Ok that's for a stock SRT8 Jeep. How many cars out there can do that?, and what are we pulling with 275/315 and lowered? I bet it's close to a G. I mean come on, there aren't to many sports cars doing that. Right......

An SRT-8 (Street and Racing Technology (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Street_and_Racing_Technology) V8) version of the Grand Cherokee debuted at the 2005 New York International Auto Show (http://wapedia.mobi/en/New_York_International_Auto_Show). Powered by a 420 hp (313 kW) version of the 6.1 L Hemi (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Chrysler_Hemi_engine#6.1), it also features upgraded Brembo (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Brembo) brakes, large dual performance exhaust with polished tips (exiting out the middle of the rear), Bilstein performance gas charged shocks and modified suspension components, Mercedes-Benz NAG1 (WA580) 5-speed transmission, unique NV146 transfer case, specially designed electronic all-wheel-drive system and interior and exterior updates. A drive shaft from a diesel application, fortified Dana 44 (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Dana_44) rear differential, and 11.2" (285 mm) wide Goodyear tires in the rear (10" or 255 mm in the front) complement the performance package. The sports tuned suspension allows the Jeep SRT8 to hold 0.92 g on the skid-pad.
A road test of the 2006 model by Road & Track (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Road_%26_Track) magazine yielded a 0 to 60 mph (http://wapedia.mobi/en/0_to_60_mph) time of 4.6 seconds and a quarter mile dragstrip (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Dragstrip) of 13.2 seconds at 104.1 miles per hour (167.5 km/h). Such numbers made the SRT-8 Grand Cherokee the fastest accelerating vehicle within the SRT8 lineup (which at the time included the Chrysler 300C (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Chrysler_300C), Dodge Charger (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Dodge_Charger_%28LX%29), Dodge Challenger (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Dodge_Challenger) and the now-discontinued Dodge Magnum (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Dodge_Magnum)), and second only to the SRT10 Viper among all SRT tuned vehicles. There is no electronic speed governor employed, leaving the top speed rev-limited (revving to redline in top gear) to 170 mph (270 km/h). [2

I’d be interested to know if they tested all rigs on the same 300 ft diameter skidpad on the same day within a few hours all with the sun out or all overcast. That’s probably all it takes to go from the tested 0.92 to their results of 0.87.
