This.I am genuinely interested in how many dodge "Hemi" owners believe they have a literal "Hemi" engine. Its the same thing as if Mustang owners thought there was a literal coyote under the hood powering the car. AKA nothing more than a name. I bet a disproportionate number on here know the truth, since its a car forum, but in the real world I bet its a laughably small number. :lol:
I recall writing a letter to Hot Rod Magazine (which was published) years ago after reading an article on the then-new "Hemi" engine, pointing out that it was a rather egregious use of the name due to technical details.
The late model "Hemi" engines are not hemis by any stretch of the imagination. Pure marketing fluff. False advertising, really, if you want to pick nits.
