I stumbled across this thread from one of the MB sites while doing a google search. Check out the video first then read the thread.

It makes for some good reading. It's funny how all the excusses and explanations start to fly about why the ML63 didn't do better against the inferior SRT8. Reality sucks sometimes. My take on this is that both of these SUV's should match up very well according to the reviews I've seen so far. It seems like the ML63 driver screwed something up or the Jeep had some decent mods. Either way it's great to watch one of our own lay down the spank on yet another $80K + Euro SUV. :D Can anyone here stake a claim to this race?

Inferno - if you read the thread pay special attention to reply #28, it's right up your alley.

I'm pretty surprised by this, only that the MB costs so much more and doesnt really do anything to the Jeep. I think its funny how they say the MB should be faster. No ****?!?!? If the MB would've done what the Jeep did in the first video they would've been like " oh yea i knew it would've spanked it." But its good to see some of those guys giving props to the Jeep.

I can't wait to get my jeep finished and get some good race vids, Then lets see what they say.

I will say some of them have major respect for the Jeep. Others have no clue what the jeep consists of.

Yeah the majority respect the STR8 for sure. I thought it was funny that guy that said that maybe his X5 can keep up... yeah right... even the 4.8 will be dust. A friend of mine has a 4.8 and I walked him from like 30-70 and I let off.
