for the money, I would have put it into a srt8 jeep. supercharged it and called it a day. Nothing on the road would beat you.
And at the end of the day, it's still a four door grocery getter. Don't get me wrong, they are bad ***. I wanted an American RWD car. I had a hard time choosing the GT500 over the Boss, but honestly.....it's my distance from a reputable tuner that keeps me from dumping a crap load of cash into mods.
Hey, congrats, Catfish.
I'll pile on the SRT deal though, sorry. A Jeep with a single turbo is very street friendly & will smoke anything it comes across.
the SRT Jeeps are fast, not my cup of tea. And reread my post about my location. People that have never been through this area just don't get it. People on the east coast can commute three states just heading to work. You'd be lucky to drive across ours in a day.
doesn't matter, it's still a Jeep.
With forged pistons, absolutely. I'm a big fan of turbo though, some guys prefer blowers.
We can Internet race all day. I wanted a rear wheel drive pony car. The SRT Chally doesn't stack up. The ZL1 camero is close, but GM burned me once and it won't happen again. The GT500 is traction limited. A tune, pulley, intake and these cars produce over 700 at the tires. Smoke city. Drag radials bring in some impressive times in the 1/4.
But let's put some perspective on this, it's not a race car. It's a fun toy for me to enjoy. Kinda like guys that like to jump on a bike and ride. I can hit the twisties to the south of us or pull hard on those long 25 plus mile long straight aways in the middle of nowhere. I have no real interest in beating the dog **** out of this car or any car. If I was into racing, I would have bought a Nissan GTR......but how American is that?:sFl_america2:
and I still bet it's cheaper to get my car into the 9's than the Jeep. I may be wrong, but that Jeep has what, 1200 pounds over the Shelby? What's it take to get 5000 plus pounds into the 9's? 900 HP? 1000? With the stock axles front and rear? This is all moot, I shared a picture of a car I have dreamed of owning for sometime. Squirreling money and eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for......I refuse to let you piss in my punch bowl. Even if it is a Ford. LOL
