Test Drive

[citric acid xr6t]

Went for a test drive yesterday as the lease is finally near its end on the T. Just looking around to see whats out there in the SUV market as that's what I will probably be moving to. Turbo Terry was looking pretty good until this test drive.

Jeep Cherokee SRT8 (street racing technology chrysler's version of FPV)

6.1 litre hemi engine

313kw @ 6000rpm

569nm @ 4800rpm

0-100 in 5.1 seconds

5sp Auto

The sound of this engine at full song is just pure horn you could not get the grin off my face.

This thing just flew, I was heading along the Western freeway in Brisbane and the Late model camira SS ute driver's look on his face as he caught up when I turned off at Kenmore was priceless.

Borrowed these pics from the Jeep SRT8 forum as I did not have my camera with me.

That looks very nice. Whats the price for something like that????

[citric acid xr6t]

RRP is $92,000 on the road. Not cheap but certainly way cheaper than a Porche Cayenne turbo or a Range Rover Sport which this thing is supposed to be quicker than. I forgot to add in the above post that they run a 13.1 qtr mile bog standard.

Nice looking car but I have always been dubious of the build quality and general reliability of Jeep. the electrical system is a nightmare in the last few modles but they may have fixed it now

Its a bloody Jeep big fella!!!!

Get a turbo terri - there should be some very good deals on a Ghia given they haven't been selling many. Spend $3k on it with some injectors, a dump pipe and an Edit and lay waste to the Jeep I say still with probably $25k in your pocket at least. The fuel bills will be cheaper also!
