The HEMI isn't around now, technically speaking ;)

It's carbuzz, don't trust anything by them.

Don't just about all modern gas engines have hemispherical combustion chambers? (LS and LT based motors excluded)

so that means hemisphereical combustion chambers are obsolete now?

Certain geometries are better than pure hemispheres anyway, cardioid pentroof stuff and all sorts of bendy swirly variations. The real point is, any variation on pentroof gets the benefits of the hemispherical combustion chamber anyway, so my Miata is a "hemi," though not a "Hemi," since that is still trademarked by Chrysler.

That's wonderful advertising.

In before Chevy doesn't have this problem with the Corvette.

Ummm.... so its really down to customer demand then, as long as SRT buyers don't start wishing for turbocharged four cylinder Challengers then the hemi is safe.

CAFE can be such a lark due to how its implemented, as long as Chrysler sells a bunch of fuel sipping cars and trucks to offset the mileage penalty of the hemi V8 cars and trucks (especially with trucks getting a different formula) then its not a big issue.

The lack of quench seemed to be the biggest issue with the classic hemi combustion chamber something they addressed with the modern "hemi" or well tried to at least.
