I read a new RUMOR about a week ago that the 09 challengers would have the option of the 7.0 L hemi (same size as the original 426 hemi but producing almost 80 more horses)
Good side......it's a huge powerhouse
Bad side........It's a huge gass guzzeler
Might work for a drag car but i would hate puttin gas in the thing
Interesting rumor. The only thing that I have a problem with is why would it only be producing 505hp (as I'm assuming they are refering to the officially rated 425hp instead of the dyno rating which was quite higher) when the 392 (6.4L) pretty much can do that already. On an earily thread, there was a rumor that it would be a 4 valve per cylinder head. Is this the same rumor, or is this rumor claiming it will be a 2 valve OHV head design?
They could help to counter the fuel mileage aspect if they provide the correct gearing as GM has with their V8 cars.
