Killed a Trans Am in my Jeep (video) I have a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. It is pretty much stock except for a cold air intake and a Predator tune. I took it out to the track to get a baseline before I start modding it. Funny thing is I get lined up against a 2002 WS6 6 speed that has headers, gears, lid and a 125 shot. I caught the opponent sleeping at the light. He sprayed in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear trying to close the gap, but couldn't. I ran a 13.01. My 60' time was 1.844.
While the Jeep is nowhere near as fast as my old TA, it was satisfying to be out at the track again, even if it was in a 4800 lb SUV.

Spray or no spray that guy got owned. He should have been in the 12's anyway. Those SRT8's take off like a bat out of hell with the hp and awd. Great kill................even if it was one of our own.

Good kill! In defense of the other guy, I say he had a bad launch but he caught up to you-well it looks like that in the vid, but not enough to win. I too had some bad launches in my car..still haven't got that down yet...only been to the track twice with this car.
