None the less it's the person who INVENTED the Hemi. No argument.

I don't see why you keep going on, but since I'm new to these boards your the one guy every board seems to have, ignorant and oblivious to the world no matter how many times your proved wrong. Look, yes they use a Hemi in drag racing, no it's not a Mopar hemi, they go through the NHRA sanctioning body for all the specs they can use and yadda yadda yadda.

We have prove that Chrysler didn't invent it, and they aren't the only ones to use it, so I don't get the argument.

chrysler did design the hemis used today. they had a design patent that has already ran out, so now anyone can copy it. I just wanted to prove a point that the lightning motor doesnt have as much potential as a hemi.

You need to chill son, take a nap or something, eat a cookie or something.

Everyone here KNOW’S a Hemi SUCKS for drag racing…

Stock Lightning vs. stock Hemi truck and the outcome is the same time and time again:

The dumb *** Dodge boy gets his *** handed to him EVERY TIME!

Here hemi, hemi, hemi…

Did you eat paintchips your whole life!? How can you possibly say that when you've been preaching that the hemi has been around forever, and now your comparing it to a motor that's been used since '99. Just a little FYI on Mod motors, the blocks, WAY stronger than any pushrod block since there isn't a cam runnin' down through the center of the block weakening it. There are guy's runnin' STOCK '97 Cobra blocks DEEP in the 6's.

PLUS, if you wanna say a S/C 5.4 doesn't have the potential of the NEW hemi just for arguments sake, it's only been out since '02, how the hell do you know what the potential of that motor is seeing how the only similarity, and a far one at that, compared to the 60's hemi, is the shape, vauge shape, of the combustion chamber.

When I see a new Hemi run 10's in the quarter this year in a truck, then maybe you can have a valid argument.

Go back to drag racing 101. More cubic inches = more potential horsepower.

Here's a link that explains everything clearly enough. Well, probably not.


http://www.allpar.com/mopar/hemi/ardun.html


Paraphrased, it says that the roots of the motor Chrysler dubbed the "HEMI" are uncertain; but, Chrysler didn't invent it. The difference between the engine that Chrysler developed, and those that came before, was the use of OHV technology. Chrysler developed the first mass produced OHV hemi engine. How they did it is still anybody's guess. There was opportunity to borrow from Ford and GM.

While your in the class room reading that I'm actually out there doin' it. I normally will agree with you about no replacment for displacment, so tell me how 20 more cubes is gonna make that big a difference there son. And I don't see any 5.7 Hemi's in the 10's do you?

Just pointing out another flaw in that pea you have in your head. Top Fuel cars range between 492 and 500 c.i. You were close though

Maybe we shouldn't pick on the "special" one.

Seriously, V10, you havn't, nor does it look like will prove anybody wrong, and it's makin' you, if at all possible, look even worse.

Man I love these guy's!

This has to be one of the dumbest posts anywhere.

It appears many want to act like 14 year old school kids again.

"My dad's better than your dad"

"oh yeah? well my dad has a better car than your dad"

Geez fellas. It's time to grow up.
