It’s cool that they’re coming back because V8 and sound good, but they’re quite ancient aren’t they? Like the 5.7 has been around in more or less current form for decades at this point. Why WOULD anyone go for that over the blown six? Noise? Is that it?
6.4 I think there’s more of an argument for still, but I’m genuinely not quite sure of a purpose for the 5.7 in the Charger. Makes some sense to throw them back in Grand Cherokees though, and also whatever replaces the Durango in 2037 when they finally get around to that.
I also don't think the 5.7L is necessarily maxed out. It was rated at 395hp in the Ram with an 89 octane fuel recommendation (the SO Hurricane recommends 91).
I don't think pushing it into the 400+hp range would take much effort but it probably doesn't make sense with the 392 already available.
Ancient, sure, but the sort of folk who buy these cars want a V8, and that 5.7 is both time-tested and rather versatile within the lineup. The motor sold well in trucks and cars, and if it ain't broke there's no reason to fix it (other than to force customers to eat their veggies).
And this includes the new Hurricane itself, I am fully on board with bringing back the Hemi. And chopping an easy 1.5-2.0" out of the monster truck ride height. Holy Wheel Gap, Batman.
To me it still looks like three different people styled the front, middle, and rear sections, then it got mashed together during a Friday night drinking session.
ACF has made me quite the fan of Yuki Tsunoda, but now it's going to be a serious case of be careful what you wish for as he not only gets to start in the RBR, but gets to do it in front of his HOME CROWD! Needless to say this is a pressure cooker of pretty epic proportions for anyone, and I really hope that Yuki can get a handle on the 'pointy' RBR and at least get out of Q1 to showcase he's worthy of the opportunity.
I'm also scratching my head wondering how else Ferrari can cock things up for themselves after last weekend. Just when I thought they were on their way after the sprint race, they still found a way to shoot themselves in both feet. Ouch.
He has nothing lined up for 2026. Honda can't move him anywhere as in 2026 they only supply AM with Honda engines. Lance ain't leaving and Alonso has a contract for 2026.
Unless he wants to hold a clipboard for a couple of years standing by the Team Principal, his time in F1 is over after this year unless he takes a flyer if offered. Everybody says he got screwed, and he himself thinks he got done wrong.
You are correct. A "Victory" in Japan would be starting 15th or higher. But, what about Lawson, RB and Yuki's empty seat? They put Lawson in that car? What if Lawson nails it in Japan and Yuki is at the tail end? Put them back the way they were?
I don't think it is a secret that Ferrari was slow in Australia after being fast in preseason testing because they had to raise the ride height to make their cars legal. Come China, and suddenly Lewis Hamilton wins a sprint only to get caught the following day. I doubt this had anything to do with what the other teams are doing.
"will he be deflated by being ordered to swap positions with Leclerc?"

"he second best racer to wear #31… is Esteban Ocon, and he’s getting it done. As did Haas in China. You love to see it. They’re the real American team."
Will the Cadillac F1 team be based in the US or the UK?
From what I've read, one of F1's conditions on accepting GM's entry was that the Andrettis could have nothing to do with it. One might think that having a team with the name of a former driving champion might mean something but Jack says that the Europeans have disdain for Michael Andretti.
It wasn't until Ford moved the GT40 program stateside under Shelby that it started to succeed. By the way, Grok says that the 427 Cobra was developed in-house by the Shelby team but around Detroit I've heard that what they came up with wasn't very drivable and that Kar Kraft and Ford had a lot to do with how it turned out.
After seeing on the map where the wet market and the lab were as well as reading about the Diamond Princess epidemic, I had strong doubts about the narrative. Then when I read about paper masks being effective against viruses, I knew everything the establishment said after that would be horse hockey. I believe I’ve been proven correct.
im not advocating for death and genocide but im fine with there being much less than a billion of the people that destroy ecosystems and are trying to become the largest superpower
china screwing up so badly they infect the world isnt the most unrealistic possiblity so an engineered virus that just *happened* to get out is a pretty good cover story
The thing is, it's an incredibly easy disease to cure. Just take some ivomectin, or a number of other cheap, over the counter, drugs. All of which they tried to ban and told everyone didn't work or wouldn't work.
Notice nobody in the government got it or died from it. Cause they took the ivomectin.
or for those who were seen getting an injection they got a saline shot or something entirely benign yet visually indistinguishable from the actual shot
It’s possible it was not bio engineered at all. IE it was just the flu with a marketing job. I remember my thanksgiving 2019 cold/flu being awful.
Or it’s a testament to how weak and lame a bio engineered a disease is. They couldn’t even kill more people than a normal year of flu. The hey had to do it with Vents, horrible nursing home practices and clot shots.
I think for fear mongering purposes, governments also aren’t comfortable with the idea that bio weapons are not effective against anyone with a healthy lifestyle, ivermectin or nicotine.
as a weapon covid itself kind fell short unless china was banking on the overreaction of other countries to this as the main effect of covid in which case it was pretty devastating
No, it was totally bio-engineered. One of the big universities and Georgia (I no longer remember which one) holds a patent on a portion of the virus. They were the ones who originally developed it. Then it was shipped off to china.
Some big researcher did a video and a paper on it, showing everything.
Its Duke and what are the odds that the lady helicopter pilot, Rebecca Lobach that ran into American Airlines 5342, father is, David Lobach, a doctor at Duke and in 2013 the Duke Wuhan Lab partnership was created.
Ive been taking the horse paste any time i get the sniffles now. It’s basically harmless s and it might work. The government banned nac when covid hit. A supplement i had been taking for years was suddenly dangerous. Amazon has it again. I have almost zero doubt it probably saved lives and thats why they banned it.
I use a different formula that's made your regular livestock and is liquid. I've used it for years, primarily for livestock but for me as well on occasion. Now I've got access to pills again (though they come from India). I have some friends from South Africa (they left when things got too crazy) who have good sources on it.
Everyone in Africa takes Ivomectin, and they take it often. The place is chock full of parasites and blood borne diseases. Few people know that ivomectin was invented for people.
"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way."-FDR
On a Sunday in March of 2020 Ohio convened an emergency telecom meeting of all pharmacists to forbid them from filling prescriptions written by doctors for a generic antiviral as a prophylactic and treatment of C19. Nobody yet really knew how to treat it but they were forbidden from even trying unapproved methods, that's the morning I lost all faith in our government and decided whatever was happening was happening on purpose and they didn't care how many died if it would drive Trump out of office.
Multi purposeful. Money printing to cover up the recession. Mail in ballots to steal the election. 2 birds with one stone! Heads globalists win, tails normies lose!
I believe the Chinese Communist Party released Covid-19 to quell the Hong Kong protests. Remember the seas of Hong Kongers (not to be confused with our own Donkey Konger) waving American flags?
That and because they knew Trump was a germophile (which people seem to have forgotten - he was very phobic over germs, though maybe not anymore after how they used it against him).
I believe the car was still a kilo underweight after they replaced the nose with a fresh one. They simply ran too little fuel for the efficiency of their PU at the maximum prescribed fuel flow, and didn't leave enough left after draining the sample for analysis. And they benefitted from the lower weight the whole race.
Thank you. Sometimes I realise how much more complicated f1 is than it seems watching and what the other 600 people in the team actually do - like now!
The 16 car finished the race with 2.0 liters of fuel on board, a liter more than is required for post-race fuel sampling. Once the 2.0 liters were drained, the car was a kilogram light. While the car needed to weigh 800 kgs without fuel, Leclerc's car finished the race weighing as much as one operated by engineers who got their figures right.
A truly civilized society would cut their heads off and them on pikes as a reminder to future generations that you just don't do certain things. Our society will play at being civilized, thus dooming future generations to repeat mistakes that will cost untold lives.
I was thinking this exactly... all the damage done... the scale of it is incomprehensible... and whether it was incompetence or malfeasance, those responsible will likely never face any consequences... most Americans are "just glad it's all behind us"......
As I mentioned before, after 9/11 nobody from the Clinton or Bush administrations, intelligence community, or FBI was criminally charged or even was fired.
If they bring back the HEMI, then they better damn well fix that cam issue once and for all from that 2009 VVT redesign. Probably wont though, because Stellantis wont want to spend the money on a (slight) redesign of a redesign.
And no, it will NOT wind up in the Charger. I hate to say it but Jalopnik is right about this one. Doesn’t make sense.
Yes, one of the two. Danio could speak better to this than I could, but one has to do with the exhaust manifold bolts, the other one is the lifter banging off the cam, which is a result of 2009 revision. That should be fixed.
Hate replying to myself. But I read a little bit about this the other day and I think there was a tax structure advantage they are using. Something about their 15% tax rate on capital gains vs normal business tax rates.
I am not a tax expert. Someone smart fill in please
It’s complicated and depends on the structure. C corp dividends are 20% + 3.8% for rich people. It could be a partnership where distributions are tax free. You pay tax on profit and you get what is called basis for certain partnership debt. They borrowed money to pay themselevs. Real estate clients do it all the time with the goal to make money in the future. I wouldnt say im a fan but this isnt new.
I didn’t receive a bonanza due to tarp. In fact I’ve never owned real estate. I was trying to buy an incomplete new build in 2009 but I didn’t have the cash as I was less than a year out of college.
In fact I was holding FAZ as it was unfurling but I sold too soon.
I wonder why none of the whiners on here ever note that two domestic automakers were bailed out at the time (and that the taxpayers were hosed to no end on those deals).
I worked on many of those auctions, which were Modified Dutch Auctions, personally, so I know that most of them were quite competitive, particularly as time went on!
I wish I could remember the details, but I was on an investor call with WAMU before the end and they lied through their teeth about being hedged against exactly the risks that brought them down.
RE: the Hemis…
It’s cool that they’re coming back because V8 and sound good, but they’re quite ancient aren’t they? Like the 5.7 has been around in more or less current form for decades at this point. Why WOULD anyone go for that over the blown six? Noise? Is that it?
6.4 I think there’s more of an argument for still, but I’m genuinely not quite sure of a purpose for the 5.7 in the Charger. Makes some sense to throw them back in Grand Cherokees though, and also whatever replaces the Durango in 2037 when they finally get around to that.
Noise matters a lot to buyers in this segment but the 5.7L Charger could also be priced under the 420hp Hurricane version.
I also don't think the 5.7L is necessarily maxed out. It was rated at 395hp in the Ram with an 89 octane fuel recommendation (the SO Hurricane recommends 91).
I don't think pushing it into the 400+hp range would take much effort but it probably doesn't make sense with the 392 already available.
Ancient, sure, but the sort of folk who buy these cars want a V8, and that 5.7 is both time-tested and rather versatile within the lineup. The motor sold well in trucks and cars, and if it ain't broke there's no reason to fix it (other than to force customers to eat their veggies).
Considering what the modern automotive world has to offer, I’m totally fine with bringing back the ancient one.
The “ancient V8” is a feature not a bug.
Take me back to 1965, when the Corvette had *six* different V8 options.
five flavours of 327 and a 396
shame we cant get that many varieties now though i think most would tend toward either the top or bottom spec
personally id take the fuelie
I’ve got the 350hp L79 in my 65 coupe and it’s a wonderful engine.
And this includes the new Hurricane itself, I am fully on board with bringing back the Hemi. And chopping an easy 1.5-2.0" out of the monster truck ride height. Holy Wheel Gap, Batman.
Along with the standard stepladder required to get aboard!
Silver's coilovers will probably take care of that hideous wheel gap
Becasue an unstressed NA V8 feels different than a blown 6
This. And also turbos tend to go bad every now and then, even though the manufacturers claim that those are not wear items.
I hope this means the Charger loses its one-ton battery pack and goes back to being merely Curvy instead of full-on BBW.
It is odd that they made the new one so much longer than the old one.
It wrecks its looks nevermind how it affects maneuverability/handling.
Another car that looks great - back to the B-pillar.
This Charger looks like a '68 that got a promotion and couldn't make it to the gym after work anymore.
To me it still looks like three different people styled the front, middle, and rear sections, then it got mashed together during a Friday night drinking session.
On the back of a bar napkin!
that's what my ex-wife said to her new husband.
hey-oh!
"Except it isn’t. I’ll gladly lose some resale..."
I totally agree. My preference is to keep buying new V8 cars until my spirit leaves the Earth.
Regarding Yuki...
ACF has made me quite the fan of Yuki Tsunoda, but now it's going to be a serious case of be careful what you wish for as he not only gets to start in the RBR, but gets to do it in front of his HOME CROWD! Needless to say this is a pressure cooker of pretty epic proportions for anyone, and I really hope that Yuki can get a handle on the 'pointy' RBR and at least get out of Q1 to showcase he's worthy of the opportunity.
I'm also scratching my head wondering how else Ferrari can cock things up for themselves after last weekend. Just when I thought they were on their way after the sprint race, they still found a way to shoot themselves in both feet. Ouch.
He has nothing lined up for 2026. Honda can't move him anywhere as in 2026 they only supply AM with Honda engines. Lance ain't leaving and Alonso has a contract for 2026.

You are correct. A "Victory" in Japan would be starting 15th or higher. But, what about Lawson, RB and Yuki's empty seat? They put Lawson in that car? What if Lawson nails it in Japan and Yuki is at the tail end? Put them back the way they were?
Lawson won’t go back to Red Bull. They almost never revert (Albon, Gasly, Danny Ric) unless they are forced to at the top team.
If Yuki struggles badly at Red Bull, the team will look bad, period. He can potentially go to Cadillac, I suppose.
I can just see the whole season being Yuki and Lawson switching back and forth between RB and Red Bull seats.
If I was RB, i'd give Hadjar to Red Bull, block Helmut Marko's number and then set about beating Red Bull in the Manufacturer's championships
All of the teams run super close to the margins now on the plank and weight because F1 competition is so tight. Ferrari got bitten.
I don't think it is a secret that Ferrari was slow in Australia after being fast in preseason testing because they had to raise the ride height to make their cars legal. Come China, and suddenly Lewis Hamilton wins a sprint only to get caught the following day. I doubt this had anything to do with what the other teams are doing.
Ferrari's Chinese fiasco will be nothing to what happens when Lewis find's his feet and the 'team orders' squabbles start.
When Hamilton started whining after the Sprint Race how people just don't understand how hard his life is now I was done.

Amazingly, he'll still be a rookie.

It's hard for me to square "Dallara/Ferrari" with "the real American team."
Dallara does have a significant facility in the Indianapolis area, where they build Indycar chassis.
Giampaolo Dallara has quite the CV. Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, and DeTomaso before starting his own company.
I first read that as “Hobbycar chassis.” Maybe that can be their next rebrand.
I recall seeing some local news thing about it being run out of the new Andretti facility in Fishers but I could be mixing things up.
From what I've read, one of F1's conditions on accepting GM's entry was that the Andrettis could have nothing to do with it. One might think that having a team with the name of a former driving champion might mean something but Jack says that the Europeans have disdain for Michael Andretti.
Looks like both teams share a parent company called TWG, and TWG decided to make the 96th and Hague facility hold the F1 team instead of Andretti. They'll also build parts in England and use a wind tunnel in Germany. https://1075thefan.com/538195/cadillac-f1-to-build-formula-1-cars-at-fishers-headquarters/

it got even better when they let people wear masks made of tshirt material
i doubt anyone washed theirs
And they are still wearing the cloth ones.
ew.
A lady that I work with would pull hers down to sneeze or cough.
I started to have some doubts about their effectiveness.
is she responsible for anything important
i sincerely hope not
You wouldn’t feel better if I told you.
this is one of those times where ive finally learned to not ask questions i dont want the answer to
I particularly liked the videos of Chinese people collapsing in the streets. Who made that and why?
one way to curb the insane population of china
more than the one child policy i mean
China needs more population. Although they supposedly have a youth unemployment problem as well.
im not advocating for death and genocide but im fine with there being much less than a billion of the people that destroy ecosystems and are trying to become the largest superpower
China’s demographics are terrible. So are Russia, Japan and S Korea, and Europe, and…the US. But China has big problems.
im okay with china having big problems
Won’t argue with you on that. We somehow take it for granted that commies won’t commie, and we (the west) will be wrong.
There is one really good way to balance the imbalance of more males being born in China but we wouldn’t like it.
a one child policy but the other way
The purpose of GOF research is to make biological warfare weapons. Period.
It was outlawed in this country, and the penalties were severe but guess what? The Patriot Act has a little section in it that allows for it.
Still, they had to move it offshore because they were worried about possible jail time.
As for china, china has a history of its biolabs losing containment on stuff. The larger question should be: Was it an accident? Or was it on Purpose?
a purposeful accident
china screwing up so badly they infect the world isnt the most unrealistic possiblity so an engineered virus that just *happened* to get out is a pretty good cover story
The thing is, it's an incredibly easy disease to cure. Just take some ivomectin, or a number of other cheap, over the counter, drugs. All of which they tried to ban and told everyone didn't work or wouldn't work.
Notice nobody in the government got it or died from it. Cause they took the ivomectin.
or for those who were seen getting an injection they got a saline shot or something entirely benign yet visually indistinguishable from the actual shot
but yeah the govt gets all the good stuff
It’s possible it was not bio engineered at all. IE it was just the flu with a marketing job. I remember my thanksgiving 2019 cold/flu being awful.

I think for fear mongering purposes, governments also aren’t comfortable with the idea that bio weapons are not effective against anyone with a healthy lifestyle, ivermectin or nicotine.
doesnt anthrax fall under bioweapon though
as a weapon covid itself kind fell short unless china was banking on the overreaction of other countries to this as the main effect of covid in which case it was pretty devastating
Anthrax is not contagious. Any deadly contagious disease can’t spread.
My feel is that China and some Democrat power players were complicit in the lab leak. As they both stood to gain from removing Trump.
i think youre right on that part
No, it was totally bio-engineered. One of the big universities and Georgia (I no longer remember which one) holds a patent on a portion of the virus. They were the ones who originally developed it. Then it was shipped off to china.
Some big researcher did a video and a paper on it, showing everything.
Yes I remember. Cold virus with HIV inserted or whatever. I’m also an HIV->AIDS skeptic. That was the real trial run for this scam.
I knew too many people who died of AIDS to be skeptical about it.

That and because they knew Trump was a germophile (which people seem to have forgotten - he was very phobic over germs, though maybe not anymore after how they used it against him).
It's not just China. We have a history of losing containment as well
For every failure here, China's had like a hundred. They are on a scale all of their own.
Brookfield, huh? Nice to see that our new Prime Minister knows how to make a buck.
F1 - silly question, does anyone happen to know what a vertical stabiliser thing on a f1 front wing/splitter weighs? That isn't the missing 1kg is it?
I believe the car was still a kilo underweight after they replaced the nose with a fresh one. They simply ran too little fuel for the efficiency of their PU at the maximum prescribed fuel flow, and didn't leave enough left after draining the sample for analysis. And they benefitted from the lower weight the whole race.
Ah, ok. So the weight check is after repairs, not as the car was run? Thank you, did not know that.
Ferrari put the new nose on hoping it would make up for the shortfall, but it didn't. If the car has made the weight, they wouldn't have bothered.
Thank you. Sometimes I realise how much more complicated f1 is than it seems watching and what the other 600 people in the team actually do - like now!
The 16 car finished the race with 2.0 liters of fuel on board, a liter more than is required for post-race fuel sampling. Once the 2.0 liters were drained, the car was a kilogram light. While the car needed to weigh 800 kgs without fuel, Leclerc's car finished the race weighing as much as one operated by engineers who got their figures right.
I believe the end plate weighed 200 grams.
At any rate, it was replaced with a new / undamaged nose for weighing.
Thank you.

I am not a tax expert. Someone smart fill in please
It’s complicated and depends on the structure. C corp dividends are 20% + 3.8% for rich people. It could be a partnership where distributions are tax free. You pay tax on profit and you get what is called basis for certain partnership debt. They borrowed money to pay themselevs. Real estate clients do it all the time with the goal to make money in the future. I wouldnt say im a fan but this isnt new.
The taxpayers STILL have not thanked Wall Street (and Main Street!) banks for the bonanza they received from TARP.
If you don’t like the terms or the business itself, then go short JPM, et alia.
If you know a bank with a particularly large percentage of its loan book being these deals I will take a look at the options chain.
JEF is the bellwether of leveraged loan risk, typically.
They printed a shit quarter today, coincidentally.
I didn’t receive a bonanza due to tarp. In fact I’ve never owned real estate. I was trying to buy an incomplete new build in 2009 but I didn’t have the cash as I was less than a year out of college.
In fact I was holding FAZ as it was unfurling but I sold too soon.

$15BN+ profit for taxpayers in addition to the INESTIMABLE value of, you know, being able to go to the ATM and withdraw cash every day thereafter.
We only had print 3.5 trillion in QE to turn that 15 billion profit. And lower the FFR from 5.25% to 0%.
Fed vs. Treasury
I wonder why none of the whiners on here ever note that two domestic automakers were bailed out at the time (and that the taxpayers were hosed to no end on those deals).
We used to talk about that all the time
I've been buying American ever since then- as in Honda Ohio, Honda Alabama, a Buick from Delta Township, Michigan.
I’d like to thank Henry Paulson for what he did to the value of some WAMU stock I had.
Won’t someone think of the banks
RE TARP: If there’s only one bid the terms are going to be very favorable to that bidder.
Guess what?
I worked on many of those auctions, which were Modified Dutch Auctions, personally, so I know that most of them were quite competitive, particularly as time went on!
WAMU?
WAMU failed and was acquired by JPM before TARP existed.
I wish I could remember the details, but I was on an investor call with WAMU before the end and they lied through their teeth about being hedged against exactly the risks that brought them down.
Still waiting for my dividend sherman.
