Robert Lee, Director of Rear-Wheel Drive engines, made a comment about the
Hemi 5.7 over the 5.9 engine it replaced.

" It works. At 1200RPM it matches the total torque output of the 5.9, then
blows it away from there...." The weight difference saved is 56lbs.

Then someone asked about the upcoming Hemi 6.X ltr and the V-10 Hemi.
"....no comment..."

Hmm, does that mean it is on its way?
