Now Dodge is killing the Hemi in addition to the Hellcat

JKSully · 12-15-2021, 10:21 PM

I'm not seeing anything saying WHEN it will go away, but the Hemi is being phased out in favor of an inline 6 turbo.

Again, feeling like I pulled the trigger on my last V8 at just the right time when I ordered my Camaro this summer.

And as a reminder - keep politics out of any ensuing discussion, please...

LOL! Good luck with that. OR it will turn into a "Electric cars are the work of Satan" VS "Electric cars are the greatest invention since sliced bread and night baseball" thread.

I'd like that sound coming out of my Jeep Commander.Right now it has only a single exhaust but it does have a 5.7 Hemi. I'm sure the exhaust is choking some of the HP of the 5.7 Hemi,at least it has the 3:73 gears,they help to move the over 5K lb. brick.My Camaro has headers, HF cats,electric cut-outs,x-pipe and Borla Atak's. I love the sound that comes out with the Borla Attaks,my grandson likes it with the cut-offs open,"push that button again grampy!".

Its no surprise. All of Mopar's v8s except Ram are going away.
