Default Battle of the Grocery Getters

My brother and I decided to run today for the hell of it. My wife's DD being an 05 Jeep Cherokee, 5.7 Hemi, Full time AWD. Vs my brothers 2010 Ford Fusion, 3.0 V6. We went from 0-100 mph. Jeep jumped out good to start, but by 90 mph the Ford was already closing the gap. By 100 mph he was beside me and still pulling. If this link doesn't work I'll try something different....edit, have to copy and paste for now. I'm on my phone in a bad area right now.

LOL Nice. Atco just had the Grocery getter nationals a few weeks ago. Cars had to be slower than 17 seconds to compete. You guys might have made the cut.

Lmfao, that was a little over a 1/4 mile too, probably closer to 3/4 of a mile, lol. We had been out shooting, so figured since we were out there we'd try out his new car-camera. Did better than I thought.

Greddy, I'm going to have to turn up the pressure on my cousin, man. He isn't a fan of street races, but it's bound to happen. He'll wipe the floor with me though I'm sure.

I wish they'd do a grocery getter challenge down here. Sounds like fun. I think that Jeep might be closer to a 16 than a 17, but I'm sure I could slow it down a little lol

A guy out here has one of those special jeeps, he has a supercharger on it too. It's pretty fast and surprises a few people. It's about 650 hp.

SRT Jeep? Those are quick without a blower, downright nasty with one. I'd love to have one, just not as a DD.

yes, SRT jeep. Around here everybody uses an SUV as an SUV and they pull stuff and go up in the mountains and actually get them dirty no matter what version. Just one problem with the SRT Jeep is the location of the exhaust which the tailpipe comes out where a trailer hitch should be is located.

I've never been in his Jeep but this thing sounds.....NASTY. Did I mention that it is bone stock looking?
