People need to know that these engines also have torque management programming built into them.

Yup makes a huge difference. Jeep is sayin 75% torque just above idle which is still 350 lb ft.

HOLY CRAP. if this report/forum is to be believed, the 392 will be $70k+

The forum this is listed on claims the 27X code is for the 392. This is a Sport with dual tops and tow packages supposedly.
2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 to start above $70,000?
The hemi-powered 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 appears as though it will be priced in the mid-$70,000 range, we learned early Wednesday, commanding a premium of nearly $30,000 over an equivalently optioned Rubicon with the 3.6L V6. Combined, these add $3,365 to the sticker price of a '21...

Did anyone expect it to be less than 70K I mean a optioned out Rubi is over 60K so a Premium engine and I would almost bet some kind of guzzler tax.

I just priced one on Jeep's site as, it's now available to build.....starting MSRP is $73,500. There aren't a lot of options for it...and those that are available are generally accessories, more than options. Exterior, you can only select color, grille, tires, decals, rear tire HD hinge, & top. Interior, you can select windshield tie down, window storage bag, floor mats, cargo management & hard top liner. After that, there is now the "Dual door package" which is factory half doors (for $4400), Towing and/or smokers package. That's it.
I priced what I'd get HD rear tire, floor mats, hard top liner, cargo management, tow package. MSRP for $77,150.00. The dual doors, while I like them, I think $4400 is quite a bit steep...but it pushed is over $81k if I added that.
I must be out of touch, but I am shocked how expensive vehicle prices are now days. Both new & used vehicles are ridiculously priced. The JLU I priced in Rubicon trim was $55k and a Gladiator would be $57k.

MSRP is a always higher than what you should pay. I paid $5k under MSRP for my loaded Rubicon Gladiator from my local dealer and that was right when they were released.
If you knock $5k off the MSRP of your first price, it gets in the $67k range... and that's $12k more than I paid. Seems reasonable for a V8 IMO.

Doesn't change the fact that vehicle prices are ridiculous....

For sure, it's only going to get worse as the value of the dollar falls while the Government keeps printing money and giving it away. But that subject is for another thread.

That's quite possible, I'm sure the number of 392 Jeeps will be limited.

With last month's Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group merge, I heard the SRT division was almost immediately shut down. I wonder if the next move is to cancel vehicles like the 392 wrangler. Doesn't look like they would do it right away, but I could see it happening.

I do realize this. back when I sold Jeeps in 1998, they rarely had to haggle off MSRP. I know that's not the case now and that there is a little room...however, I do expect these will command a premium right up front, and will not be remotely surprised if it means MSRP+ for awhile.
I am still amazed that a new Jeep Wrangler can have an MSRP over $80k. As I said, back when I was selling Jeeps a full loaded Grand Cherokee 5.9L Limited was just about $40k....a fully loaded Sahara TJ was just under $30k.

I just pulled up an inflation calculator and that $40k in 1998 is equivalent to $64k in 2021 so the V8 Wrangler price doesn't seem that bad.

I'm getting really nervous about the 392. I can be counted on to make irresponsible vehicle decisions on a rolling basis, but this one feels different - more visceral. When it was announced, this was essentially my reaction:
