they are pretty damn quick especially when they have mods. i saw one run a 8 flat in the 1/8 it sounded awesome. i asked him what he had and he said cai exhaust and a tune he hurt several ppl feelings at the track that night.

My God....there are so many MORONS in this place lately thats a real shame....I dont believe Im reading a so called "muscle car" fan bitching about how poor gas mileage the SRT8 have...thats worse than any ricer argument.

Yes its a SUV and it can kick your ***...live with it and move on.

Oh and yes...mildly modded or even stock can kick that PIG Impala *** anyday. I know is hard to accept it but it is so true.

Some people need to get out of their GM cocoons and accept what other brands have to offer.

You all have hit it pretty close to home. Stock the GC SRT8's run right around 13 flat. Not much will beat them out of the hole with the all wheel drive, it is an awesome dig. But, on a roll they are dead in the water. With slight mods, and not to much $$$ you can dial them in the 12.6-12.8 range. I have CAI, high flow cats, diablo predator tune, 2007 CG SRT8 and the best I have run is 12.67. Want to wait a bit before I go any farther. It is a nice ride and is fun to drive, performance is amazing for an SUV. Get some baffled looks when you out run a vette, stang, and even all other SRT models. And yes, if your going to pay 50K for a vehicle are you really worried about 12-15 miles a gallon? The funny thing, is with my mods and tune I am getting better mpg than I did stock!!!! 14.4 city and 16.7 highway if you are that worried about it.......and yes I would beat you.

The SRT jeep is the quickest SRT next to the viper out. Don't be upset that is a sweet ride. The mpg thing is funny how can you get a true mpg out of a car that your foot is on the floor all the time.



PS my 400rw+ car get 25+ on the highway LOL!!!

SRT8 Jeep is no joke.

From a dig they are sick.

If I had one I would have a cutout on the stock exhaust, k&n filter in the stock box, and a 150 shot.

I ran into (away from) one on my way th the dragstrip Friday.

I pulled out and he was going about 60 and coming up to my car I saw him crack it. He never quite got to the back of my car.... Let off about 80 and pulled him pretty hard...

At the track for my 1st time out this year I now understood why i pulled him (and a LS1 Camaro 'vert AND 2 C5 vettes) from a 50-60 roll...

My car trapped 114mph on a really shitty hot 74% humidity day!

Only went a 12.70 though... The all season tires gotta go...
