Were all of you aware that this generation of dodge engines with the Hemi nameplace do not have the actual hemispherical cylinder heads that the name comes from?

Back in the days of big ol' muscle cars (60's and 70's), these HEMI engines actually had hemispherical heads which was very effective in improving combustion quality.

All of the HEMI engines nowadays are nearly beefed up non-hemispherical head engines that just happen to have HEMI written on the side of them. this time around, HEMI is just simply a name.

It's not that dodge is trying to decieve us, they're just playing with name recognition, and hoping no one investigates further.

I would rather they just call it a new name its not a real HEMI. that'd be like ford calling their 4.6 motor the SOHC CAMMER 427. But I d rather dodge have that than lie about fuel milage like toyota does. they are under federal investigation for fradulant fuel milage claims. and ha ha TOYOTA already got caught cheating in NASCAR.too.

isnt it also that they can build a car in mexico and put an american name on it and call it an american car

as far as speed limitors this is programed in the computer and can easley be reprogramed with a scan tool

they also false advertise info on the HEMI speed 160 on the odometer, but yet they install a speed limiter device. that way they save on tire cost.

This guy above me is just bitter that he purchased an American car when he would have been smart to purchase a Japanese
