Latest 6.4L Hemi Rumor... FWIW... Posted today after the end of the "Chryslers At Carlisle" show. Although I believe "Orange Crush" (the poster) was told the tale by a Chrysler employee, it just does not have the "ring of truth". Why sand-bag 25-45 HP... the engines will be dynoed as soon as they are released. I could believe that Chrysler might have to "de-tune" a 500+ HP engine to help the 5 Spd Auto survive until the 8 Spd ZF Auto comes into production. With the Viper side-lined, Chrysler needs a "Halo" car with at least 500 HP to lead the charge... so, it just doesn't make sense.

Comments?...
