Jeep Cherokee SRT8

Recommended Posts

Came up on a burnt orange jeep cherokee with FAT tires, (one lane rural highway) and noticed SRT8 badges and the awesome center exhaust. I passed him pretty hard, and gave it an extra grumble as I went by. He stayed behind me for about 10 miles until we came to an extended hill with an additional passing lane. I stayed put in the fast lane, and as soon as I saw him make his move I nailed it. All I can say is WOW. He walked away pretty handily up the hill. We got to 110 or so, and he slowed back down to 70. When I got back to my office I googled it (having never seen one) and the numbers are pretty impressive. Supercharger just went on my 'want' list.

yeah those are fast,awd.I think the 08 models are getting bumped up more hp 500.

 

shame you can't tune them though, they leave alot on the table... and I don't think you'll see 500hp in one anytime soon.. especially with Daimler-Chryslers current situation being unknown.. (and $4.00+ gas prices a couple months away)

Went to the track with a few SSS guys from this site real cool people and some nice trucks and good runs we meet up with a guy with a 2006 Jeep SRT8 and he was running high 12's low 13's and is getting a tune from B&G . So guess you can get a tune. and I suck at driving a standard 6 speed :( best time my R/C got was 13.8 @ 101.9 at 1200 feet above sea level
