I have to hand it to ya that is a pretty pathetic time especially at HRP in October (10' ASL) heck I ran the same month at Ennis STOCK and ran a 12.87

Only due to drivers inexperience. Car for car the C63 wins. There really is no argument. All the videos in the world showing noob C63 drivers wont make the SRT8 faster. Continuing down this road only makes you look like more of a troll. Numbers don’t lie. Stock for Stock the C63 beats the Jeep SRT8.

Have you ever tried to take a turn at high speeds in the Jeep? Let's start a comparison on a track with some turns. Maybe the all-wheel drive will keep the Jeep planted...who knows? I think tracking the car would be much more fun than just going in a straight line. I plan to take mine to the track (road course) way before I run any quarters.

Yeah I did the SRT experience at MSR it was a BLAST that track is very nice I was a noob then and they did not let us push them much but we did get a chance to ride with an instructor but I was put in a 300C SRT8

What are you 16yrs old ? I came from 2x jeep srt8's and although they do not rule they highways you have to give credit for a 4xxxlb flying brick. Oh and up to 60 there is was no way in hell you'll touch one unless you're on dr's, can properly drive, and have perfect weather conditions. Name me another huge awd suv that can pull that off AND have enough cargo space to fit 5 and a full load of snowboard gear ?

Yes, the truck handles well for a truck and even for some cars! But you arent getting .9 G's in it unless your about to flip over.

You'd be suprised. When i had my suspension fully setup I was playing around with a carrera GT - he didnt' give me a thumbs up for keeping up with him ( blew my away when he was on the throttle ) BUT, I can tell he was really suprised to see me be able to easily change lanes behind him at 100+ mph.

Both of these articles (though we know how mis-lead Wiki can be) quote the SRT8 GC as being able to attain a .9g skidpad.

You're a statistic in the making...Ohh sweet Jezzusss! Now you think modded Jeep SRT8 is competition in ANY way towards Carrera GT
Talk about delusions of grandeur, does it ever occur to you SRT8 guys
the superior autos you ran were merely TOYING w/your Cinderblocks & never took you seriously...612HP
Curb Weight 2755lbs
0-60 3.5
1/4 mile 11.12 @ 133+MPH in STOCK FORM

BTW really showing your ricer colors bragging about being able to quickly change lanes @ 100+MPH You're a statistic in the making...

Nice pic...
Yeah, that was my feeling as well. I would be amazed if they are getting .9 G's. The R8 is putting down .9 G's. I just dont see how...

Guys guys, let's all calm down. Surely the people with the Jeeps are just kidding around about them being able to do anything well other than in a straight line until PHYSICS set in. I don't care if you have the torsion bar setup straight from Schumie's Ferrari, that thing's never going to turn in a decent twisty-track time.
I personally don't spend my time sticking feathers up a cat's a$$ and calling it an eagle.
