Why is it that a rag like C&D is quoting MoparInsiders?

I ran across a couple of stories on facebook yesterday but didn't dig into it. Figured someone would post it on here if it were true, surprised there were not 3 threads about it

I realize it's probably a lot just to bring these back, but surely(hopefully) they will have some upgrades for us.

 

[Unholy707]

We’re baaaaaaaack

 

[Unholy707]

I want to hear more about this new hemi

 

[Unholy707]

The best part is all of them will be manufactured here

We’re baaaaasaack

Basack???

 

[Bobo]

Basack???

Short for Ball Sack!!




On another note we've been building the shit out of the 392 Wranglers! Got a huge pile of Hemis in the back warehouse and got the 6.4L engine line back up and running two weeks ago

Hopefully without any "technical issues", like you experienced this morning.

My question is: What are these actually going to be put in now that the traditional charger, challenger, 300, etc are dead?

 

[jroyk]

Hopefully they’ll go in some lighter Mopars.

Hornets?

 

[Bowlerguy92]

Hornets?

THAT might actually get me to buy one

 

[MJS73]

Great, now all they need are some cars to put those engines in.

It’s possible that they are making new engines for warranty and service replacements and trucks. They do not currently have a car platform that will accommodate the Gen 3 Hemi.

 

[Unholy707]

Now just need to revive the scrapped platforms and they’ll be a gold mine again. Make the same body for another 10 years they’ll sell

They fit in the Charger!!!

 

[MJS73]

I'm 99% certain I read that the Gen 3 Hemi did not fit in the new Charger platform.

'Not a shot at M.I., but at C&D...

For decades I relied solely on C&D for timed acceleration numbers, as they were literally the only one's who I personally confirmed to be accurate.

Later on, MT and R&T caught up but C&D remains my go to testing journal.

Surprised me too that this hadn't been posted here yet, which is why I made sure to check that I wasn't duplicating someone else's post.
