I don’t see the point of driving that fast in a lifted Jeep on 35s with the steering response of a paddleboat.
Theres no point.

But you can have a fully functional crawler AND a fun street V8 in the same package.

4XE matches the Hemi for torque at 470ft/lbs, but is 375hp vs 470hp.
I'd assume the big deal is the location of that peak torque. 4xe at 3k and 392 at 4300.

I haven't seen a dyno sheet for the 4xe, but using some random site I found on google, the 392s got a lot more area under the torque curve. (These are computer generated dyno charts based on the factory ratings). Note, x axis's have different limits.

Who cares? My 3.6 does the speed limit just as fast and get there with less gas.

I am obviously not the target market for this vehicle.

I'll assume you are asking me? Answer is a couple. I have a 392XR built apparently awaiting shipping.

I really want them to make a 1000hp 180mph one just so the nerds get more upset lol.
Soooo.... thats a no. You will really enjoy it when you get it!
