Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8's snarling big-block 6.1-liter HEMI® V8 engine puts 420 horsepower to the pavement through an exclusive electronic full-time four-wheel-drive system. The result?

So are they actually 420 to the wheels? If 420 if its flywheel ill be suing for false advertisement. The website says 420 to the pavement.

lol^, I think they're fast for an suv 0-60 under 5 i think. My dad has the jeep with the 5.7 hemi and that thing pulls hard for a truck, the front tires chirp when you stomp it from a stop. So i could imagine that one being a quick ride. an ls1 would probably walk away after 60 being that thing is a pig.

it weighs 4800 lbs. It has 420hp at the flywheel stock. Ive been researching this too as i work at a jeep dealership and the guy thats head of finance, has one, and wants to race. They are no joke but im pretty sure an ls1 can take it. it might be close but we'll see i guess. let me know how that goes if you do race. ill do the same.
