"I'm so happy that Dodge is dropping the whole 'metric' engine displacement 
designations for this vehicle. They should do this for the Ram's as well.

392 cubic inches.."



And the inch is officially defined as??   If only they knew!

  Dear All,


  As you know to measure the approximately 10 000 parts for this car accurately 
and precisely, you will need about 100 000 individual measurements.

  Most of these will be done using millimetres.


  The capacity of the cylinders had been calculated, designed, and manufactured 
as 6.1 litres but recently this capacity has been expanded to 6.4 litres.


  And the petrol-heads can't stand it!


  Where's my "anti-metric" conversion chart?


  Cheers,
