“Is V8 a bad word? No,” Have we announced anything? No, but we’re just getting started.” - Dodge CEO

Ya gotta love the guy

Yet early polls indicate an approval rating of not quite 60%....can 40% of the American people STILL be brain dead

YES!

I dont think dodge can compete with M tbh.

They have too much money over there in Germany, add the fact that people will pay big money for a bmw but won't for a dodge and you have a recipe for a failure.

Dodges real claim to fame was 700hp at around 70k. The original hellcat was so popular because of how reasonably priced it was.

Also that s58 motor is built different.

Stock block is good for an additional 200-300 hp over stock.

Some of those built motor s58s are doing 60-130 in the 3 seconds. All it takes to build em is drop in rods, head studs and a built trans.

60-130 in the 3 second range is 1300whp gtr/ twin turbo huracan & r8 fast.

The new m3/m4 is basically the new gtr, these things are gonna be king of the track as they get more affordable.

These xdrive cars have been out since 2022 and are already in the 7s. Crazy progress in a few years.

is there any comparisons with the M4 and the Giulia? that would give you a comparison on their turbo I sixes

Eight years ago, TopGear chose the Giulia:

At a recent Edmunds U-Drags Race, the Giulia got smoked:

But they're 6 pots and this is an SRT forum. Where's the beef? (V8's!)

agree but this is the engine dodge is pushing for their high performance ice engine for now. they look pretty close but the beemer pulls away up top. BMW definitely under rates their numbers

Some general news info for the day. Nothing surprising
The media keeps mixing the Challenger in with the Charger
I have not seen any Challenger info to lead me to think there is something coming

Pretty cute they call this a muscle car revival after they killed it. With no muscle in the Stellantis line up how many years will it take to develop this new muscle car & bring to market?

The Alfa Quadrifoglio has a V6 which is the Ferrari V8 with 2 cylinders chopped off.

I don't think he has slept in years! Or ever! The guy is an alien! And I mean that is the good way!

There was a guy on one of the podcasts yesterday and he has worked at the white house of and on for 20 years.

He said every time he walks by the Oval Office there is a marine standing guard and that means one thing. The President is in there working. He said in the 4 years Biden was in office he never once saw the marine after normal business hours.

Well the deal is in order for them to give a favorable polling they would have to admit to themselves that they were wrong. In today’s world no one takes accountability.

Another problem is people still listen to legacy media. Trump has found 80,000 of the 300,000 missing children in 5 days and it hasn’t been on legacy media at all that I know of.

The Donald is AMAZING..(I've never cared for his personality)....even that has kinda lost it's edge..he seems while being incredibly driven..he's developed a sense of humility...We as Americans are very fortunate he's our President

That they do. At this point, I wonder who it is they think they're fooling? Lol

I'm convinced that the people who still maliciously rag on Pres. Trump are mentally and/or spiritually ill.

Seriously, it's that simple.

Just ask anyone who doesn't like him! They'll say: "He's, like, eeewww!" That says it all!

(I am not sure of the correct spelling of eeww.)

Yep. Never goes any deeper than name calling.
