Yes, they have two plugs per       RW> RW>> cylinder. One coil fires when the cylinder is near tdc, while an       RW> RW>> opposite coil will fire the 2nd plug when that cylinder is on an       RW> RW>> exhaust stroke.

Even a 5L Mustang can beat their Hemi powered       RW>Challanger...hands down.
