And a real 4by wrangler $30,000 and $10,000 at wooders thats a better package!
thats how i would spend it though.
Falcon said 5.1, but i havent seen many tests that back that up...

and fuel economy, might be 11.7, but not if you actually drive the car

The jeep is srt8 is a great car for someone who maybe has had fast cars, now needs one for going away, packing in the family, but still wants some excitment.. seems to me like a good all round package, not the fastest, but will still give alot of things a run for their money, not great of road, but a hell of alot better than a falcon , plus put 3 kids, a wife, and your gear, and go away, i know the jeep would be my choice over a family falcon

One of these ran a 13.05 at the 06 Mopar Sunday so this dude was obviously asleep at the wheel .Makes the subaru look sloowww. Btw it was straight from the dealer with the exhaust dropped

Sorry to dig this up but the SRT-8 are hitting 0-100 in less than 5 secs, 4.7 to be precise. How about a 7.0 Liter HEMI.

Why ZJ? Becasue we are Jeep LOVERS!

I've been tossing up on what to buy to tow my JK when I eventually put it on a trailer...

I WAS going to go for the SRT 300... but I think I just found my new baby!

It'll tow it, look sh!t hot AND its a Jeep!

Bring it!
