Last night my brother in law was talkin **** saying his 06 M5 would kill my 08 GC SRT. Well Well...after 5 races his punk ass smile was wiped off his face. I would have 2 cars on him before his **** woke up and he could never catch up. He tried changing some of the 16 adjustment he can supposedly make and it didnt really do much. I only have a k/n drop in, res delete and Eibachs for performance. im just waiting for the vortech cause im at 3700 ft altitude and figure this will be the best way to go for me in the long run. These Cherokees are awsome. I really thought he should get me with him being 600 pds less and 500 hp. :D

Great kill bro! Without a good driver that knows how to control the thtottle good we would win from a dig everytime. Those things dont have much torque either which is hard on such a heavy sedan. I think 3900-4000 lbs? That being said those things would eat us alive on a roll. They have some great top end! Again thank for the read and great kill!

Good job. However, I don't think that your brother in law knows how to drive. According to your mods, a stock srt-8 Jeep vs. a stock m5 he should have beaten you. According to tests the M5 runs 0-60 in 4.8 and the quarter in 12.7 in stock form which in turn should beat us. Again, I am only going by given tests not saying that you didn't beat him.;)

I was thinking the same thing. Those new M5's are pretty nasty. The M5 might need a driver mod....

Hey guys thx for the support....I went over this with him alot and he had it setup for the most aggressive driving you can. thats why he's so confused. He then started trying different things. I just posted as thats a pretty serious car and our jeeps really can hold their own and owners can hold there heads high.:D

Nice kill....when you raced him, was there any wheel spin?

He tried with and without some wheelspin....it was hard to tell as i always had about 2 cars on him from launch.:D

Great kill!!! I used to doubt a lot of these kill stories as well. However I have now put a few kills under my belt that I never expected to win. Since then pretty much nothing surprises me when it comes to kills.

From a dig up to 40 you should take him, but after that, he would fly past you. Don't even try to take one from a roll....the higher the speed, the worse for you. My brother with his M5 has never taken my E55 up to 100 where we shut down....Both of my Jeeps were beasts from a dig, but ran out of steam...AWD was great. That is what makes the GT-R so terrific.....AWD and the TT's = miles of smiles
