i think their V10 is more of a wedge motor. The newer Hemis are ALMOST Hemis, probably Hemi enough to call them Hemis i think.

They probably dont make a V6 version because from what i heard the actual Hemi design isnt the best for a clean burn (emmissions). Maybe they couldnt make it work? I think most OHC engines have combustion chambers that are very Hemi-like as well, but arent advertised as "Hemi"

I believe theyre basing it off the 5.7hemi and NOT the 6.1 Hemi (SRT8) V8. is that what you were asking?

Yep, based on the newer tech with VCT and MDS and has a goal to get it out of gas guzzler territory along with increased perfromance.

it rounds to 5.0. its a 4.96 or something. if it was a 4.94 it would round to 4.9, but if you are using one decimal place you must round to 5.0 per the rules of math or whatever because the second decimal is above 5, therefore if rounding to 1 decimal, it must be written as 5.0.
