190e kills jeep wrangler

driving an 85 190e 2.3 with no mods

i was driving home after i dropped off my friend at midnight, this white 5-speed jeep wrangler pulls beside me and starts revving his engine. at the light, i started breaking out laughing because of how ****ty jeeps are. the race was on, once the light hit green, we both floor it. it was pretty but once my engine kicked in at 4,000 rpms, i smoked him. left him in the dust, and started yelling road kill out of the window.

Hey, you don't have to have 150 hp per liter to have a little fun. And, at least with slower vehicles, you pose less of a threat to nearby traffic.

For a '94, my Jeep was pretty quick. 0-60 in about 7 seconds. People under estimated it alot, and it only had the small V8. 318 small block with 220 HP 300 ft-lbs in a 3800 lb truck. Too bad they made the new one so heavy, the Hemi in the ZJ or WJ body would have been fun. I think the fastest it went was 0-60 in 6.8 with 1/8th fuel. Full fuel was an extra 140 lbs. (2WD versions were 200 lbs lighter, they were quick!)

Nice kill though!

"How ****ty Jeeps are"

I can't decide if this statement is ignorant or simply uneducated.
