http://www.caranddriver.com/article....&page_number=1

thought some of you might wanna see this:



ENGINE
Type: V-8, iron block and aluminum heads
Bore x stroke: 3.92 x 3.58 in, 99.5 x 90.9mm
Displacement: 345 cu in, 5654cc
Compression ratio: 9.6:1
Fuel-delivery system: port injection
Valve gear: pushrods, 2 valves per cylinder, hydraulic lifters
Power (SAE net): 330 bhp @ 5000 rpm
Torque (SAE net): 375 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm
Redline: 5800 rpm


Transmission: 6-speed automatic with manumatic shifting
Final-drive ratio: 3.73:1, limited slip

still a unibody all the potential of a "real off road vehicle but a unibody" i dont get it.
CHASSIS/BODY
Type: unit construction
Body material: welded steel stampings


something else i dont understand is why they put 3 different 4X4 choices all in one. What ever happened to the good 'ole high lock/low lock?

BTW, this is not a concept.


edit
if I had a choice, i would probably go with this:
the new hummer.

what's so great about a hemi? i know it has a different pisto shape at the top, but what does that do for the performance?

that looks nice. the jeep brand and the hemi name will attract many people.

i dont understand some of the newer 4x4s. they have the automatic 4x4 engagement systems, where if you start to slip it will go into 4x4 mode. this is not good when you want to mess around.

but.. i was reading the post.. it says..


Valve gear: pushrods, 2 valves per cylinder, hydraulic lifters

2 valves? is that measured as 2 valves per intake and exhaust.. or just 2 valves.. because for today's technology... only 2 valves in a cylinder, is like going backwards to me..

SkunT

well, jeep has relied on the IL6 for soo many years, now it takes on the hemi....thats my point.

They'll sell them for $38,000 and years years later they'll be worth $9,000 !!! I love jeep/dodges !!!

Also.... My civic has a 1.6L sohc 4 valves per cylinder hemi.
My focus has a dohc hemi
and my saturn has a 1.9L Hemi !!!

Isn't marketing great !!! Hemi, hehehe....

the hemi is special cause its the only V engine that is OHV and has hemisphereical chambers :P

J-SMITH69

more small valves = high revving
2 big valve = torque

has nothing to do with technology, in fact if that hemi has displacement on demand or wahtever dsm calls it... its light ages above your honda motor

you left out the gas mileage of both.
here in socal, the gas prices are above 2.50/gal now. (premium)

i think both are around 14-18?
