presents three newly interactive historical timelines showing the
development of all versions of the Hemi engine, starting with the
legendary Chrysler FirePower Hemi in 1951. The development of the
legendary 426 Hemi that revolutionized NASCAR and NHRA racing is
featured in great depth, along with the new generation 5.7L and
6.1L Hemi engines. In addition, Web surfers will find vintage
photographs and biographies featuring the people who were behind
the most famous automotive powerplant in the world. "Hemi.com
documents how Chrysler's unique approach to high performance
created the great Hemis of the 50s and 60s, and how that heritage
applies to the new Hemi engines of today," said Ron McDaniel,
Chrysler Group Director of Advanced Service and Technical
Information. "We updated the site to include even more detail on
the Hemi story. Web site visitors will enjoy following the Hemi
through history as it establishes its legendary status in all kinds
of racing." New stories include the first-ever Chrysler Hemi
victory. It happened in 1951 -- in a NASCAR race in Detroit. More
race drivers are covered, and legendary crew chiefs are added.
Vintage photographs show early racing victories in stock cars,
sports cars, and boats. New galleries show 50s Hemi cars, 426
Hemi-powered vehicles, and racing cars and boats of all kinds.
There are more vintage ads in the Web site, and twice as many
rare-image wallpapers are available for download. Hemi.com is the
official Web site for Hemi enthusiasts.
