SRT-8 Jeeps run high 13s there? What's your elevation? They run 13.0-13.5 here and trap 100-102.

I can totally see you embarrassing him considering you have a 115+ trap car, but in that short of a run it should've been closer. Makes me wonder if he had some lag on the downshift or something....Ah well, doesn't matter, still a good kill regardless of what did or did not happen. I'd love to see a vid of you guys going from a dig too.

I agree, Morbid. They are low-low 13 tanks, easily high 12 capable. But you know how it goes, most people hit the track once, maybe twice, then never again. They figure that's the best its going to do and then that's the end of it.

I'd like to see another run of the OP and an SRT-8 GC just for good measure.

Um no they don't. I've seen quite a few there click off low 13s stock. I'm tired of hearing this BS about Fontana (heard it about SRT8s, new SSs, etc...) but every time I'm there I see otherwise. Unless of course it's the middle of summer, then everything is running like ****.

I took my Denali there back before I did mods on it and clicked a 14.8 @ 94 and then a 14 flat @ 96.3 with just a ****ty Diablo tune I did myself and a CAI, this was back in September of 2007.

The Jeep SRT8s are a hell of a lot faster than a heavy *** Yukon Denali.

Edit: Also, elevation is 1115 feet.

Hell, I figured Fontana was at some crazy elevation the way he made it sound. 1115 is getting close to just right.
