Default Cherokee SRT8

So, I was driving home tonight and this Jeep Cherokee SRT8 is next to me, playing around, wanting me to race. I just kinda laughed to myself thinking its just a jeep how fast could it be. Didn't race him or anything, but now I'm looking up the stats of it. Are these things really asfast as the times I'm reading? They have 6.1L V8, 16 valve, 420 hp @ 6200 rpm. I'm reading 0-60 in under 5 seconds. wow

At Milan there is a stock SRT8 Jeep that runs 13.1 consistently. He would waste you if you're stock.With that AWDthose things launch like Evo's and STi's and they have the top-end to stay ahead of you.

You aren't kidding about the launch part. I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.2 liter and all 4 tires grabbed RIGHT NOW.
