Where's the all box to cast a vote?

[pwu2005]

I should have put all of the above...oh well, too late!

[rumblefish360]

Edit won't work?

Post if you agree with my last post...all need more (Mo) power.

'All of the above' has been added to your poll.

You the man "E"

[pwu2005]

Hey, thanks

[SUN RA KAT]

"All the above" is the only correct answer.

I got a new 2002 Viper GTS and have modified it to about 510 horspower - before I even picked it up from the dealer! I've already started Stage Two - Sean Roe Racing VEC1 arrived today and I've put down my deposit for the Sean Roe Supercharger already. 565 rear wheel horsepower, or 650 flywheel horsepower.

If my Viper needs more power, then everything else does, too!

You will run out of balls or road before you run out of power in a Viper!

Never seen a car that had enough mo power!!!

I hope somebody sends this poll imformation to the guys at Chrysler and the new PVO division.

i think an srt dakota with a blown 5.7L hemi would be the coolest marketing move in a while

[Maxwedge]

Sun Ra...your completly nuts..stock that beast will smoke the 13 INCH TIRES all the way through 2nd gear(thats like 80mph)..your going to need a 4 link just to get it to hook up....LOL

[cuda66273]

Everything needs more Mo-Power...I've even tried 110 Octane in my Toro and Honda 1K Generator.....still have to push that dam lawnmower and the Honda still won't run the A/C in the Motohome

[SUN RA KAT]

I paid my $3,000 gas guzzler tax and I want to guzzle gas.

Even mofified as my Viper is already, I could only get 14.2 MPG (checked by math at my fill up this morning).

I think the supercharger might get me closer to the EPA standard of 11 MPG for a Viper.

[6pakman]

its not working on this end. so i'll cast here--- all of the above.

[6pakman]

hey sun ra kat, i agree, you paid the tax, you have every right to guzzle gas. and pass it too!!!!!!!

[dirty dan]

Asking me that ? is like showing me 2 mud pudles and asking wich one is wetest?
Againe I shout from the roof top.

GIVE ME BACK MY BIG BLOCK!!!!!

I would be glad to take it plain.
But would perfer it raped up in a prowler.

Did I mention Iam expecting dilivery
when hell fire turns to ice.

Dan, I'm waiting for that cold day myself. Global warming must be greatest at D-C headquarters, I see no relief coming. The Prowler is perfect proof that the Marketing weinies are totally out of touch with what the buyers really want. Now they're discontinuing it? If they had put a V-8 in it to begin with, they'd still have backorders. It speaks volumes that Chrysler doesn't offer a V-8 in any passenger car. Don't tell me about what they've announced for the future, they've cancelled projects enough times that I won't belive it until I see it.

[6pakman]

dirty dan, you need a spell checker on your end. but yea i agree!!

I think Ma Mopar is finally getting it together with the current Turbo GT Cruiser [actual 70 more horsepower to the ground according to G Tech (from 97 stock hp to 167 turbo'd)]. The upcoming Hemi option is 354/354 output NET for the 300M, 300C, Concorde and Charger (yup, I said Charger) is at least going in the right direction. Not to mention the SRT4 neon and the SRT10 Ram and all the other up-and-coming PVO units that they GUARANTEE will out-do everything in the same class as what they build or they won't build it...Hmmm...kinda like how we dominated the Brickyard the other day. "...we won this race twice before we even started today!" per Bill Elliot. Kinda feels nice to look forward to bragging about new Mopars again and IT'S ABOUT TIME! Sorry for the passion there, guess it goes with the job. 440cj

I`ve got one but she was busy.

[72Challenger]

440cj, if you weren't passionate about your job, you shouldn't be doing it, no need to apololgize.

DID you say Charger? When I was at the 2000 Auto Show in Los Angeles, the Chrysler rep there SWORE the Charger would be in production by 2003 at the latest. New model releases are in what, about 2 months now? Are you prepared to take an advance order for a 2003 RWD Hemi Charger? Like I said I'll believe it ONLY when I can see one on the showroom floor.

A point about the new Hemi, I don't want to sound like a heretic, but 1 HP per ci isn't impresive these days. The 300m is already making 250 HP and 250 lb./ft. from 213 ci (3.5 liters). So the 5.7l Hemi should make 407/407. That's okay, build it anyway. At least IF they ever build the Charger, it will be a step in the right direction.

[440cj]

Well, usually you use the 20% rule in determining Gross vs. Net on a dyno printout but it seems that 40% is commonplace regards the new cars according to G Tech results vs. manufacturer's claims in most regards. The stock Cruiser rates at a claimed 150 hp when G Tech says 97, etc. etc.. The Turbo GT Cruiser does have some kick finally, imagine what over 30% more hp and even more torque does to a 3500# car that is adaquate (at best) to begin with. Yes, the Charger nameplate is coming for the Dodge version of rear-wheel drive L platform cars Chrysler is going to produce in 2 years. Should outdo the re-done Camaro that will re-debut about then. 440cj

[71dart666]

Remember though, the new hemi is a pushrod just like the old one, the 3.5 liter is overhead cam, overhead cam engines are just more efficient at making power per cubes for some reason perhaps somebody can explain for me they dont make the low end torque? But anyways i think a DOHC new hemi would have been the way to go, thats an easy 400 + hp. I mean new hemi is a good idea but the pushrod design isnt going to be competitive too much longer in the future.

[J-BODY]

After driving the PT GT this week I'm definately excited about the Neon SRT. If you have the time, go to your local dealer and drive a non turbo PT, then hop in the GT. I think you'll like what you feel.

[Maxwedge]

OHC engines(at least HP versions) have less spring pressure and tend to have Hemi/Pent roof heads. They make power because they have semi radical cams and a high rpm limit...Check out their fuel economy(note the cam) and most get worse fuel economy than a zo6 Vett.

[72Challenger]

How many people know that Chrysler actually did build a DOHC, 4 valve-per-cylinder 426 Hemi? It was the A925 engine program, and a prototype engine was built for NASCAR to compete against Ford's new version of the 427 OHC in 1965. Bill France was shown the prototype and immediately banned both the Ford and Chrysler engines. This is why Chrysler didn't race in 1965, and it's also why the DOHC Hemi was never produced. The prototype never even made it into the dyno room, so no one really knows what it would do.

Hmmm, wonder what happened to that prototype?

[J-440]

Alright, everyone's excited about the new HEMI. You pay 30 G's for the Charger that is supposedly going to come out but does anyone know how to work on the dam thing? I can get 2 383 Road Runners for 15 grand a piece and fix em if they break. What happens when the new Hemi needs some upgrades or something goes ka-put? Will you guys be able to fix the thing? Don't count warranty work because for some reason, dealers can't fix your car or find the problem until the warranty expires. Then that's when they rape you and say "Well sir, you just bought a $30,000 car, why are you bitchin' and complaining about a $1300 tranny?" Save your money, buy you a beater to go back and forth to work, and then on the weekends, bring out your fully restored Hemi Charger will ya?? Muscle and style died in 71, don't waste your money.

J-440

[Maxwedge]

wow that was pretty negative J-440..what about the 90s F-bodied GM cars that were pulling mid 13s stock???did someone say Muscle? what about the VIper in some peoples hands that pulled high 11s??and dont give me the "Unaffordable" bit, so were(in the 60s)/are(now) the SS Cudas and the like but people still bring them up as a performance standard...
