Following the great article on
Saleen this morning, I thought it would be nice to see the future of off-roading. How about that turning radius?
To: ProtectOurFreedom
The turning radius and the looks are all A1, I'd be able to live with only ONE Hemi though, thanks :)

Two Hemis? You'd have to turn the motors off at the gas station so it doesn't get ahead of the pump.

This vehicle is the ultimate proof of Jeep's absolute dominance off-road...there are no plans to turn the Hurricane into a production model
Hey we can be dominate, but we're not going to be...move along

Sounds good to me. But I wish I knew what a "Hemi" was.
:o)
To: ProtectOurFreedom
"How Stuff Works"The skid steer diagram is screwed up. The front wheels are working against the back wheels. The vehicle has to come to a complete stop and the trans shifted to do this. The steering mech also needs a tranny to shift from goofy to normal.

Hemi refers to the combustion chamber shape used on these engines as in hemispherical (SP?)

It won't be too long before that thing turns up in some action flick or other.

The new 5.7 liter Hemi V-8 is a much more fuel efficient engine than you think. In most applications, the engine utilizes MDS (multi-displacement system) that shuts off 4 of 8 cylinders when cruising to conserve fuel.
A Chrysler 300C, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Durango or Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.7 liter Hemi V-8 get fuel economy near that of a large 6 cylinder engine.

Then after that it will be on the open market.

An engine with a hemispherically shaped combustion chamber. Said design is more efficient that the "wedge" or polyshpherical (odd shaped or angular) combustion chambers. they have dominated racing of all types from 1951 to date.

I have a new Honda Odyssey that shuts off three of the cylinders when cruising. So far in town I'm getting 22 mpg in city driving which is pretty good for the large family truckster. Haven't tried it on the highway, yet. The shutting on/off of the cylinders is seamless too, with no associated noise, vibration or surge.

To: Uncle Fud
I had a Gremlin too. It kicked a** with the 232 cubic inch engine.

It's a painful, burning sensation...Johnny Cash had a hit recording about 'em...."Ring of Fire"
