I think they are bad ass... They have 420hp, but they are pretty expensive..anyone ever drive one?

wish my mom had the srt8 instead of the gay larado. lol
I know they roll out hard in 1st gear. But they have a tow rating of 0lbs due to the center mount exhaust. Seems silly to me.

I want one bad!
This is a true story my dad watched it happen.... Guy talks his wife into letting him get a new C6. She agree's based on she can go out and get any new car she wants. She ends up with a SRT8 Cherokee. Now keep in mind I'm sure a driver mod would have helped this outcome but the wife and husband decide to have a little grudge match.... Yep, you guessed it she spanked him hard. Not sure how long they ran or speed they went up to but my dad said the Jeep left him like the C6 was turned off...
Again chalk that up to auto vs. 6 speed, all wheel drive vs. traction control turned off, but nevertheless the outcome was what it was.

I've got an 06. I love it. You can find them used with pretty low mileage for 30k or under.

they are beasts! run low 13s all day and will outrun the trailblazer ss hands down stock for stock. 0-60 in mid to high 4's. iv drivin one and they are very very comfortable! the seats are some of the best there is. there awd is insane and they handle like there on rails. there tow rating is about 3k BUT.........theres alot of guys that haul 5-6k easily on cherokeesrt8.com with custom class 3 hitches. you can get them in the low 20's now. the trailblazer does have more interior room though

Lol. That and gas mileage. My friend just bought an 08 tbss. It's defintely nice, but I give the jeep a slight edge. That's just my biased opinion ;)

The interior doesn't look that much different from my buddys '04 Grand Cherokee

Do want. Hopefully one of these will replace my 01 Grand Cherokee when the time comes.

same here........its my next vehicle when the time comes. a new 08 would be in my driveway but we couldnt make numbersw work on my denali. i was looking at the tbss too but the driving experience is completely different. the tbss is cheaper and has a little more room and more of a sleeper per say but drive one and youll understand. a tune and headers puts you low to mid 12's easy. and talk about a red light warrior!!

Time for Mr. Grammar to step in here. Furthermore, "exhaust" is spelled wrong in your sig. Nice car though! :cool:

I don't mean to come off as an ass. Just kind of a freak about spelling/grammar. Specifically if someone uses Firefox, which underlines in red the words you mess up on. :secret: Some things bother me that don't bother other people, and vice versa. Bottom line is, I'm just joshin' him and we have the same car. Impala owners can josh each other. :cool:
