We need to stop bailing these companies out when they make stupid decisions. This decision is going to cost the taxpayers.

EV Charger owners can also apparently turn off the “Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust” to run more or less silently, which seems of the opposite of why anyone would buy a muscle car in the first place.

My first vehicle was a 1973 Chevy C10 pickup with a 350 ci engine and a 4 barrel carb on top. After replacing the exhaust system with headers and Cherry Bomb mufflers, it became the only loud vehicle I ever owned. Fun at first, annoying from then on. Especially on long trips.

Union bosses are all in for Kamala Harris. Union workers are all in for Donald Trump.

The Union Bosses know who their real masters are, and work to please them.

“The exhaust system on the concept Charger, which [Dodge CEO Tim] Kuniskis said is as loud as a Hellcat engine, pushes sound through an amplifier and tuning chamber located at the rear of the vehicle. He compared it to a wind organ with chambers and pipes.”

So, it’s the Milli Vanilli of EVs? 🤔

They should go ahead and paint them all pink while they're at it.

Same with Harley D.

Anyone remember the Ford Mustang during the 60’s - 60’s? We had the Muscle version and then went to the 4 cylinder Mustang.

The only electric-powered ‘muscle car’ is the ones like I used to play with in slot racing.

They’re doing the same thing to RAM trucks, getting rid of the V-8 and replacing with twin turbo straight 6. I don’t want to hear a whine of a turbo, I want to feel the rumble of the V-8. I predict truck owners will opt for a 2500 with a V-8 or diesel before a twin turbo, at least I will.

Yeah, we've been here before.

And in related news:

“Ford Cancels Plans for Electric SUV”

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ford-cancels-plans-electric-suv-122700042.html

“Ford Motor is canceling plans for a large electric sport-utility vehicle and expects to take $1.9 billion in related special charges and write-downs, as automakers continue adjusting their EV plans because of softer-than-expected demand.

The Dearborn, Mich., automaker this spring said it would delay plans for an electric three-row SUV by two years to a 2027 release date. On Wednesday, the company said it is scrapping the model altogether, citing tough pricing pressure as automakers resort to aggressive discounts to move their EVs.”
