• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hemi commercial

SOH-CM-2016
I keep seeing this Dodge truck commercial which says the hemi was first tested in an aircraft. So I searched and sure enough, an inverted V-16 hemi engine tested in a P-47 which managed over 500 mph in level flight at 15k feet. It was never produced as the war was winding down. Info here quarter page down. What an air racer it would have made at Reno!!!
