LATE NIGHT LIVE – CATCHING UP ON MOPAR NEWS & WHAT’S COMING THIS WEEK

EV Channels Review

This late-night Mopar discussion covers a range of topics, from upcoming industry events like the Carlisle Nationals to specific vehicle news and owner experiences. The reviewer expresses a strong preference for V8 engines in Dodge muscle cars, particularly lamenting the lack of a V8 option in the current Charger Daytona EV, despite acknowledging its comfortable ride and impressive acceleration. The discussion delves into the original naming and "eStage" kit plans for the Daytona, which were ultimately changed. The reviewer also provides an in-depth analysis of the Ram 1500 RHO's high-output engine, comparing its performance favorably against competitors and older Hemi engines, while noting its distinct sound profile. The conversation touches on the potential future of V8s, the durability of turbocharged engines, and the enduring appeal of older Hemi platforms, with a particular fondness expressed for the 2014 Dodge Charger RT AWD.
