I test drove the new HEMI Magnum today and if DC wants to go after Corvettes they should put that Hemi in the next year Crossfire!And add some better seats,6cd,nav,and nicer dash.

 

And I also test drove the Cadilac XLR ! Liked it alot except the price $75,000. minus $5-6,000 discount! I think the Crossfire would be a great buy with the HEMI as an option!Probably $35000 +option $1,000

 

Dan,

What is so special about the Hemi engine. I know about the shape, but does it deliver more power per litre (or cubic inch)?

Is it lighter, take up less space etc.?

 

The 300c has a 5.7 L Hemi producing 390 ft-lbs of torque.
The 2005 Corvette has a 6.0 L engine producing 400 ft-lbs of torque.
New Pontiac GTO, 5.7 L producing 365 ft-lbs of torque.
If you want a technical explanation of how a hemispherical combustion chamber is better than normal, go here: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/hemi.htm

 

It has over 300Hp very smooth,Wt.I don't know?Gets 27 mpg.And is probably is less exspensive than the German v-6 in the Crossfire!

 

Read the article. Many thanks for the link.

Now, where do I get one?

 

I think DC should squeeze that HEMI into the XF,and it would Blow away the VETTES thunder.
