Who's got a GC SRT8 in this place?

Just wondering if any of you guys have a Grand Cherokee SRT8??

I just bought a 2007 Black/Black over the phone and should take delivery by beginning of November. I couldn't believe how much demand there is for these SUVs.. The dealership was only allocated 1 for the year!!! Just 1!! I had to pull some serious strings to get it, but, it's mine.

Now, I need to start prototyping a TT kit for it.. LOL..

I tried for 3 weeks to find a zero mile (new) black or silver one last month during the huge 5K discount. I had to look 2,000 miles away. I came up short and was very disappointed as the wife went for an Acura MDX again. Oh well.

I was going to get one and ship it to Hennessy for a turbo upgrade.

I drove the E55, and the rest is history.


Enjoy your Uber-Jeep !!!
