I noticed a srt8 jeep in front of me, due to it's distinctive corvette style exhaust. We met up at the light and i had the jump for about 2 or 3 seconds and he shot past me. At the next light we went at it again this time with my overdrive off and he smoked me again. Now im saving up to get one of those. LOL

THE LOWEST PRICE IVE FOUND FOR ONE WAS 32K. No way that i would trade my MM For it though. My extended warranty said that if i do anything as much as put on a cold air intake that my warranty is voided. but i want to release it's power there must be a loophole

I test drove a SRT8 Cherokee overnight, It is very Impressive, but the 11 mpg on premium fuel made me take it back early. Nice conversation piece.

Does Logan still have his?
they are really fast trucks, and definately something you dont want to mess with unless your boosted.
Plus, they are AWD, so they get off the line real quick.

something you dont want to mess with unless your boosted.
And even then, only from a roll. They are a tough customer!

Go over to their web forum and look at their complaints, I was looking for rear end help for my Jeep and fell into a mess. Tom

A friend at work has one. You'd be foolish to race it if you are stock or even with a tune and a few other mods.

There is a loop hole.....just take off the mods when you go in for service....if you do a tune and CAI it would take a total of less than 10 minutes to go back to stock.....but even that wont help you stay up with an SRT8.

chrystler finally made a fast car :D
Hope it dont vibrate like its going to blow up like my sisters sebring used to.
If they werent so super expensive i was thinking about getting one, but the way the window is in the new GC, you wear the window, instead of looking through it. its just to close.

Too bad it is a chrystler product and will probably blow eight transmissions in the time it would take for one of ours to blow... (late) Chrystler products are horrible, they look good and that is about it

Put a supercharger on your car with some 4.10 gears and a 3000/3500 stall torque converter and you will smoke him....

The Chrysler mini vans had trans problems, but so do lots of FWD cars. I wouldn't typify the heavy hitting Mopar hemi stuff w/ what the minivans were doing in the late 90s
