What does your Jeep run in the 1/4? That sounds interesting to me. You sure it wasn't a 4.6?

They aren't all that heavy compared to similar cars and the weight distribution is pretty damn close to 50/50... FWIW I run 12.87 @ 110 stock.

Edit: Checked the specs on the SRT-8. Definitely BS. You've got at least 1,000 lbs on the 3600 lb 5.0, and only 8 hp more. That was a funny joke! :rolleyes:

That's the only way that boat would walk away from a 5.0. :bowrofl:

Don't get me wrong, the SRT-8 is a cool truck, but a 5.0 would rape it.

Why does cwiz get a bigger discount than me? Is that because he doesn't hurt you as much? :eek: :stirthepot:

If they had exactly what I wanted, I probably would've considered it a bit more, but alas.

Ya for sure, anyone that says that the quality isn't there is smoking it pretty hard. It feels solid and well put together. Only thing I didn't like were the guages...seemed like old watches...but really in the big picture that aint ****

I hate the new Mustangs because they drastically slashed my car humor archives. Most of what I used to laugh about has been corrected, so other than pulling out the odd joke just to bother Steve, I'm at a loss. :(

If you cross me I'll cut you so bad you'll wish I didn't cut you so bad!

Well to be honest, it's a driver's race. Say for instance, the driver of the Jeep SRT-8 was in his or her car and the mustang driver was out of their car, buying a samitch or somethin'. The SRT-8 is gonna rule the road! :mad:

Or if they held the race in a foot of snow, the Jeep would win.
