I will bring mine as soon as I get it! Tho, I'm at 3600 ft. elevation, so I dont expect to even come near to the advertised times of 13.4

I just did 2 runs with my G-Tech performance meter, my seconds run said 0-60 in 4.43 and the quarter in 12.9 !

I've used this G-Tech in other cars and it has always been surprisingly accurate, but still I want to verify these times somehow, but there's no proper dragstrips in my area.

Yea my g/f bought me gtech for my bday when i got my SRT4 the times didn't seem far off but the fact one pull i did it ended up in my backseat and then the damn thing did not pick up your rpm off the cigarette lighter like advertised were good reasons for me to send that back and she bought tint for my car instead.

BTW according to your pic that is a passport not gtech!

Do you have any performance mods?

yes, I installed Mopar Performance taillight guards, they add 35hp!
but it's not "bolt on" performance, it's "stick on".

I hope you're joking.

well you see it's not the guards themselves, but when you buy them directly from Mopar Performance you also get a jar of blinker fluid and super flux capacitors that increase boost pressure, thats where the power comes from.

I thought it was from the incredibly reduced drag coeficiant that it allows from its aerodinamicismness

I have read that the Jeep SRT-8 should be able to lay down a large patch of rubber with the traction control off. I read the manual regard traction control and how to turn it to "full off" mode, which is activated by holding the ESP button down for 5 seconds while stopped. I have tried this multiple times, in park, in drive while motionless nothing seems to be working. I only have 220 miles on it so perhaps it won't let you turn traction control off unless you reach the 300 mile break in period. I wanted to know if anyone had experienced the same issue or had any suggestions.

you cannot turn it off completely, if you read somewhere i believe in the owners manual it states that ESP cannot be completely turnd off, but it can be "detuned" so to speak so as not to fully be on

im hopeing in time someone figures out a way to give you the option of turning it on/off
