Well by tour RAM Hemi in 2023 because in 2024 the new straight six with turbos will be you only choice. It's supposed a 3L . I won't be buying one no matter how fast it is or anything about it.

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 up.. as far as wanting to know the 1/4 mile of a pickup truck, thats cool, but i dont think id ever use that in my buying decision unless it was a complete **** and i dont believe the 5.7 hemi is a ****. i try not to get involved in these discussions, but i slip here and there!Probably meant 5.3
In other words...we got us a hemi regardless and it'real.lolNext we'll hear the Hemi is a V-6 with 2 fake empty cylinders. You can't say "Semi Hemi" without the word "HEMI". So for what is offered today I'll just stick with Hemi! It's the closest we got. Works for me!
fair point, but in the same article my point was also made (though i didnt read the whole thing yet). i never knew that pretty much all of them were "semi-hemi" but the articles i read werent recent, meaning i either didnt read the whole thing or the right one.Technically all are mostly semi,excepting for the 1951 version that was closest to an actual hemispherical designHemi Engine Pros and Cons
Everybody loves a Hemi engine, but few know what it means. We reveal the differences between hemis and other engines, and show you hemis you’ve never seen.www.motortrend.com
It is as close to technically possible for the best results regarding the hemispherical design limits, that the engineers had to contend with.fair point, but in the same article my point was also made (though i didnt read the whole thing yet). i never knew that pretty much all of them were "semi-hemi" but the articles i read werent recent, meaning i either didnt read the whole thing or the right one.
i get it, emissions. i knew that already. all my point was is it was clever of them to bring the hemi name back, as it obviously still holds weight today because they know (like anything) most people arent going to know the difference. they think back to the 60s and think "its a hemi, it better be fast, powerful etc) my father had the 5.7 in his challenger, i liked it, so once again im not knocking it. im just saying it how it is. if i wanted a new ram id be good with the 5.7 and think all of the newer trucks are at the very least adequate, probably even the NA v6s in most cases.It is as close to technically possible for the best results regarding the hemispherical design limits, that the engineers had to contend with.
The hemi folks remember what was the winningest engine,the 426 hemi that nascar ever experienced.But yes,the newer ones are 345ci and larger but they are not the 426.But the modern hemi in larger cid outruns the old 426 street version anyway nowdays.So of course there are fans of all types of cars and engines.And that is okay.i get it, emissions. i knew that already. all my point was is it was clever of them to bring the hemi name back, as it obviously still holds weight today because they know (like anything) most people arent going to know the difference. they think back to the 60s and think "its a hemi, it better be fast, powerful etc) my father had the 5.7 in his challenger, i liked it, so once again im not knocking it. im just saying it how it is. if i wanted a new ram id be good with the 5.7 and think all of the newer trucks are at the very least adequate, probably even the NA v6s in most cases.
