Re:2004 Durango & 5.7l hemi
dodge is just playing on people who dont know ---- about cars with their "hemi".
all a "hemi" is, is a head with a hemispherical combustion chamber. All hondas are "hemis", as well as most cars that were made after 1970.
dodge started making "hemi" engines to get better performance out of old school overhead valve heads with a wedge combustion chamber.

Now this is a bad *** Dodge...
The Dodge Magnum SRT-8 concept vehicle takes the Hemi one step further, with a Whipple supercharger to add power at both low and high rpm. It helps to raise power to about 430 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque - just a tad more than the official ratings of the legendary 426 Hemi, and without the single-digit gas mileage or oil consumption.
Using rear wheel drive and a V8 forced Dodge to return to the olden days of a long hood and large grille, but pays off with the loss of torque steer and full use of all four tires. Electronic stability control, traction control, and antilock brakes help end the main problem of rear-drive V8s of old: the tendency for the rear to swing around in excessive oversteer, sometimes spinning the driver in a full circle.
Oh and its now in production.Saw a comercial on tv for it yesterday .......NICE!
