WOW!!! 
Re: Jeep smokes a GTO - 07/25/06 04:19 PM
I'd hardly call it "smoking him"...looked pretty even for about 2/3 of the race. Could have been the camera's perspective though.

And by smoking him he means by 6 inches.

If you get beat by a 4x4 in a quarter mile run, consider yourself smoked, thumped, waxed, yada, yada, yada.

So the type of vehicle it is dictates what a smoking is? WTF x11000000000000000000000000000? The SRT8 has 420hp. How else was the outcome supposed to be?

And 5000ish pounds.
Edit: And aren't the 6.0 GTOs 400hp?

...and the GTO has 400HP. The SRT8 should get mid to upper 13's and the GTO should get low 13's. The GTO got "SMOKED" because he should have easily beat him, he just couldn't drive.

I aree the Goat driver sucked, but the Jeep is capable of mid 13's without an issue. During joint brake testing with DCX, I recorded multiple 13.2's on the V-box. But 415ft-lbs and a killer AWD will do that. We were pulling 1G+ on the launch....and -1.3 in braking.

SRT-8's are actually running more than 420hp stock. They dynos show them running a good 440-450hp. Very impressive stuff. 
Re: Jeep smokes a GTO - 07/25/06 11:08 PM
yeah I don't think they are designed to go off road at all, infact I think they have a lowered suspension for performance. I also don't think that he "Smoked" the GTO it looks like they were tied the whole way. I mean hell the SRT 300c weighs just as much and is just as fast as a gto

It doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning is winning.
