Jeep SRT-8

[Koll]

Powered by a 6.1-liter HEMI producing 415 horsepower (85 more horses and 25 percent more power than the 5.7-liter HEMI-equipped 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee) and 410 lb.-ft. of torque, the all-new 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8's performance numbers include 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds, 0-100-0 mph in the low 19-second range, and 60-0 mph braking distance of approximately 125 feet.

welcome to like 2 months ago geez koll i thought you were better then that.

I love how the horsepower wars are coming back so strong. For those of us that missed the 60's by decades, this is incredible. AWD + 410 lb-ft of torque = There might actually be a Jeep that I would own. On a side note I dunno what size rims those are, but it seems like it needs a taller tire or larger rim.

whoopty ****ing-do. I'm waiting for the Trailblazer SS.

or....dare i say it.....Escalade-V?

[87droptop]

Depends on weight but it seems like the Jeep has the SS beat for now. An LS7 Escalade would work for me too.

do you really think they can special order it with the neon motor in it though?

I love the horespower war like 87droptop said. The only thing I wish is that they had more cars in this war than trucks.

That's an awesome SUV no matter the price. Whoever's hating on these vehicles needs to get their head checked. It's roomy inside, and can blow the doors off of a lot of sports cars on the road today! I'd say it's one bad ass vehicle even if it cost $1m I'd still like it. Obviously I wouldn't own one but you gotta be impressed on the performance and overall appearance of it. Would you rather drive around in a station wagon or that? Now if they turned the GTO into a wagon I'd probably say wagon... but for now, THAT... is one bad ass SUV. I also like the trailblazor SS, they both have similar side lines with the fender flairs.

I can't wait until we get one at work so I can prep it and drive it 8)

I didnt know that they made 20 inch IROC's that fit Jeeps?
Not a fan of the center exhaust....
TB SS vs SRT 8 Jeep...good battle.
Time for GM to step there game up on that cam.

As they sit, the SRT-8 Jeep would beat the TB SS 8)

#1- Dodge needs to dump the Hemi name, it isn't a true Hemi with Semi-Hemispherical heads...I guess it is a Semi-Hemi?
#2-It needs 2 sparkplugs per cylinder to meet emissions and still gets 16MPG highway WITH cylinder deactivation in the cars, can't wait to see the truck #'s. My buddy just dropped $48K on the 300C SRT8 and is already looking ot trade it in just because of gas mileage. He is averaging around 12 and I think it was rated at 18C 22H
#3- I own a Dodge truck I am ready to push intot he river, spend more time broken then running for front end problems.

I am not impressed with Dodge at all, their styling is hit or miss to the extreme, which oin this day and age of cookie cutter cars is actually nice to see and their quality is sub-par. SUgar coated in a fancy wrapper by Daimler, but subpar. IMO Chevy isn't far behind either, they build the best powertrain with the worst designs but I would probably buy one first. Sadly the best truck/SUV I've been in recently is a Toyota

Jeep has a lot more weight to it, plus its AWD only. TB SS has the option of AWD, but comes standard with RWD.
