They will NEVER build it, American auto makers never have the ***** to actually make them
Concept cars are just fantasy for American auto makers, they never have the ***** to actually make them. If they do put something out like that it will have thier crappy v-6 in like the Prowler had. All show and no go.

It refers to a certain line of Dodge motors that utilize a specifically designed head...
"Hemi" is basically short for Hemispherical. It refers to the head design that Dodge engineered back in the, if I recall correctly, early/mid 60s. They have long been known to be one of the kings for big cube horsepower. Recently Dodge has resurrected the concept and started integrating it into some of it's cars and trucks in it's current lineup.

How can you say that we don't have *****. Did anyone think the Pt Cruiser would happen or VIPER or..
Prowler! Dodge is the ONLY ONE for awhile now that has been shocking people, turning cool looking concepts into reality!

Aside from the body shells the Prowler and PT Cruiser hardly compare to this concept...
The Prowler came with a slow as dog **** V6 matted only to an automatic transmission and even the new "Turbo!" PT Cruiser has comprable acceleration figures to slightly modified Civics.
Their new Neon does look like an interesting concept though.

True, but what does today's consumer get from the technology other than the "HEMI" label? (m)
An engine with similar performance to a standard V-8 that probably weighs 100 lbs more, and takes up more space in the engine compartment.
