Driving home on sunday in my Grand cherokee SRT-8 and of course some idiot in a D-max is driving like a moron. He was pumping a good amount of smoke and seemed to be rolling pretty good, but he messed with the wrong cat. I passed him on the left, and I saw his cloud but I was at 70 so I let him go by and feel like a big man. At the light he gave me the nod. Whats he thinking? Well we both floor it and when I let off at 80 he is 10 truck lengths back. But the next light is red and he comes creeping at 30mph trying to get a rolling start and does. I figure he may get me for a while but no I blew by him again and by 80 he was about 7 trucks behind and dissapearing fast. Wish I was in my truck, I would have loved to see the look on his face when a truck with 22.5s left him . But it always seems when ever I run into guys that want to play I am never in my truck. But smoking them in an SUV is pretty fun, but smoking my dad in his Porsche Cayenne Turbo priceless.

 

Nice kill

I have been seein the SRT8 in your sig for a while now and I gotta ask, what is an SRT 8 charokee?

 

I gotta tell ya do an internet search. Their is not too many around. I have had ours for over a year and only have seen 3 others on the road. Its nice to not have to be rich to have an exclusive vehicle.
All it is is a Grand Cherokee lowered 1" Bilstiens all the way around, Brembo breaks, AWD, 6.1 Hemi (420 hp dumbed down for insurance reasons), 5 speed quick shift auto trans, some ground effects package, and 20" rims. 0-60 in under 5 seconds wet or dry, I cant recall the 1/4 mile time, but it seems all the #'s are different depending on where you find them. At the end of the day it is one quick fully stock ready to race suv.

 

A jeep cherokee w/ a 6.1L Hemi, and AWD I think.

Those jeeps are awsome, sweet kill bud!

 

good kill Rye!

so your srt-8 beats your dads 450hp turbo cayenne?

 

I watched a SRT 8 Grand race at the track.. Fresh off of the showroom floor, did only one pass 13.65. Not too bad for a SUV

Yes and he had the computer flashed at a local high performance shop, to right at 500hp. I still get him , the air bags, suspension, the awd system,all the electronics, make the Cayenne a heavy SUV. Also I havent found a way to have the Cayenne Turbo do a boosted launch, and at three times the cost of my Cherokee Im not going to mess with it.

 

I drove a Cayenne turbo with some electronic mods done ,and dyno,d at 550 hp ,When accelerating from standing start ,electronics take care of the added torque to save the transmission/driveline.
You can feel a delay when pedal it ,and it doesn,t give all the torque ,until its rolling and making speed .

Still its a fast suv,this one did 280 km/u or 175 mph
And braking was

Love to drive a Cherokee with a 6,1 L

Did any of you drove a Volkswagon Toureq with a V 10 TDI diesel and 313 hp ?
I drove 1 with a installed chip,and 400 hp and it was a blast,it did 150 mph .
weight is aprox 5000 lbs ,just like a Cayenne.
