99 CL 2.3 5spd vs 2006 Grand Cherokee 5.7L
So today i was driving a friend to class, cruising down the avenue when a jeep grand cherokee pulls up next to me, looks almost brand new. I think nothing of it, just sit at the light waiting for my turn. The light turns green, and we both slowly start to roll. I like to hear my intake, so i give the car a lil gas, and i notice the guy next to me gun it once he heard that. So now im like "fuck it, y not". I floor it through 1st gear, slap to second in which i have caught dead even with him, and then to the beginning of 3rd where we shut it down because of the next approaching light. We went up to about 70 i believe, dead even. I was disappointed that my car couldn't beat an SUV, but then again it is a 5.7 liter V-8 vs a 2.3 liter 4 cylinder with just intake. The guy was cool though, laughed and gave eachother thumbs up at the next light and went our seperate ways.

you really think so? it sure sounded and looked like he was flooring it. i knew it was a 5.7L cuz at the next light i let him go 1st so i could see the trim level of the jeep on the back. Maybe its not broken in yet?

yea they do, but i didnt see a hemi sticker on it. I guess either the dude wasnt flooring it or i got lucky, or maybe his engine isnt broken in yet or something. i was shocked too when i saw a 5.7L sticker on the back

A 6.1-liter Hemi V8 generates an explosive 420 hp and a tire-burning 420 pound-feet of torque. It’s essentially a modified version of the Grand Cherokee’s 5.7-liter Hemi that winds up 85 horses stronger in the process. This powerplant is capable of propelling the vehicle to 60 mph from a standstill in just under five seconds, which puts it in the heady company of some sports cars, to say nothing of how it compares with regular SUVs.
EDIT: My 4.0L XJ takes off like a bat out of hell when you nail the throttle, I couldn't imagine what that thing feels like.
