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!

Sounds like it was a one man race to me.

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

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?

You just don't understand, he won by breaking the law......The law of physics, that is!

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.

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!

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