I drive a C63.
Also, lets not hate on the Jeep give props where its due that's one crazy SUV. I agree it's shape would make 100+ MPH speeds an issue but for what it can do from a dig its pretty impressive given that its an SUV after all.

I think he was also pointing out the differences between the two motors since it was SUV vs SUV.

I've got an 07 SRT8 Jeep that will give you a good run it's fast enough to beat an SL 65 AMG last night. That reminds me I need to update the 1/4 time in my sig. Like others said you never know what kind of mods the ones on your list may have who knows you might end up on their list of cars that are not worth their time racing, enjoy the vid

LOL i doubt if I could catch it I was so far behind at 100MPH it was actually depressing... I posted in the local evo forum to see who it was and it seems like that guy had a 2.3 Stroked fully built 35R Turbo upgrade which generates 500WHP on a very light AWD car.

If your Jeep is running sub 12 sec 1/4 miles then you might stand a chance against the SL65. Not taking away from your ride. I am sure it is extremely fast and fun to drive.

Any thoughts/concerns/interest on running with the CTS-V2???
Agree.
Lucky you...I'll take anything right now...I can't find anyone to make a run with me...

Hmmmm.... I dont see how you could have beaten the SL65. He went easy on you I think.
#86
You know that is exactly right he obviously was and the guy in the vid who only beat a tuned only jeep by what less than 2 tenths went to the track not drive his AMG all out your insight and ability to know exactly what that guy was doing at the time of our little street ract and probably your insight at this guy at the track is purely astounding
REALLY some of the AMG owners are pretty cool but good gosh some of the comments make you all look like arrogant bafoons that wear blinders.
Ok guys I guess the only way to make you happy is to to the AMG and say any of us without one are inferior what was I thinking I'm not worthy to even post here with my sad SL550, well guess the only thing to do is upgrade then Guess I could sell the SL and Cayenne and get in line for the black series 65 AMG what do you think (seriously).

Is the Jeep inferior to the C63? Absolutely. Is it faster stock? Nope. Would I rather have a C63? Yup. Put a modded C63 against a modded Jeep and the C63 wins. I really don’t see why you are arguing on a C63 forum over it. Go brag on the SRT8 forums where all the other SRT8 guys think they have a faster car based on 1 YouTube video.
I also don’t see why you would post on the C63 forum with an SL550. But its all good as long as its civil I guess.
Again, the SL65 is faster than 12.5. Maybe you can pull on it due to your AWD up to 60-70 MPH but after that your toast. The C63 stock will be 12.5 on a good run.
Now all that aside... The SRT8 is a great bang for the buck truck. IMO its ugly but at 40K its a good deal and its very fast for the money.

I owned 2x jeep srt8's. When i was driving local/non-highway the thing was just unstoppable at stop lights. It murdered everything. BUUUT when i started doing a long commute doing more highway it sucked @ss. I swear that it wasn't much faster than like a toyota sequoia at 80mph. With a tune it fared much better but that def wasn't a strong point. Thats why away the jeep went and I got the V2. Much better on the highways

I look at the CTSV. I decided id rather own a MB than a GM. GM isnt doing so hot these days and I think it will hurt resale value big time. It did on my 04.
#90
Ummm.. Your jeep is putting up 12.5 in the 1/4. I dont see how you think that is faster than the SL65 As stated before that is an old time. Your also modded I guess so tune/valve body/intake is modding so your right. When you start talking mods there will always be a faster car. Im sure I can get a Dodge Neon to smoke your truck if modded enough. It's an SUV not a truck and your right mods do play a role hence why I beat the 65 from a dig unfortunately for the driver we had to stop before he could pull me in and pass which I have no doubt he would have and left me in way in the back of his rearview mirror
Is the Jeep inferior to the C63? Absolutely Inferiority is in the eye of the beholder. Is it faster stock Again all depends on the situation and race at hand? Nope. Would I rather have a C63? Yup Obviously your on a C63 forum. Put a modded C63 against a modded Jeep and the C63 wins Umm that can go either way depends on mods of each so your statement is not so biased. I really don’t see why you are arguing on a C63 forum over it. Again not arguing you guys are the one getting all upset Go brag on the SRT8 forums where all the other SRT8 guys think they have a faster car based on 1 YouTube video LOL.
I also don’t see why you would post on the C63 forum with an SL550. But its all good as long as its civil I guess.
Again, the SL65 is faster than 12.5 Video I posted shows differently it ran a 12.68, how often do you race or have been to the track? Do you even work on your C63 or understand how weather and DA affects performance, of course boosted applications fair better in bad DA so why was he only running 12.6 then? Driver Mod? IDK. Maybe No maybe I can and so can others as apparent in the vid you can pull on it due to your AWD up to 60-70 MPH but after that your toast. The C63 stock will be 12.5 on a good run. Never questioned the ability of the C63 or the SL 65 AMG but I did check out dragtime and there were stock C63 1/4 times OVER 12.5 so again your statement is a little off and not so factual.
Now all that aside... The SRT8 is a great bang for the buck truck. IMO its ugly but at 40K its a good deal and its very fast for the money.

I really like the C63 IMO its the best bang for the buck in a nice luxury but sporty MB with power to boot.

Hey its just rebutale son not being crazy
Anyway I trapped 105.68 due to our weight our trap speeds are typically in that area for those time here is the vid, it was against a 408 CI TBSS listen to the guy talking to the person taking the vid funny stuff the jeep totally shocked him when I launch
http://i96.photobucket.com/flash/pla...n/srt8jeep.flv
Same pass but from inside the jeep

From what I hear the 09 CTSV beats the C63. Not by much but in all aspects. 0-60, 1/4 mile and track times. Its really a hell of a car. The C63's exaust note is MUCH better and the caddy is supercharged so it has a lot of whine.
I look at the CTSV. I decided id rather own a MB than a GM. GM isnt doing so hot these days and I think it will hurt resale value big time. It did on my 04.

One minor correction though--the '09 CTS-V supercharger whine is practically non-existent in stock form. It is very much UNLIKE a Magnacharger on a V1--it's pretty quiet.
I would also say that I'm not quite as concerned about GMs recent issues and resale value--I think other things are hurting resale value for GM cars, especially the V1s, far more than their current economic situation is.
But I'm a HUGE fan of AMGs (), so I can understand wanting a C63 over a CTS-V. But a CTS-V 2 is one of the better bangs-for-your-buck out there.
And like your brothers in the E55 world know well, it's VERY easy to get crazy power out of a motor that comes from the factory already supercharged. Don't be surprised to see many more 600+ rwhp/600+ rwtq CTS-V running around, for it isn't really that hard to get there.

If you're trapping @ 105.68, it means your HP isn't that high...since your Jeep GC SRT-8 (tuned or not) is AWD, it means your AWHP is fairly low. As you MAY or MAY NOT know, your trap speed is a good indiction of HP (power) and your ET and 60ft. (your so beloved 12.58 sec. and 1.79 sec. 60ft. in the 1/4mi. ET) are good indications of how good you launch.
So, basically, your MHP tuned AWD Jeep GC SRT-8 can really get great launches (which we already know since it's AWD and has high TQ) but like we've already said, your car is a complete "flying brick" in the upper speeds and has crappy power at the end of of the 1/4mi. and beyond. A C63 AMG and SL65 should (and I mean SHOULD, not necessarily ALWAYS) WALK you every time as these MB's typically trap 114+mph in the 1/4 mi. If you're just OK at math, you'll know that 114+ >>>>>>>>>>> 105.
The ONLY reason you can run 12.58 sec. in the 1/4 mi. is because you can launch your car with a 1.79 sec. 60ft!!! The best 60ft. I ever got in my tuned BMW 335i was 1.94 sec., and I still ran 12.8 sec. @ 111mph!!!! On the hwy., my higher HP and much lighter 335i would destroy Jeep GC SRT-8's (btw - stock 335i's trap 104-105mph)!!!
Enjoy your flying brick, SON! j/k...enjoy your truck for what it is.

Even though that the SRT8 did a 12.6quatermile but if you keep going even a stock 335 with quatermile time of 13.2 or so will probably walk the SRT8

My buddy in his brand new, stock GT-R just ran 11.7 sec. @ 120.3mph (in 86 degree F / high humidity S. FL weather)!!!! Now, that's an indication of both a great launch AND huge HP in the top end.
btw -- I'm assuming your GC SRT-8 is not exactly stock ...what mods do you have to run 11.8 sec. @ 114mph when the other guy (1QWKJEEP) runs 12.58 sec. @ 105mph?

Their 60' times have been as low as 1.6x in stock form w/Drag Rad's will leave your Jeep looking like you're stuck in the mud
I've got an 07 SRT8 Jeep that will give you a good run it's fast enough to beat an SL 65 AMG last night. That reminds me I need to update the 1/4 time in my sig.

Here is a vid from this past weekend of my buddies tune and intake only jeep (5120lbs) running an SL 65 AMG at Ennis, now if the OP says the SRT8 Jeeps are not worth his time he must be racing them past 100 any street race situation the jeep could of shut down and been 2 to 3 cars ahead and poked fun of the MB on the forums. In this vid jeep ran 12.86 to the SL 12.68 I consider it a good race dont you guys. Now understand I'm not on here to start trouble I just didn't like the way the OP came off saying the Jeep was a waste of his time, now unless his MB runs sub 4 second 0-60 and launches well I simply dont understand why he would dismiss them as a wast of time.
