Default SRT 8 Cherokee, Very Surprising!

Buddy got an srt 8 cherokee, so we ran. I really didnt expect the outcome. We did three runs, all with the same outcome. From a dig he gets me to 90 then I pull real hard past him, here's the 30 mph roll.

I think he is saying they are extremely slow by the video? Although heavy I thought it would have been able to keep up a bit better?

They are aren't aerodynamic at all and are heavy so they are at a disadvantage from the roll race. They rip from a dig tho. Nice kill OP.

haha not at all, i was expecting a better race though. Im not stock though and he is. But the only mods I have is a lid, lt headers, ls6 intake of course, and ory. Does anyone know how stock vs stock turns out?

Nice kill, he needs to get a CAI/Tune, then you will only beat him by 4-5 cars. Serriously, they make a huge difference.

That's impressive. It took me a while to find a stock dyno for one but it seems like they're around 330-340.. so roughly a 45 AWHP gain.

On my venture to find said stock dyno numbers, there are a lot of butthurt SRT-8 owners that the SS won in C&D's SUV competition, mainly because the SRT-8 outperforms the SS. If I wanted something strictly for performance, I sure as **** wouldn't have handicapped myself with a 4600+ lb weight, but that's just me.

I agree. I had an SRT-10 regular cab truck a couple of years ago. It had great power and torque but it weighed as much as a 747.

In order to make up for the extreme weight It was going to need forced induction.

I know what you mean, but theyre on the streets not on the 1/4. No official length and rules on the streets. He got raped on the streets.

i consider it half win half loss...

i usually race to 90ish on the street cause thats an 1/8...

i dont consider roll racing, racing...

depends on what you consider a drag race.. if i were the OP i woulda posted the dig runs up... and said, we did a roll race also and i pulled on him.. instead of posting the roll, like it matters.. and then telling about the dig...

i would have put that vid up but i dont have it. This was the only vid i found on my computer. Ill have to setup another one, 0-130 or something. But I wouldnt go as far as saying a roll race isnt a legit race.
