I also frequent the GCSRT8 boards and I have RARELY seen someone claim 12s bone stock and most are planted in the low 13s. Since I didn't disagree with your assesment of them taking 98% of the F-Bodies on the road I really don't understand your issues? Maybe a nice walk to sort things out and calm down would do some good here?
i have seen more than a handful say 12.8-9s stock...

i would go for a ride instead... but no i dont need to calm down at all.. just saying what im thinking...

i think someone recently crushed lemons in a roll race. Not everyone sets up their car to earn the title of "Kenny Bernstein of the streets" .. to some, it's just a hobby. I couldnt care less if im labeled as a real racer or not. Besides, im not sure what else you call two people lining up at 45 and mashing the gas until they hit 130 other than a race. Sure, it may not be a legit drag race, but it is a race. Die hard drag racers have their own section.. the track section.

no, no one crushed me.. i have thought that for quite some time.... roll racing is ****..
if your going to do a roll, go 10-15mph... not 30,50,60...
i call it exactly that... two people lining up at 45 and punching it till they hit 130... nothing more..

im not a die hard drag racer... i just believe roll racing is retarded, period.




side note, you honestly think there are many people that would crush my car.... real race or in a roll race?

Good kill Op. Car rolls out pretty nice. How hard does your car launch? If you Pull that hard on him, with a good launch you Should be chopping him down before 90.

By the way if you lookup mofobucs on youtube. In a few videos that have the second fastest jeep in the country down their running around until recently when the guy sold it. that thing is no joke.

P.S.
I don't roll... Ya Dig?

I started a thread specific on cherokeeSRT8 and ended up with one guy who was fibbing and 3 others who claimed it with no slips or anything else...

I am sure it happens, they are monsters out of the hole but I don't believe for a second that a majority of them run 12s.. I think their potential is being boasted a bit too much... that's all I am saying.

I've sat in one and love the interior...I would probably own one if the gas mileage was so horrible.

They really are a hot car. Thing is id have to be rich for one.

I'd either want it faster or id want more practicality.

They are extremely cool tho. Im glad other people buy them

i searched autotrader.. srt-8 cherokees within any distance for under 24K. the only one in the country listed was for 23,995 with 66,000 miles.. no pictures but im betting it wasnt even close to loaded. saying they go for 23K easy is bullshit.

O LOL

Well luckily I left room for error when I said 23-27k, and I found quite a few under 27k just on autotrader lol. Were you looking to buy one? Talk them down to 23k, economy is in the ******* anyway.

you can find decently mileage and condition one for 30k... from what i have gathered, but as he said... economy is in *******, and with their gas mileage, im sure they would drop thousands off..

but i wouldnt think you would understand a simple point like that with 1 post and joining this month....

was that sarcasm? you trying to be an *******? E-tough guy?.... your post had no point except to ask what my point was of my post, even though it was VERY obvious...

I could be completely off..I only visit a couple forums that are SRT8 specific... casual observation only turns up 1 or 2..some digging and I got half a dozen of them.

I wasn't looking to buy one, but i checked autotrader after you mentioned it just to see if you were right (i was in disbelief). i compared prices before i bought my SS.
