Default anyone race the new 6.1L jeep?

are they fast? long story short my friend and i were cruising in his loud *** subaru to the movies and this jeep pulls up and rolls down his window smiling asking to race. we race and my friend gets crushed lol by about two cars. so i ask him if he wants to race again, but ill go get my car. he asks me what it is, i told him its "just" a camaro lol. he then asks me how much i say i dunno 50 bucks follow me ill go get my car. so we are driving back to get my car and he u-turns and takes off.

so we said **** it and went to see hancock which is a really sweet movie.

You mean the SRT-8 Jeep Grand Cherokee's? They are pretty quick for their size. I had one pull on my in my LT1, bad launch and street tires. Never raced one with my LS1.

car weighed 3950 without me in it...and still can do some more weight reduction...i dunno where ur getting a 1,000 pounds less??? does ur car weigh 2950 or something???

there is more to racing than hp and weight...r/t, 60', weather, etc...it is the 1/8 mile anyways...i dont really need a lot of top end...just get it and go...

r u in or what??? or r u gonna back down to a jeep???
