    I actually saw one of these moaning down the road (an R/T version).

    I listened for the Hemi Burble, which it lacked.

    Here’s how he put it: “I’ve had 6, 5.7 HEMI’s, and this new Hurricane’s SST absolutely destroys it. Sure, it’s quiet but after my last car being the Hellcat TRX, I welcome the quiet and smooth operation. It pulls way harder down low, mid and up high in the RPM’s. Don’t get me wrong, I obviously am a fan of V8’s but I know a good engine when I have one. I’m glad the HEMI’s are coming back at least as an option, but zero shot I’d go back to a 5.7 HEMI over the Hurricane SST.”

    Uncle Tony takes a deep dive into the Hurricane engine and the result is not complimentary for this engine.

    He may be old but he is a very good engine builder and really knows HEMIs.
