What exactly is a HEMI
I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers, but merely see if I am correct in my assumption. Is there something special about a Hemi or is that just the designation Dodge is using for their motors now? I remember in the past it was Magnum and Ford has the Triton and Chevy has the Vortec. To me it just seems like a marketing ploy, make a few changes to a motor and call it some cool name and then add a premium to the cost.
Again, I am not trying to offend any Hemi owners, I was just curious if there is something special about the motor?
They seem quite powerful and fast.

What exactly is a HEMI
The Hemi engine in a pickup just doesn't make sense to me. Most people who use their pickups as daily drivers are trying to get decent mileage and still be able to haul and tow a little bit. People who use their trucks quite a bit go with the diesels. So why in the world would you put some 500 HP engine in a truck. People should make up their mind if they want a sports car or a truck. Sort of reminds me of the old GMC Cyclone.
I'm afraid a lot of these people buying these cars with the "hemi" powered motor are going to be a little disappointed when a kid pulls up next to them at a red light in their little import and leaves them setting still and still get 30 miles to the gallon!!!!
I'm like Chief, if I'm going to get power, I want diesel power. Speed in a pickup is like oil and water, they weren't meant to be mixed together. Just my $.02 fellas.
