    Hemi performance...?

    brand loyalty is something i cant get behind and is exactly what i was getting at with chrysler using the hemi badge in late model vehicles. its a hemi as long as dodge calls it that, but again im not bashing, just how i see it. i ride/drive whatever i want. lets face it, most major brands in...

    Hemi performance...?

    Hemi performance...?

    no, to the best of my knowledge a 5.3 never came in a corvette, but a 5.5 DOES come in the upcoming zo6 vette. as far as "its a hemi" speak, not really. the newer hemis (since 2003) are not actually true hemis and have been called "semi-hemis" its a marketing thing that obviously works. look it...
