SRT8 jeeps VS Z/28 camaro
First off what power and torque numbers do the SRT8 Jeeps put down in stock trim?
reason for asking (this was a while back on my way to AZ with the car) is this, i was driving with my wife and some spare parts in the trunk(factory cats, section of stock y-pipe, stock exhaust manifolds) plus luggage to Tucson AZ. by way of I-30 and it turns into I-10 well just before Odessa Texas about 30 miles or so i come up on this jeep and i see that it is the SRT8 version well i was traveling 80 and he matches my speed as i was passing so i went to 85 and slowly pulled in front and we went back and fourth like this for about 12 miles or so. long story short we get to a stretch of highway that is empty and he again pulles next to me and matches speed then accelerates in front of me in a hurry and lets off, he does this twice. well i figured he wanted to play so i slowed to about 62 MPH he matches and we both hit it like we knew the other was going to and take off almost at the same time i think he had a slight jump on me but wasent very noticable. here we are both flying down the highway and he is right off my pass. rear quarter panel till ABOUT 115 120 and then i start to pull hard on him and walk away. once this happened i let out and he flew past me and ended up turning off in Odessa. i was pretty surprised by this whats yalls take?

There's one that goes to no problem race way and his bone stock went 12.98 @ 106mph. Then he sprayed it with a 200 shot and the damn thing went 11.7x @ 11Xmph. Pretty damn suprising if you ask me!!

The jeeps are strong. 0-60 in about 4.9 stock. Here's a 1/4 mile race vs a BMW 335 (starts at 30 seconds in):

My boss has one, and we ran when I was basically stock. We went from a stop, and it was insane how fast that thing took off. I couldnt catch back up.
Its even crazier when I rode in that thing, and a big *** jeep handled just as well as my car. That thing defys physics.

im convinced mopar leaves alot on the table with the tune from the factory. i have a feeling once the aftermarket picks up and more tuning options become available there will be some modern hemis with some nice numbers/times

Try mid 4s with a nice brake torque, 103-105mph trap speeds, low 13s under any conditions. 3:73 gears and AWD make for a solid 1.8 60ft.
The one you ran was probably Diablo tuned, my guess is the 400rwhp range and I've heard over 108mph trap speeds.
Nice run, I wonder if he hit 4th and knew he was going to get killed?

4.9 0-60 in the Jeep SRT-8 is a nice Edmunds figure quoting the manufacturer. 0-60 times mean nothing from a roll anyway.

those things are nice from a dig but i've seen 13.5's or so at the local track for stock ones. i think the normal 60's are 1.6-1.8's? makes me want to slash their tires!

well i was being considerate to them. i will never be impressed by how fast any truck or suv can be made or car for that matter if they get horrible gas mileage from the factory.

Nobody cares if you're impressed by them or not.
