SRT 8

I hope you are kidding you would not even stand a chance with your TLS he would have knocked your doors off. Truck has 400+ horsepower and sick torq, Not even close 0-60 is 4.3

Any other Jeep should lose to a TLS easy but not an SRT 8

Yeah, I have driven the SRT8 Jeep and NO TL, Type-S or not could catch one. 6.1 Hemi, 425 hp, AWD...not a chance, those things are stupid fast. The wheels are like 20x10...it hooks up. I took TCS off and couldn't get it to break loose, it just feels like its gonna lift off the ground. Fastest production SUV in the world, it even beats up the Porsche. From a dig, or even highway, it would still beat you.

But, if its just the 5.7 Hemi, he will get you off the line but you would catch him.

I think you need a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 to compete......

Ferrari Enzo is another option.


........ or the Jaguar XJ-220.

You must be insane. Those jeeps are heavy as hell. With 425(I believe) odd horsepwer that SRT8 would eat your TL for breakfast, lunch and dessert.

I luv my TLS, but I don't need to be handed my ass by an SRT-8. Just smile and let 'em go

Some good words, "a mans got to know his limitations" In this case the TL is :silvercup

im sure the cayenne turbo s can take the srt-8, but not our TL....

I think the Cayenne S Turbo has a 0-60 time slightly slower than the SRT8.

I would take the Cayenne S turbo in the twisties over the SRT8 though.

Which leads me to wondering, why would we take SUVs to the twisties? :- ].

hmm, they should be similar in 0-60 but any faster i think the cayenne has the upper hand due to its extra 100hp.

The SRT8 Jeep is quick but you need not go exotic to beat it. As a matter of fact, the MB ML63 AMG can give the Jeep SRT8 a dose of its own medicine. LINK

As for any stock Honda or Acura product beating one though, only the NSX has the potential to do so.

there is a video of someone running a srt 8 at a track and they get abused.

Those jeeps are awesome!

fellas, im not an idiot, i wouldnt even bother with the srt8. you guys are confusing the SRT8 with the hemi, look it up. its not the SRT8 the hemi has like 325 hp?, but its heavy as hell. Its the Jeep Cherooke hemi, not the jeep cherokee SRT8

drix27

For starters, Jeep updated the whole works, adding a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 to the Grand Cherokee's options list. The newly available engine brings to three the number of powerplants you can choose from: a 210-hp 3.7-liter V-6 (which replaces the old 4.0-liter in-line six), and a 4.7-liter, 230-hp V-8 taking up the middle slot.

The HEMI isn't just an option, however - it's the Nuclear Option. This engine's bone-gnawing 330 hp gives the Grand Cherokee a near 100-hp advantage over the V-8 Ford Explorer's measly 239 hp, and a 40-pony jump over the Chevy TrailBlazer EXT's 290-hp,

MY comment and the only thing i have to say is ROFL!!!!!!

I hate cars

Just race one and find out.

I raced a Hemi Ram pickup in my AT non-S TL for lane control since we both had to merge into one lane and I ended up out front by a couple cars.

Guys,

I copied this from Edmunds road test.......that 420 HP Jeep may be heavy but it is a beast! Check it out:

At the track the Grand Cherokee SRT8, which rides on massive 255/45ZR20 front and 285/40ZR20 rear Goodyear Eagle RS-A run-flats, laid down some serious numbers: 5.2 seconds to 60 mph, 13.5 seconds in the quarter-mile. That makes this a 4,800-pound SUV that easily smokes a new Mustang GT, Pontiac GTO and, its most direct competitor, the Chevy TrailBlazer SS. And, you may want to sit down for this if you're a Porschephile, it's even quicker than the $90,000 Porsche Cayenne Turbo (0-60 in 5.9, quarter in 14.3).

u can spank any normal 5.7L hemi but the 6.1L hemi u cant mess wit...no matter what the car is

Manual Transmission

The Bugatti Veyron 16-4 should beat the SRT8 Jeep from 0-40 mph. The Veyron is equipped with AWD, and with each wheel monitored and controlled by computer. No chance the SRT8 Jeep will beat it either from a dig or roll. And of course kill the Jeep in the high-end....


I was being a little exaggerative on the comparison..

btw, nice fun video. The ML63 AMG won.

No matter what the car is?

so i can beat the 5.7 wit my 08 3.2 tl bone stock????

^ apparently it's possible since I hate car has done it.

And also Porsche came up with the Cayenne Turbo S, with 520hp, the normal turbo "only" had 450.

^ I think he meant his GN, or a variety of other cars. A BPU MKIV would destroy it, as I've got a friend with only an intercooler and exhaust running 12.0 flat at 120. With a 120 trap he should be in high 11's but hey, it's still quick as hell, even more so for a model year 1993 car.

~Cheers~

I've beat the regular Hemi Ram in my TL. One was a woman trying to beat me for the merging lane and I just remembered another time on the way to lunch against a co-worker. Look beyond the "Hemi" designation. The 5.7 Hemi in a 5,500lb truck isn't anything special. If my auto '06 with over 100lbs of subs can beat one, any TL will beat one. I gave up on my GN so I'm in the process of puchasing another mint condition one and transferring my suspension, heads, etc over to it. Then hopefully I'll have some SRT-8, SRT-10 kills or even a couple more Vipers.

That GN is just ridiculous .. must be awesome owning highly respectable cars on the road today .

i can certainly vouch for that. Was at a light in the STi, and the jeep pulls up, i say to him, " that shit rips doesn't it, " and he was like its not bad. I was like nice pickup dude.


Light turns green, i hear the most amazing growl from underneath the hood and he was a good half a car length ahead of me. Keep in mind, the STi is AWD, with roughly 315hp and a turbo is losing to this heavy tank. And my turbo lag is awful, so i caught up to him only leaving third gear, but



DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN


those things tear shit up for SUV's. By far the best thing that jeep has done since the wrangler back in the 60's or whatever.
