DeluxeStang Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Not since Amber Heard have I come across a story of someone shitting the bed this hard. I get turbos love to guzzle fuel when they prioritize a high power output, but damn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucelinc Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) The 420 HP version gets better highway mileage than the hemi while delivering more power and torque. The high output version has slightly lower EPA fuel economy ratings but has a whopping 145 more HP and over 100 lbs/ft of torque. There is nothing about these numbers that are out of line. If you want maximum towing capability or the strongest performance from a truck, you will use fuel. Edited March 22 by brucelinc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know - what if they used a smaller Atkinson cycle v6 hybrid that has no power but gets 2 more mpg? 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edselford Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 You are thinking! Maybe a Atkinson cycle I6 that is turbocharged and is a hybrid would be the way to go? Make up the power loss with the turbo but utilize the hybrid for unloaded accelerations? edselford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edselford Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Obviously, swinging Brampton plant to build next generation of EV chargers is a bad idea! New styling makes vehicles look 50 years old. What was needed was a Charger hybrid and maybe a Chrysler 300 hybrid but not the parallel hybrid system on the Ram pickup! Is Stalantus loosing its way being managed by the French? edselford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
