After Saturday's autox school, several national level drivers (which would not include me ;) ) did fun runs in both my Jeep and a new Shelby GT. The Shelby was on street tires in dry conditions so it was apples to apples.

5 highly skilled drivers swapped back and forth between the two vehicles over about 20 runs, and I was shocked to see that the Jeep ran essentially the same times as the Shelby. A 4800 pound brick should not be able to do this.

Now, if they only made rcomp tires in our size....

Here's a couple of pics of the Jeep doing it; the pic of the Shelby is from an event a couple of weeks prior...

Awesome!

Got to love this!

You should have seen these guys faces when they climbed out after running the jeep for the first time. They couldn't believe the times they were running. Total shock.

Nice, I love how the right rear is off the ground!!!
