I'm not sure what the future holds for the big V-8s... but they have been put in the grave before. They are still with us and improving everyday. Some sharp minds are at work and I'm always amazed at how adaptable the V-8s have become. Who knows what tomarrow holds for our beloved V-8s, but they keep coming back and better than ever. I was there in the 70s and 80s. when the Hemi was a faint memory. And with no hope in sight. Then came the 90s and a flicker of hope. Today you can get an updated version of the 426 street Hemi or get a Dodge product with a choice of Hemis. I will not count out the V-8s just yet and with technology around the corner... who knows.
