Jeep srt8
Great launch, great ET, but cruddy trap speed (for that ET). Like I said before, the AWD Jeep GC SRT-8 can get great launches (we ALL know that), but at the end of the 1/4mi. and beyond, your truck slows way down. What was your 60ft. on that incredible 11.8sec ET run...1.6 sec, 1.7sec.? 
But, you're only trapping 114mph when running 11.8 sec. ET?
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?

Sorry if I don't know what that is, but are you saying you have a different engine (than the oem stock bored out 6.1L Hemi SRT-8 engine) in your Jeep GC SRT-8 or is it majorly modded by "Arrington?" I am not familiar with this; sorry for asking, but...Are you sure you don't have NOS?
It would appear that other Jeep GC SRT-8's that have run similar to yours are on the bottle. Look at DragTimes.com...

You most likely ran a re-badged horribly driven SL55, an SL65 w/Drag Rads from this forum Engine bone stock, have run 11.50's @ 123-124mph do the math Hell even the heavy assed S65 w/Drag rads runs 11's @ 122
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
So 1st you say you beat the re-badged SL65? Then post here's video of your friends SRT8 Jeep doing it?

Umm none of what you said makes sense where did I say I ran a re-badged SL 65 and whats all this crap about trap speed is funny. Again its obvious to me you guys have no idea what you are talking about and you get your info from one of many vehicle magazines you subscribe too, I wonder what the DA was for the 11.5 bone stock SL 65 pass bet it was well in the negatives and as far as stuck mud I guess the SL 65 owner in that vid must of got some on his tires on that pass cause he got his *** handed to him down the majority of the track lucky it was not an 1/8 mile track cause he would of gone home and would have told his buddies he got his *** handed to him by at 5000 pound grocery go getter.

So what? What does a heavily modded Bored & Stroked over 1.1 liter in displacement vs otherwise stock tuned SRT8's have to do w/this thread?

Maybe you should be using you teleaid to call someone who has a clue because its apparent you do not. Can you not grasp the fact that a Arrington 440 Hemi with cam and headwork would make the same power as lets say a stock 6.1 hemi on a 200 shot

Enjoy your majorly modded, non-stock bored and stroked 7.2L Jeep GC SRT-8 (which traps 113-114mph) and I will enjoy my stock MB C63 AMG which traps 114-115mph all day long.

SL65's curb weight 4555lbs SL55's 4250lbs
SL65's commonly run 11.50-11.90 @ 120-124 mph, yes Trap speeds are irritating examples of true HP, your pathetic 105 trap could be beaten by a well driven N/A CLK55 dwn the 1320'...

You know what? Cut all this bull****
All it will come down to is that
What would other people think of these cars
A Jeep
or
A Merc?
when it all comes down all of us could easily got a jeep instead of a Merc
reason being , its hard to get luxury and power all at the same time
If i wanted a car faster than this i would just get some **** car and TT that
cost me less than 30 grand

I cant find on willing to race, there all trying to get their money back for th 50K they spent over sticker. You cant even launch it in launch mode or it will break the tranny. You find one and send him mty way!! I'm in NY and at the OBI at the beach every sunday morning.

), and they both paid $5k below MSRP. So, get your head out of your a$$ or your boxy Jeep truck, and listen up...My buddy just ran his stock GT-R at PBIR last Fri. night...he ran 11.7sec @ 120.3mph! His car is STOCK, yours is not. His car is AWESOME, and yours is a POS. Get over it and move on.
btw -- if you're interested, here is his timeslip...

I think you really should run against a GT-R and make sure you post up the video, so we can ALL have a good laugh.

Modded to modded there are several C63's with tune and bolt ons running in the 11's at or over 120 trap. Your own time slips show a consistant 22 mph gain on the big half of the track where these C63's are getting 25-26. They are not only going faster than you by 5-6 mph at the end of a 1/4 but the gap is growing as both vehicles enter triple digits.
Again you have a remarkable vehicle but not fast enough to catch the modded C63's that I am referring to.

You have a very quick but also very enhanced Jeep that is about as similiar to a stock SRT8 as a C63 is to a C350. Thus your Jeep would be on the list but not the SRT8 in general.

Did you even look at the DragTimes.com timeslip comparisons between the Jeep GC SRT-8 and the MB C63 AMG...http://www.dragtimes.com/Jeep--Chero...ag-Racing.html

Dude, if you think you GC SRT-8 guys are even close to the same ballpark as the MB C63 guys, then you're absolutely
