It's been said before and it is kind of a silly "argument". While the Chrysler wedge was/is ia very durable and capable design, to compare the two is kind of ridiculous.

It would have been interesting if Ford had developed some of their max effort stuff to be more mainstream, like the SOHC and Boss motors. There was some real potential there and Ford had some dedicated people working there at the time that were very race oriented.

GM had the resources at the time to probably bury both Ford and Chrysler during that era and had some exotic stuff in prototype form, but because they didnt place enough emphasis on high performance/ max effort race stuff and were selling cars at a ridiculous pace, it never came to fruition. Why mess with success? The purpose of all of this was to sell more cars, so they didnt bother. It might have gotten more interesting if John DeLorean had more influence. And while they still managed to create some hot machinery, at the end of the day they dont compare to the Hemi in terms of max performance...

Let's just rejoice as fans of this marque that the hemi has the status that it has and earned. I like the line someone else posted earlier. No one ever looks at a Hemi and says, "too bad it's not a wedge"...that says it all...
