but i ran an srt8 jeep and actually didnt get raped. we took off from a roll and he walked me hardcore from the start but i started gaining, not much mind you, and he only got me by about 3 lengths...we only raced to like 100 or so
anybody have any opinions?
i heard they only run slow 13s so idk
i thought maybe he was just messing with me...

srt8 jeep?

exiged

there pretty cool cars. dont know what they run but i dont mind them

panama08

yeah its a srt8 cherokee...its awd and its the big hemi thats in the charger...

syP

i dont doubt it.


I dont know your mods but im sure a s2 cobalt would fair well against it up top

Zander916

Sounds right....

I hate those things myself. Just a personal preference but I just don't like (or understand) why it's cool to have some big fat ass to be fast. Like the RAM R/T10s and Ford Lightnings and stuff.... Just my opinion...

bc u can haul ur cobalt ss/sc to the track on a trailer. Run a high 13 and break a damn axle and then take ur jeep and run a mid 13, hook up to the trailer and head home... lol

they can be pretty bad ass. from a stop it would be complete rapeage. once you take away the traction disadvantage from the cobalt, it can compete with cars much quicker than it. in other words, your car may run mid-high 13's, but that's most likely due to not being able to get off the line fast. take that traction problem away, and you can keep up with cars that are faster in the 1/4.

Exactly. I've been raped by cars from a dig to to junk traction but do a roll and I win or compete. Pisses ya off

they are piglits

Have you ever driven one? They are awesome, well except for the Ram SRT10 I didn't really care for it. Having a big vehicle that halls ass and can hall other things is cool. I had a 04 Lightning and I had more fun with that truck than anything I have now and it was bone stock. Plus with a few very minor mods it could spank every Cobalt on this site. I have driven numerous SRT8 Jeeps too and they are a blast and ride and drive very nice.

You need see the look on someone’s face when you blow there doors off in a truck or SUV to understand why it’s cool.

Actually no you can't, the SRT Jeep and Ram can't tow anything. The Lightning is still the only performance truck that you could actually tow with.

boostaddict

lightning ftmfw!! I love those trucks

leadfoot

lightnings are insane.

D4u2s0t

piglets? you don't know much about them then. a stock srt8 jeep is faster than 95% of the cars on this site.

coopn8r

I wouldn't say 95%

D4u2s0t

i would. srt-anything is going to be fast.

the srt8 does 0-60 in the high 4 second range. very basic bolt ons will put it in the 12's. a good driver will be low 13's stock.

from a stop, the srt-8 will make just about every single person on this site look silly, with the exceptoin of a VERY select few. give the srt-8 bolt ons and tires and there's maybe 3 people on this site that would beat it in the 1/4

SS4EVER

Umm let's not forget the Trail Blazer SS. Remember that comes with a hitch & it has a 6,000lbs towing capacity...

04YellowGT

I said truck not SUV. Plus I don't consider the SS very much of a performance SUV. Its quick and all but it still cant hang with a Jeep or a Lightning.

IMO Lightning>SRT Jeep>SRT Ram>SS TB

I've drove all of them and almost bought a SS TB but just knew I wouldn't be happy if I bought it knowing how much better the Jeep was.

SS4EVER

And that you did... Sorry...

By far the Jeep Grand Cherokee is more performance oriented than the Trail Blazer SS. It does 0-60 a whole second quicker. But what Dodge gave it more in performance it lacks in practicality. Again like the SRT-8 not being able to tow anything. I've ridden in both the SRT-8 & Trailblazer SS and holy crap did the SRT-8 feel like you were getting **** raped by the ground. Suspension was very stiff. In fact the Trail Blazer SS is pretty soft in comparison, but definitely not as fast and I could feel the difference...

maybe 0 to 60 a srt8 cherokee will outrun a ss/tc, but from a roll it would be a drivers race. Test data shows 0 to 60 in 4.7, BUT quarter mile at 13.4 @ 102

last I have seen a ss/tc will run higher mph than that stock, as a few guys on this site have touched 104 stock, add in aeordynamics, and take away the awd advantage, which becomes a disadvantge at speed and I would go with the ss/tc from a roll.
