A FAST SUV is a paradox in my opinion both have plenty of room but the jeep has a lot more. I would love to have one as a winter car and the V as the summer.
They're automatic need I say more? (Unless you have to deal with traffic all day)
Haha all said and done though it is a goregous suv and you can make them super fast just depends which vehicle best suits your needs!
Traitor *cough* haha just kidding!

Land Rover has a 510 hp supercharged version... but as already mentioned all that horsepower in an SUV seems scary at best, unless it's focused on the torque end. I read in the specs that 0-60 was 5.1 sec and 0-100 was 12.6 and the 1/4 mile a 13.7. These are scary numbers for an SUV.
I looked at a left over in Albany this past week and was scared away by the $98,000 + price tag... could buy a new V built to my specs for that plus have a pile left over for mods

badass inside and out, quick and look great..............but i hope you like being at gas stations becuase they get 12-15 mpg and thats highway mileage too. Not something i was happy with when i was looking. Throw the LS2 from the TBSS in a SRT8 and you would have the perfect SUV IMO.

I drive a company vehicle so the gas mileage is not an issue for me. My caddy just sits in the gArage all week til the weekend and even when I do drive it it's just to the beerstore and back home. Lol
I went this morning to test drive it and it had already been sold. I guess I'll wait til I get back to Houston to test drive one. I'd like to keep it for a day or so to determine whether I want it or not.

i dont know what these people are talking about, "space" in an srt 8 
none for the passengers atleast lol. but its definitely not the "space" that makes the srt8 jeep so badass and we all know that, buddy with only a diablo tune and no cats went 12.75 @ 104.5 and its incredible fun as a dd. you cant go wrong with either though id say. Its true theyre dogs from a higher roll stock but after the tune it was a whole different animal, easily hangs with a stock LS1 on the big end with a mild handhled tune, and with the LTs just installed its gonna walk away from the same stock ls1 until about 140 lol

A friend of mines girlfriend had one and it was pretty quick. She took it to the track with him and embarassed his LS2 GTO. It only had an intake while the GTO had intake, manifold, and exhaust. She eventually got rid of it since it started having way too many electrical problems that the dealerships could not fix.

Yeah man, I'd keep the V. IMO, the V is the best all around car to have especially considering the power it has and still being able to average 19.4mpg (says my electronic indicator).
