lol, the v8 6.1l wont have any dead spots, and trust me, it will tear the fastest of the srt6's.......acceleration in all gears is so responsive and so much raw power that the v8 just bellows out pure muscle, my friends got the 6.1l hemi srt8 jeep, and my god its fun. and as for pricing, around £50,000 $100,000
