I'm thinking a smaller more efficient V8 with the turbos making an easy 600hp and a couple electric motors up front at 100hp each in a tad smaller/lighter two door platform called the Cuda that weighs around 3800 lbs and be AWD would be pretty slick.

Let the two electric motors provide 50 or so miles of fully electric range to keep the CAFE standard up and avoid the GG tax for bonus points.

Dodge should hire me for their FVD program.
The Hurricane with a 76mm should make north of 900 whp in the right hands.

GM's ZR1 is supposedly the 5.5L engine with a couple of hair dryers making over 800hp

Stellantis going to make a quad cam V8 engine?

Dodge could go with a smaller V8 Hybrid twin turbo
This may or may not suit some of the current / new Government emission regulations the Auto sector needs to meet ( FJT )
It would also supply massive amounts of torque
&
Could appease both the performance world & the heavy vehicle / towing package crowd

Emissions & fuel mileage seekers killed most Muscle cars 50 years ago
Governments are constantly trying to kill what little we have left

I remember tellin my wife the 18 Demon was it for me...then the C8 was the ABSOLUTE last....now the 170 is the ULTIMATE last...really hon,,,this time I really really mean it:giggle::giggle::giggle:
But in all fairness to me...the C8 shouldn't count... from the day we picked it up and she drove it home she told me I wasn't gettin the keys...and that's pretty much the way it's been...I've only driven it a handful of times and we've had it almost 4 yrs.

2 step on a transbrake ;)

Timing and backside sizing will also play a role.

But yes, big turbos can make big lag until they light up.

Is there a DeCanter set, and Jay Leno car care kit that comes with the D 170's? Or is that an after purchase?
