Re: [Chrysler300] The 392 Hemi

Hi Jim,

Be Careful!

I test drove the 2006 SRT (6.1L) and determined that I would either be in the hospital or in jail!
That's why I drive the 5.7L 300C.

I have just ordered a 2014 "letter car", or what should be:  The SRT 300.  It has the 6.4L HEMI (392).  I will give you my impressions as soon as I can drive it!

Guys,

  I know there are gear heads out there more in tune to what is happening in the motor world than I.  AND in a nod to the internet, I have done some searching, etc, but wish to gather some ideas from those whose opinions I value more than the "unknowns".

  The new 392 cu. in. V-8 by Chrysler is obviously different than the 392 of 1958 300-D vintage.  With the aluminum heads and cast iron block, how are the new engines over the long haul for maintaining the seal?  Different expansion ratios and all that.  Early efforts seemed to guarantee a head seal leak sooner or later, but I am told the new gaskets are developed to where that is a thing of the past.

  Next, does anyone own and drive a new Dodge Challenger SRT8 with the 392?  If so what are your impressions?  I have test driven one, like what I felt, etc, but obviously did not get to really get "into" it for the test drive.

  Much thanks for your considered opinions.  I am hoping to add to my store of knowledge and make a considered decision in the next very few days.
