Just as it was back in the day. Street Hemis with 425 hp! 490 lb-ft! WOW! And they sold HOW MANY HEMIS against "failure Fords" and "garbage GMs?"

They sold so many the car disappeared 40 years ago.

Watch the Hellcats' volumes SOAR!

NOT.

Gosh, how can you say such a thing?

Now, THAT'S "viral" marketing propaganda. In spades.

If the engine makes 800+, then the dyno confirms it has a 20%+ driveline loss. And I don't think that's quite the case. We KNOW it's a Clydesdale, but in this case it must have CRUSHED the dyno drum from excessive weight.

If that was true, "months ago", perhaps, by the time they got it in production, it was past its "Best Before" date?!
