if there's anything that gm could learn from dcx, it's how to package and market a product...
there's no doubt that the "hemi" name is a marketing tool.....calling it a "poly" doesn't have the same ring to it, nor the historical cache...but the actual design does take it's root in the 60's era mopar hemis.......wouldn't make much sense not updating half century old technology, and they did it and made a bad *** engine that is also emissions friendly......i can understand the resentment towards the pub it gets and the morons who buy into the "my truck is a race car" line, but the engine is wicked......if they ever get a clue and put it in something that weighs less than 4klbs you'll really have something that turns heads.....
this engine is more a "hemi" than the cobalt ss is a "super sport"

I will agree about the heads, but it also follows allot of other characteristics.
hemispherically-shaped combustion chambers, intake/exhaust port locations
And the motor put out equally as much power as their old motors did under their old ratings. Some company had an engine test sheet on the 426 hemi. So they compared that with the 6.1L and put out the same power but at much smaller cubes due to the technology.

Meaning 4x4 sc, sb versus 4x4 sc, sb, etc. I've seen it over and over the past 2 years. Now since they upped the horse power to 295 thanks to the nissan titan being introduced, possibly the outcome maybe slightly closer than previous. I haven't gone this year to say one way or the other but they were winning by 4-5 lengths when I was going in '04 and '05. I've seen countless stock silverado ss getting beat by 2wd stock 2wd quad cab hemis. Why do you think they put 6.0L in the 1500s?
