Jeep SRT-8

The Jeep SRT-8 is Jeep's flag-ship Grand Cherokee model. Following in the footsteps the Viper laid down with the SRT model, DC has tweaked the Grand Cherokee into a sport-car killer with muscle-car credentials. Not a hard path to follow, really, it just takes some engineering guts to step up and make such a model.
Let's see if the Jeep SRT-8 specs can tell us a bit about this wolf-in wolf's clothing, shall we? Measurement Result Thoughts 0 - 60 MPH 4.9 seconds Porsche-eating quick 60 - 0 MPH 125 feet Life-saving shortness Top Speed 155 MPH Electronically governed Skidpad 0.92 g Leave your lattes home 0 - 100 - 0 MPH 19.3 seconds Slower than a Cobra, but, come on Towing 3,500 lbs But, why...? When Jeep decided they wanted a halo/image machine, they started with the range-topping Grand Cherokee and simply applied an age-old formula - lower it, slip on big wheels and tires, give it enough power to melt said tires, then tweak the styling a smidge. Build it and they will come. In this case, they will line up. And it's worth it with specs like those. The SRT-8 is destined to become a collector's item, no question. Those numbers are possible because Jeep dropped a 6.1 litre V8 under the hood of the SRT-8. Developing 420 bhp and 420 lb-ft of torque, this Hemi engine is mated to a 5 speed auto tranny (with AutoStick). Power is put to the road through a full-time AWD t-case (with no low-range) capable of splitting the power evenly from front to rear through an electronically controlled clutch pack in the center differential. The front and rear axles have open differentials. Buy a Jeep SRT-8 - learn to drive
