cracks me up when they photoshop wide-body flares to a wide body. This thing would need something that does not exist like 555-10-R20 tires, transport truck mirrors, flags on each corner as well as escorts front and back.

I’m going to be interested in John from boosted motorsports. He had a Hurricane in a Viper last year at roadkill nights and since the parameters this year are you need to use the Charger body and drivetrain (modified) he focused on weight.

He doesn’t have everything back in the car but the drivetrain is. He now has it down to right under 3400lbs which is going to really show off the powertrain since it should be 1000lbs or so under the factory weight.

I know you can get a hurricane to go fast. Everyone hates how an electric car sounds or doesn't sound and most don't like the sound of a 6 cylinder. So many change their exhaust to get their car to sound more like what they want. I think if a 6 sounded more like an 8 more people wouldn't care what is under the hood. The sound of a car effects us more then most think

Did you watch some of the videos from the influencers they GAVE cars to? Most of them can't even get it started or driving after modifying it. There's no tubing available. Tired of these influencers that get everything for free and want you to buy stuff. Not going to work with a charger. This was the final nail. And then Cletus's "we bought the worst car in America" videos

V8 (797 to 1025hp) -> electric (670hp awd) -> TT 6 (540hp awd) -> TT 6 (600+hp awd).

Doesn't seem like they are progressing in the right direction and leadership matters.

Tim Kuniskis - pure, unadulterated displacement, architect of the modern, V8-powered "Brotherhood of Muscle".
Matt McAlear- multi-energy mechanical innovation. In other words, boring to Dodge enthusiasts.

Dodge 2030 Vision: ~ 10% growth... boring.

SRT 2030 Vision: Ultimate performance, Elevated personal Expression, Engineered to the last tenth, Halo performance, Emotion and Excitement.

Dodge is not the answer. SRT is and I'm interested in products Tim K will deliver again.

Does that say they sold 135 or 135,000? Lol. Durango shouldn't be included because it's literally keeping the brand afloat right now

“Elevated Personal Expression” = Woke gobbledygook

The six will never sound like an 8 but I think most people are stuck on what the original Hurricane sounded like since it literally sounded like a leaf blower. Dodge put 2 months of solid work to improve the sound and I think they did a great job. Sure it won’t sound like a V8 but it’s massively better than the original Hurricane.

Everyone seems to love the sound of the inline 6 from BMW so an inline 6 can be made to sound good but I think people are just going to hate on it because they see it as the engine that took away their V8 which BMW didn’t have to deal with.

I do think they need to get rid of the pop in between shifts because it doesn’t sound good like it does on my V8 Scat Pack.

It could be a 3000hp hurricane. It'll still sound like 7 bags of ass and be Gh3yer than AIDS.
