...but I think most Hemi fans just want a relatively simple, naturally-aspirated V8 that makes decent power, and they don't want the potential headache of forced-induction systems that add failure points and potential reliability issues. If the Hurricane engines prove to be regularly reliable for well over 100,000 miles, then many Hemi fans might be converted, but as far as I am concerned, the jury is still out on the V6.
