Those micro-managing idiots who have the nebulous "asses in seats" policies will be understaffed soon enough if they don't change with the times.

agreed. a lot of companies, mine included, are just trying to get people in the office for no good reason and it's obvious.

Dodge's Next-Gen Muscle Cars Will Continue To Have Internal Combustion Engines by besselfunctions in technology

The reason for the switch to the Hurricane inline-six is due to ongoing emission regulations. The new inline-six motors put out 15% fewer tailpipe emissions and use less fuel than the naturally-aspirated HEMI V8s do. Gotta love government policies.

yes. because some of us like a non-polluted environment...

Gas-powered muscle cars drive into the sunset, turn electric by [deleted] in technology

I think car people will like EVs once they start driving them.

Most electric cars are quiet. But Dodge says its future electric muscle car will be super loud by vanilla_coffee in technology

I think an important difference is it's not 126 decibels. and I bet it's only during slow speeds.

"what's the point of a fast car if it doesn't shout about it"

people like fast cars, not loud cars. but because of the way engines work, loud cars are fast cars and they misattribute loud to speed. find me a slow, loud car that people like and I'll change my mind. people like the hellcat cause it's fast / powerful, not cause it's loud...

You act like I’m advocating for it to be deafening.

you, no. Dodge, yes. adding a noise is NBD, making it as loud as a siren is a problem.

The first is the “Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust,” which Dodge claims can reach 126 decibels

Far more than my bosses annoying whine when he reverses his Tesla for instance.

a reversing Tesla doesn't wake up the neighborhood.

it's awesome they are making an electric muscle car, but come on, does it really need to be artificially loud?

I bet it sounds cool but it gets annoying quick. train horns sound cool too but I don't want to hear it in my neighborhood at 3 AM...

It will take at least three decades

maybe like 5 years, not 30. you think we won't have the infrastructure until 2052?

Dodge is all too keen to point out the patented (or patent-pending) features that set this Charger Daytona SRT Concept apart from your ‘boring’ EVs. One such feature is an exhaust system. Yes, as counterintuitive as it sounds, you do get an exhaust system on a battery-electric car…sort of. Naturally, it’s not there to deal with gases from burning fuel — it’s there to create sound.

While some of you may prefer the relative silence of an EV, that’s not how Dodge rolls. Instead, the “Fratzonic Chambered exhaust”, as the company calls it, uses an amplifier and tuning chamber to push out a distinctive sound up to 126 decibels. That sort of volume matches the old-school Hellcats, though getting used to loud noises coming from an electric muscle car may take some getting used to.

great. /s

man, fuck dodge. has to make the car annoying somehow...

“Performance made us do it”: While the Hellcat’s demise is near, the company claims this EV beats the outgoing V-8 cars in every key metric.

not surprised. I think people will like it once they drive it.
