So figure $40k for a nice one making 700-800hp.. $40k into an LSx will get you a fuckton more. Oh yeah, have fun with the old Hemi valvetrain ;D There are no big/small block Hemi's....

Yeah, in stock trend the newer, lighter car will probaly be superior to the older car in terms of acceleration(and probaly many other terms). But if you put equal amounts of money into both engines, which do you think will respond better to the money you put into. How much will it cost you to supercharge or turbo the new gen Hemi engine with all the OBD2 and emissions bs you have associated with that engine. Now compare that to the $$ needed to boost the small block, CARBURATED hemi. I wonder what FearsomeDan has in his sbc?? Bet it wouldn't take much more to do tha same to the hemi...
