Car Forum / Jeep / January 2006what do people think of this?
I've always dreamed of shoehorning a 5.9 into an xj, but with this thing you wouldn't need too, almost xj tough looks with a killer motor, but how would it do on the trail? http://www.fast-autos.net/jeep/jeepsrt8.html  Signature------------------------below this line are simply signatures--------------------- Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat - Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919) Beware the fury of a patient man - John Dryden, Absalom and Achitophel (1681) A military operation involves deception. Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent. Though effective, appear to be ineffective - Sun-tzu, The Art of War. Strategic Assessments There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line - Oscar Levant (1906 - 1972) "The Strength of the Pack is the Wolf, the Strength of the Wolf is the Pack" Well, if we leave the IFS issue out...I'd say probably not too hot. It's built for the street. How about a AEV Hemi in an Unlimited? http://www.aev-conversions.com/HemiFAQ.html So long as you don't have the clearance to go off-road, why not go with a more aerodynamic, all wheel drive Magnum: http://www.fast-autos.net/dodge/magnum14.html God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com http://www.billhughes.com/ > I've always dreamed of shoehorning a 5.9 into an xj, but with this thing you > wouldn't need too, almost xj tough looks with a killer motor, but how would > it do on the trail? http://www.fast-autos.net/jeep/jeepsrt8.html > > -- Robert Brown proclaimed: > I've always dreamed of shoehorning a 5.9 into an xj, but with this thing you > wouldn't need too, almost xj tough looks with a killer motor, but how would > it do on the trail? http://www.fast-autos.net/jeep/jeepsrt8.html This isn't new, the thing has been talked about for over a year, including the strategic positioning of the dual exhaust outlets to prevent someone installing an aftermarket tow setup unless they completely reroute the exhaust system as well. Once magazine noted "if you love the Grand Cherokee, you are going to hate this". More info available here: http://www.srtadrenalinetour.com/ or directly to here: http://www.drivesrt.com/ or here: http://www.thecarconnection.com/Vehicle_Reviews/SUVs_Wagons/2006_Jeep_Grand_Cher okee_SRT8.S181.A9703.html Suspension is even lower than the already too low 2005 Grand. Too bad the rumors that DC were working on a ride height system similar to Rover, Porsche, etc. didn't make it into the thing. It is a street rod truck, and a wickedly fast one, some folks love them. I personally have no problem with Jeep offering models for this crowd as well. Given the money, I'd take the Range Rover that can actually go offroad and is a better handler on pavement, if not as fast in a straight line. An SRT version of the 4 door Wrangler would be of more interest, presuming the offroad capability is left alone. |
