Have you guys seen this?

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/off-topic/2206602-cherokee-srt8.html

See post #20 - guy talks about the TBSS outperforming the GC? I have no supporting data, didn't think they were even close - true? Someone is always doubting the GC aren't they? See my post on the 2nd page - same user name.

As you can see, I went from Vette to GC for family/weather reasons - v happy.

Later,

I started lurking on CF in 2004 wth my first C5 Z06, decided it sucked and moved on to DC. Its not as good as Digital Corvettes IMHO. I'm already over there arguing wth them.

Not to rain on your parade but the only reason you are seeing mpg's that high is because the PCM doesnt know you have bigger injectors. It calculates the mpg based off the stock injectors and what the PCM thinks is a normal flow rate.

lol... that thread is a MESS

"after 330 ft the tbss says goodbye to the gcsrt8" LOL

"the gcstt8 gets 8-10 mpg" lol

"the Grand Cherokee 5.7L Limited with a few mods is in the same neighborhood as the gcsrt8" ROTFLMAO

"trap speed of 115" stupid

"I have run one at the track, and on the highway. At teh track he was ahead till just past the 1/8, but had .2tenths on me at 60'. At the stripe I had him by a thenth The one on the highway I easily put a truck length on, but mine is 2WD so its a lil faster"
What a tool... did he forget to say hes modded and going up against stock gcsrt8s?

Good find SMASH... that thread is FUNNY sheeeeeeeeeeet

why does it seem that every other forum i see the members on it are clueless...? to me it just seems majority of the members on this forum are legit and very knowledgeable

Now come on guys there is no reason for everyone to sign up just to post on that forum one time. Besides a couple of us that actually are Corvette owners and use that forum already chimed in. It didnt look like a big mess to me infact a lot of the users in the Off Topic section dont even own vettes.

To shorestyle31, as far as the interior just like you said its all personal preference some may prefer light grey over black. I for one got the 08 because I thought the new interior is absolutely gorgeous.

I've been on that board since 8/00. Bunch of Zaino waxers. It's only good to sell parts IMO.
