V8s returning thread-- Ram received 10,000 orders in the first 24 hours...
I remember the 3.6 Pentastar would crack cylinder heads when it was relatively new. They fixed it pretty quickly from what I recall.
They're already probably hemorrhaging money with this about face on V8's. I'm sure developing the Hurricane was a couple hundred million dollars. I think I'm not being realistic with some kind of significant upgrade. Would be nice though.

It'll be fun to see what happens. I agree, they spent TONS of money developing an engine that many customers don't want.
I can't imagine a Challenger without a Hemi. I'm not into muscle cars but they look the best out of them.
It's like the Grand Wagoneer, they ripped out the 6.4L V8 with I believe 483 horsepower. 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. Okay, the problem there was?????? Hurricanes as we have pointed out aren't any better at the pump (enough worth noting, at least). I'll sacrifice a little speed for a ridiculous, violent V8 like that.

I should have said it's under 2.4 added since the pressure ratio is below 14.7 added psi putting it somewhere around 2.0 for an effectively 8.0ish size engine. That's leaving out the fact average power is nicely increased past a pure displacement bump with a super.
