RACING FORUM BECAUSE THE CRATE MOTOR IS >1000 HP! Someone is gonna come up against one some day.
Gubment didn't shut down the Gen 3 hemi, Stellantis, THE ENTITY FORMERLY KNOWN AS MOPAR did as their entire platform did not meet an average xx mpg mandated by the 'evil gubment'. In reality they could have kept the gen 3 and produced 100,000 more electric cars or 1.4l jeeps or V6 Diesels and brought their average MPG inline with every other car makers lines. Twin turbo V6's are F'n awesome, ie Nissan GTR. Something about the balance of a V6? How about RAM bringing back the D50, a small shitbox standard cab truck (that looks like the old mini trucks, no cartoon looking aero headlight BS) for the masses priced at under 20k? Put a small motor in it, maybe with a diesel/plug in electric option, strip it down to bare bones utility status with options galore and hype the mileage and price and sell a ton, like the Neon. It could be there new K-car or minivan, the saving grace for Mopar/RAM/jeep/insert name here . If Tesla can envision producing a 25K electric car (or even a truck!) Then Stellantis can.
