Erm, isn't that more than a Porsche Turbo? Last time I checked they were around $186,000 (CAD)

That thing is ugly and stupid.

I'm not even a Jeep owner, but I came here to say this crap isn't a jeep. Solid axles or gtfo.

for a quarter million i could build a sweet toyota tacoma that would be much better than that jeep.

Go away. You're harshing their circle-Jeep ;)

It's not faster than a Porche turbo unless you get to handpick which one you want to compete with.

The 9ff GT9-R does 0-62MPH in 2.9 and tops out at 268MPH.


Also, it's not a Porche.

Or if the race isn't a straight line.

Who are the two guys in the article comments section that are cracking jokes, BrtStlnd and Spieg Jong-IL and what are their fark handles, cmon guys, fess up.

From what I have gathered from the Fark Research Institute having a small penis either:

a) grants wealth and success to be able to purchase fast/expensive cars.

b) causes the owner to also be cursed a moran making them make poor financial decisions

c) causes the owner to be unsure of themselves or the world so they end up buying a jeep

All the world is insecure, it's just how much. The more insecure someone is, the more likely they overcompensate for it. This gives us "alpha male" types, trophies, and faith as well. Surely you've noticed.

Dracolich: The more insecure someone is, the more likely they overcompensate for it attack successful people spending habits in order to boost their own self-worth.

Jeep is about off roading, not sport performance.

That too. They also fix things for people with views they see as different from their own.

In high school, I had a '51 Willys. The family lawn mower had a more complicated motor. Now I am old and soft, so I drive a Land Rover LR4.

/could go off road if I wanted to.

Can't remove my top without a reciprocating saw, but I'll be damned if my 95 Cherokee sport is not a Jeep. Plenty of off road fun in it. Also dropped it in low once and pushed a 9000# forklift buried in 8 inches of ice. Not waving, throwing mud.

Did they make it specifically for rappers and the NBA?

The only unmodified 911 Turbo I found that can beat it is the special edition Turbo S edition that you have to buy a $800k+ hybrid 911 first to even be allowed to purchase.

My penis has already hit the scientific limits of maximum hugeness.

The original Cherokee was so good they still produce knockoffs in China to this day. Skrait six baby.

Lot of haters in here...That thing can tear the ass out of just about anything on the road.

It's priced in the stratosphere because it's HPE. Bunch of thieving taintgrenades that overcharge like mad...But they can make some fast shiat.

Oh I know they do...And it's not like the JGC SRT8 is a slouch in the handling department either. It'll out stop and out handle most cars on the road bone stock...Upgraded brakes, suspension, tires, driveline, etc. are only going to make that better.

/was watching a mildly modified TBSS spank a stock Viper at the local Auto-X a few months ago (drivers made quite a difference here though)

nukeim: mildly modified

I am always suspicious when I see that phrase;)

I dont care if its faster, handles better, etc...its still not a Porsche, and never will be. That goes for anything. A cheap vehicle modded to be faster, better handling etc, than a more expensive vehicle still isnt in the same class.

Full coilover supsension, bigger anti-roll bars...Just exhaust, intake and cam for performance. That thing was a hoot to watch slam around.

FlashHarry: Dead for Tax Reasons: And then it made it to a turn

done in three.

you can strap a rocket motor to a chrysler k-car, and it'll hit 60mph in 3.6 seconds, too. straight-line speed is nothing. handling is everything. this is what american manufacturers have failed to grasp for 40 years.

You know how I know you don't know WTF you're talking about?

This is true. And it's wildly overpriced for what you get.

Doesn't mean I get the hate. I can recognize the work that went into making an SUV put those numbers up, and I've driven plenty of fast cars (including every SRT8 variant)...The JGC SRT8 is a nice, nice truck and does what it's supposed to spectacularly.

If you could get one to run you to begin with :)


/has seen this look on Viper owner's faces while pulling away in his Poncho

I just got rid of a 2000 911. I can tell you with certainty that I would not have been goaded into a drag race in it. It just wasn't that quick.

Now, if someone wants to try it in the one I traded it in for, I'd be willing.

FlashHarry: nukeim: You know how I know you don't know WTF you're talking about?

are you saying this thing will out-corner a porsche 911?

Is that the standard for saying a car handles well?

If so, damn few do.

FlashHarry: nukeim: You know how I know you don't know WTF you're talking about?

Nope.

I was disagreeing with your asinine assertion that "straight-line speed is nothing. handling is everything. this is what american manufacturers have failed to grasp for 40 years".

And that's simply not true.

Cherokee != Grand Cherokee. The Cherokee was a real Jeep. The Grand Cherokee is a less-douchetastic Land Rover with some semblance of reliability.
