Ah yes.........there it is, the FINAL argument of the die hard Mopar fan. What about Top Fuel, what about funny car, what about this or that. NEWS FLASH, not every person out there wants to, nor can run a blown alky burning HEMI to try and compete with the other brands.
Seems the aftermarket must agree with you though. After all, Mopar guys have the HEMI...........they must not need anything else
Monte, other than the N2O and NA people, which are competitive due to rules(rules lobbying is the only reason it's not all screws and turbos, let's be honest), people are fine running hemis. Heck, lots of bottom end stuff is hemi spec to use the well researched and available bearings. As you(and most other intelligent people) have said before, race stuff is race stuff, it's not GM/Ford/Mopar.

Probably just a few less than the last time anyone used a stock GM/Ford block for anything other than the tow rig
The nostalgia fuel guys have pretty much blown up all the old hemis and besides they have billet stuff now...for nostalgia.
