The term "Hemi" is over-hyped, is it not? Toyota'* mainstream inline-six since 1965 has been a hemi... you don't see people bragging about it

I hate the idiot on those hemi commercials...Other than the front, that car isnt too bad. On the interior I think I noticed a stick shift, and RWD is nice for performance. Seems like an extra 1.1 litres only putting out 40 hp is something of a waste...IMO they should slap a M112 or a turbo on the N*, but thats just me

A 3800 series2 */C will easily outrun the 300 hp Marauder, it only does 0-60 in 7.5. Not enough low end torque and too heavy. With safty standards increasing so are the weight of vehicles. Bonneys from the mid 90'* are quite light in comparison to many cars today.
