not sure about 15K.. but for probably 16-17 you could find one with cloth seats, RWD, and 40K miles.

Yes I do. I've been in several 750+rwhp DD-capable cars in this great state including a daily driven 8 second Mustang. All of them have the ability to run low 10's to mid 9's.....including my old Cobra. Guy around here with the exact same setup except larger injectors put down 721rwhp and ran a 10.41 @ 134 with a 1.67 60'

and one DD 8 second Mustang
well im at low 10s.. and drive 50 miles away...

i by no means think ill beat most serious raced DD cars.. but im by no means going to be "crushed" by a low 10-mid high 9 car... mid high 9 wouldnt be an awesome sight to see.. but i would be in the ball game still.....

8 seconds... **** that..

Do you have that low 10 second time slip? If not, you might wind up like 99_Z28.....

I feel ya. Prolly rather stick with GM since you already have one anyway lol. I know a few people are just like eh, damn chrysler products. Seem to be similar performance wise, I dont know a whole lot about em. Just seen one at a track and it rolled the **** out.

I prefer GM, but im not really brand loyal. If another automaker has a better product, i'll take it. The TBSS is just better suited for me. It has a bit more storage capacity, i think it looks a lot nicer, nicer wheels, nicer front seats, an exhaust that doesn't exit in the middle (the single exit on the side still sucks.. modding the SS and getting dual exit is the way to go). This is all just my preference, but still, I couldn't justify paying an extra 7-8K for a similar mileage/option vehicle for a small performance improvement while taking a hit in other areas. Both awesome vehicles, but it just depends on what you need. If you want a more performance oriented truck, the 5 speed 6.1L jeep is the way to go.. i think the SS offers a better all around SUV product.
