I can't believe we just used the same analogy.

This is a warning to you, it is my personal opinion by the things you've stated that you are a complete moron when it comes to automobiles, and aren't a true enthusiast
btw, i've driven both as well, they are in a COMPLETELY different league IMO

You do know a lot about cars
moronBTW, the reason there aren't any in WA is because they are all comming to So Cal. BTW, also drove an Trailblazer SS.
BTW, I forgot to mention, the SRT-8 was "given" to him by chrysler if he'd use it in some TV show's he's producing. He's had a good relationship w/ them since he produced the show "Viper" back in the 90's when the Viper was first releasted.

1) You're a mod...and you just "warned" a Mega Mod...
2) Just because YOU'RE dealer in WA didn't Allow for test drives, doesn't mean no other dealer in the country will. So, that "arguement" is bunk.

Yeah but my dad paid below MSRP due to his connections in the jeep world. Everyone else is paying $5K-$10K over MSRP. Also know this, on Saturday in Seattle, a dealership ON THE SPOT offered my dad $55K for his SRT8. Because they are so scarce. Your dads friend had it for 3 months now huh funny they werent even released until about a month ago.

read my edit and you'll understand

btw, he also was given a viper to drive around for a few years during the filming of that show

And in all comparion the interior on the porsche is light years ahead of the jeepy. Not to mention ride quality and a few other things.

I don't care, everyone has opinion, I'm not here to argue. I am just standing by something I know is great. Aside from being all performance, it has many luxury features as well. The interior is fully loaded. Might want to check out my dads jeep site some time, some of you might learn something....www.wjjeeps.com

Most people are saying their dealers wont let them test drive any of the SRT vehicles...doesn't mean I didn't go to my local Dodge dealer and drive a Magnum SRT...because I did.
Like I said. Just because they arent doing it in WA doesn't mean anything.
And no one said the GC was crap...But you clearly thrashed the Porsche for no reason other then to "defend" the GC.

3/4 of the JEEP dealerships dont even have one for sale yet. I just think it's an amazing machine for the price is all I'm saying. I never said the Porsche sucked or was bad, I just think its overpriced and ugly.

dont apologize, stand your ground, be a man. I still think you are an idiot, and my apology for your rims was primarily sarcastic
