Absolutely unreal!! And I thought my Corsa sounded great. Plus, 1.6 60' on a wet track; are you kidding me?


I know our Jeeps will capable of matching that; the question is, will we have to wait 3-7 years??

Built 408 w/blower. Before the 408 it was just a bolt on 360 that ran a 11.33 @117mph. He is supposed to be going to a 1/4 mile track soon and running at least a 75 shot of nitrous on top of what is already there. I will post a video when it is done.

Impressive but ugly. Don't care how fast she is, if I'm not attracted to her I'm never gettin' inside.

Respect your elders! LOL... That 5.9 was the original fast Cherokee. They may not look as pretty as the new SRT but maybe he would be willing to paint the rear end so you would have something nicer to look at when you are loosing ;) Really, what vehicle 8 years ago looks as good as the newer version today?

I'd take it home! He can have my Laredo lol.

Nice runs. Crazy to see quick Jeeps like that.

Its nice to see a hot rodded ol' school Jeep, but give me the slower SRT8 anyday.

Is it me, or does the chassis twist because of the insane amount of torque?

It does.. They are going to be working on that situation soon enough.

Yeah, when I had most of the basics for mine I ran a 13.9 @98mph. If I had done the heads/cam and a couple of other things at the time it would do quite well. I had a APS TB, Ignition Package, Reflashed ECU, Headers, 3" straight exhaust, APS hi stall, and a couple of other things. The M1 helped alot but I never got to run it with that. Had heads/cams/roller rockers coming but never put them in.
