Finally got the chance to see Fast and Furious last night (so outrageous its funny) and go figure on my cruise home a guy in a Jeep SRT8 pulls up next to me and immediately I hear a loud supercharger, cams, and exhaust.. I think ok this should be good, I knew they make good power stock but are heavy.

We hit freeway and he turns on his gopro, I honk it off at ~45 in second and my weight advantage plus him roasting tires gives me a car or so till 90-100 at which point he walked past me and had maybe 2 cars before he shut down at 120. gave each other thumbs up and parted ways. no clue how much power he had but i would guess ~80+ over stock easy, sounded mean! mods are in my sig.

side story: I am about dead even with a friends built LS with s252 on ~10-12psi and E85, drivers race (he made 347whp 296tq). EFR time? ha

 

nice, if he has exhaust, supercharger, cams, he's easily at 600+ wheel.

 

i ran what i assume was a stock one from 60mph to roughly 110. i put about a car on him with just GMS1.

not sure how they'd fair from a 40 roll.

good run! sounds like it was beast.

 

nice man, ya a stock one would be less fun ha.

vortech makes a kit to make it 560hp, add cams and exhaust and bam beast mode. not too cheap though.

 

Is it banker?

 

There's a unmarked police unit that rides around in one of these where i live. I know who I'm not running from...lol

 

yep.

 

I don't think anyone would consider a LS engine "built" if it cant hit over 300 ft-lbs at the wheels.....

 

built cobalt LS, im guessing you thought I meant the OTHER LS ha.

 

I can't tell if everyone in here doesn't know an SRT-8 has one cam or they magically switched to OHC and I never heard....

 

I does not compute...

 

Haha this is funny

Sounds like a fun time congrats.

 

-hmm... roasting the tires? it's AWD...hmmm. yeah, from a roll, they're a bit heavy- SC should have made up for that though. from a dig though, most likely would have killed you.

 

If hes roasting tires then hes a 10 sec Jeep. I ran a 10 sec jeep from 40mph, lost horribly. built engine and nitrous. pretty sure he didnt even use the nos.

 

didnt know they were AWD, regardless **** was spinning...hmmmmm (dafuq?)

he did kill me, i think he spun too much and is heavy so i got a little jump from 45-~90.

 

from what i saw yep thats likely. he knew what the result was going to be ha.

 

Was it maroon/red?

 

it was that real deep orange color i think, i am mildly color blind though ha.

 

my dad had one before he traded for the 300c srt8. from a dig yes he would pull on me, til about 60 then i would catch up and pull about a car on him, but thats it. those srt8's are quick for there size and if the guy you raced was supercharged and spinning tires, he most likely is pushing closer to 700+ whp. i dont think 600whp would roast tires.

 

you don't think almost doubling the wheel horsepower would spin the tires? lol

they probably only put down about 360 to the wheels stock.

 

it may, but all four tires? i dont know, evo's and sti's with that much hp wont spin tires from a roll...from a dig then yes.

 

What does a cam at freeway speeds sound like?

 

its possible it was converted to 2wd... it's not that hard to do.

 

^^^^^ ya that's likely. what idiot would do that? their whole advantage is AWD digs.

 

there is no point to swap AWD to RWD, unless they drift. which i doubt in a jeep. but there is a RWD jsrt8 doing wheelies somewhere i seen on youtube.
