Please excuse any outbursts I have have from time to time, I take this stuff serious. Being a Mopar guy, when someone claims a great powerplant like the 426 Hemi is no good, and Slant Six engines are turds, those are pretty wide-spread sweeping statements that can't go on unnoticed. I realize there's a few know-it-alls on here, like any other board, but when it comes to the great Chrysler powerplants of yesteryear, hey let's have some respect. They earned their way into the Hall of Fame.

Re: AUTOMOTIVE PASSION
It's all good, we need to try and see other's point of view. Hemis ruled for so many years I just can't believe anyone would not accept that. Let's take the 1964 Daytona 500, what were the first five or so cars across the line? Yes, the Hemi. That was the start of it all.

Re: AUTOMOTIVE PASSION
Let it go....nobody said 426/slant sixers or Mopars are junk. I've been watching your posts, and frankly, your pretty abrasive. Just chill out and go with the flow and you will fit in in no time......relax, take it easy.Whiskey for my men ... and beer for their horses!

Re: AUTOMOTIVE PASSION
OK, let's just all agree on something, ask 1000 people off the street, in the malls, what a "HEMI" is, and ask questions like what a "RAT" is or a "SOHC" or a "MOUSE MOTOR" and I predict, by a rather wide margin, far and above more mainstreamers will know the HEMI is a famous car engine. I rest my case.

I'll be stationed by the escalator with my clip board (and an orange julius).

Re: AUTOMOTIVE PASSION
Notoriety is not always a good thing.....Although I do agree that a 426 Hemi is an iconic engine.
I could give a crap what mainstreamers think of an engine....Would you ask people who don't know about cars what engine YOU should use?
BTW....Orange Julius is delicious. ;D
Seth200 mph or bust.......
