Ok so me and a buddy did a stop light race the other nights. He has a 04 Colorado (auto) with the 3.5l 5cyl and is lowered. My jeep is all stock AWD 5.2l. I preloaded to 2400 and waited for the light to turn. When i finally happend i came out of the whole really good for a jeep and he spun a little bit. When we hit 70 i was about 4.5 cars a ahead and slowly pulling. I thought it would be a better race then that. I have rode in his truck a few times and it seems quick....... SO yeah since i dont have my camaro anymore i got to post my slow races lol

nice kill but i had a zq8 5cyl colorado and out ran 2v gt's with it, just intake, i dont know much boutthe jeep but he needs a driver mod it seems, no doubt mine would run in the 9's in the 1/8

Those Colorados are pretty slow... I don't know about outrunning Mustang GTs in one, even if you could crack a 9.9. Which I doubt. Maybe an automatic convertible. I drove one before I got my Frontier ('05 V6/6spd), and the Frontier was definitely quicker.

yea listen to this even more pathetic, with my moms toyota sienna v6 3.0 quad cam, i beat a 4.3L v6 truck my buddy had.

it was great seeing his face as the huge fat mini van pulled about 1 car up to 100 on him.

I used to race my grandmom's '96 Taurus GL against my friend in his mom's old '95 Caravan 4cyl when we were in high school... slowest race EVER.

the Taurus won didnt it!?

He said he ran a consistent 10.1 in the 1/8. I never ran my jeep but it really is impressive for a 318. i really am debaiting on maybe doing some mods to the jeep for some extra hp. I have seen just longtubes and just cold air intake and some other random things really wake them up. I think would be badass to do a small cam and heads on it.

the v8 cherokee's can be pretty strong.

i saw a 5.9 cherokee with a turbo/nitrous that was running high 6's in the eigth.

i agree. the 5.2 and 5.9 are good motors. if i were you id start looking for a 360 to swap in. get some head work done, put a intake on it, and slap in a nice cam and itll really wake up. oh and your 46re will need to be beefed up to handle those awd launches .

nice win.

Irunelevens

No

Cya_Vtec

Yeah i looked into doing that and then i realized that there is only a 25hp diffrence from fatory. Which isnt ****. and the 318 cam and heads and intake is alot cheaper. So i think im just going to do that or i also am thinking about doing a LS1 or 2 swap on it when i get the extra cash. Oh and yeah my trans already slips a little on those hard lanches so its getting a tune up soon.

if you dont mind me asking, why'd you sell the Camaro?

Cya_Vtec

Well i just moved to north carolina from ohio and i had a job but it got all fucked up. And i have been unemployed now for 2 months and i have to pay rent. The SS was all i really have that was worth selling. I bought the jeep for my Fiance so i didnt want to sell that. really there is no jobs here at all so i dont know what im going to do. But yeah i miss my car alot it was my pride and joy.
