new-generation 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with a five-speed
automatic transmission that produces an estimated 370 horsepower
(276 kW) and 398 lb.-ft. of torque (540 Nm). For 2009, the HEMI
engine is upgraded to get an estimated five percent improvement in
fuel economy as well as an increase of 30 horsepower (9 percent) and
8 lb.-ft. improved torque (2 percent) over a greater range of engine
speeds. The automatic transmission features fuel-saving
