What can I say, I have no money yet spend more of it than the Don himself,

Do I need a car like this, NO
Do I want a car like this, OH YA!!!

It's mine I officially bought it






0-60 mph in under 5 seconds (wet or dry)
Quicker than Porsche Cayenne Turbo, BMW X5
Top speed: 155+ MPH Quarter mile: Mid-13's
0-100-0 mph in the low 19-second range


6.1-Liter, (370 cu in) HEMI,
10.3:1 Compression
420 bhp @ 6200 rpm
420 lb.-ft. @ 4800 rpm


Reinforced engine block,
Forged Steel Crankshaft,
High-Strength Powdered-Metal Connecting Rods,
Floating-Pin Pistons (cooled by oil squirters),
Oil pan modified to manage oil return to the pan sump at high engine speeds.
New higher-flow Cylinder Heads, reshaped ports for maximized air flow.
Larger-diameter valves (intake and exhaust valve stems are hollow, and the exhaust valve stems are filled with sodium to help dissipate heat more efficiently)
A specially designed intake manifold and fresh-air induction system (the intake manifold was designed with larger-diameter and shorter runners for higher-speed tuning). Performance-oriented Camshaft, peak power output to 6,000 RPM.
Headers with individual tubes encased in a Stainless Steel shell,
Exhaust is 2.75-inch with 4-inch chrome tips.
A special upgraded Torque Converter

W5A580 5-speed automatic.
Adaptive Electronic Control, Performance Tuned AutoStick “Driver-Interactive Manual Control”, Electronically modulated torque converter clutch.

Under normal driving conditions, from 5 percent to 10 percent of torque is directed to the front wheels, but as much of the 6.1-liter HEMI’s torque as needed can be directed forward when additional traction or stability is required. Remaining torque is sent via a heavy-duty driveshaft designed for the European Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel model, to a Dana 44 rear differential upgraded with a larger ring gear within a new axle housing.



Forged 20-inch Five-Spoke Aluminum Wheels with High-Performance Goodyear W-rated Four-Season tires with Run-Flat capability.
Tire dimensions are 255/45/20 in the front, and a massive 285/40/20 in the rear.

All four wheels feature Four-Piston Performance Brake Calipers developed by Brembo, finished in Gloss Black. Under braking, these calipers clamp down on 360 x 32mm vented rotors up front, with 350 x 28mm vented rotors in the rear.

This is a nice little Vid

 

Congrats on the new ride.

Are you keeping your L?

 

Rob, I'm jealous! I love them

 

Marry me and it's yours

Thanks LA, Thanks SS

We'll see, I'm going to try at least for a while ? These payments are going to be TUFF, like another mortgage payment tuff, so we'll see ??? I was really hoping for Ford to come through with the Adrenalin (spelling...) I would love to have one vehicle fullfill all my needs, and when I read up on this thing after my friend bought one I think I may have found my answer. Expensive but look at what you get in return --> "EVERYTHING" <--, and only 150 came to NY State out of 2157 made so I do believe these bad boys are going to keep some decent value. I also think it's going to be a real awsome vehicle, the inside is real nice, Recarro (sp) Seats, (Leather and Swede) ever option known to man kind, the kid can watch movies, play Video Games, we can take it up to the Mountains (amof I'm doing that in July), drive it in the snow, and even have a ton of fun on the streets blowing away Stock Lightning, baw hah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah a....


Here's there Commericial for it, pretty cool....

branch of your money tree,,lol

nice rig brother

let the mods begin,,lol

just alittle shot should get her in the 12's

 

nice buy, check out some of the SRT8 WK forums.

I'm sure you'll love it... I WANT ONE TOO!

CAIs are out, a company is making headers, check out the GSM ESP/FAN mod for the SRT8 http://www.cherokeesrt8.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76
It completely disables the computer crap that holds back any of the power at launch... which means with it you can get sideways on the launch with 4WD. If you wanna start spending big bucks I believe Hennesey makes a torque converter (lot of cash) I have seen ported heads, etc...

This is pretty sexy too



Sorry, once I get in the car mood I just post up crap left and right... I find myself looking on autotrader/ebay at lightnings and srt8s for periods of time that I would rather not disclose... Maybe I should just buy a plane ticket to your house, steal a car trailer... then put your srt8 on the trailer and tow it off with your L.

 

Not bad Rob....not bad at all

So...I wonder how many came to Washington State ????

 

NICE Rob Congrats!!! your gonna love the truck my cuz picked one up.. but your going to hate the gas mileage on it.. be prepared to whip out the plastice alot more at the pump then the Lightning.. my cuz is having regrets on ever buying it.. but good luck Bro!!

Rob, make sure you check out wkjeeps.com too if you haven't... and sign up and come stop by the speedfreaks forum at http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/forums...splay.php?f=17

That's where I spend my time with my heads, cam, and bolt on 5.9 grand cherokee.

 

I received my Jeep SRT-8 in April. Although there are a couple of things I don’t like about the GC SRT-8, I think team SRT did a very good job in designing the GC SRT-8. The first thing I noticed when I took my first drive in the GC SRT-8, was the immense grip it had. It just sticks to the ground like white on rice. I felt extremely safe driving in wet conditions.

Plus, the way this vehicle launches is incredible. It shoots off like a bullet. I was originally going to get the Adrenaline because I do think it would have been the better performance vehicle between the two had the Adrenaline been produced, but when the Adrenaline was cancelled, it was a no-brainer on which one to get. GSM has a supercharger that will be released very soon for the GC SRT-8 and that’s on the top of my list for performance mods for my GC SRT-8.

Although if someone released a turbo setup that was priced reasonably in the near future unlike what some other sellers will be charging for a turbo setup for the Jeep *cough* Hennessey *cough,* then I would probably go with the turbo setup instead because I could just imagine the fun driving an AWD beast like the GC SRT-8 with a turbo setup.

I have visited pretty much every GC SRT-8 forum on the web and for me, I think http://www.srt8oc.com/ is the best GC SRT-8 forum currently on the web. I have been a forum member on there site for several months. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the other GC SRT-8 forums on the net (I still visit them from time to time), but I just prefer from experience the srt8oc.com site than the others. Have fun with your new ride!

P.S- The 300C SRT-8 seems to be top performer overall among the SRT-8 6.1 liter family of vehicles. I haven’t read or seen a stock GC SRT-8 go lower than a 13.1 in the quarter-mile, but there has been plenty of stock 300C’s that I have gotten better quarter-mile times than a 13.1.

 

Rob, your out of control!

By the way the "ULTIMATE HEMI" is a 426cu

 

Awesome Rob !!!

I really like those also..........but I must resist........have to pay off bills.........must buy a new house in 5 years

 

Thanks again everyone

Joined both Forums, Thanks Robert, and btw that is DEF my first Mod
Ya that WK Jeep . Com is what convinced me to buy this (lol)

Nihilism, Nice Ride (Thumbs Up)
Low 13's are a great starting point for the Family Vehicle ; o ), Thanks for the info. The more I read the more I'm convinced this GC was the right move for me, everyone boast about the traction WET AND DRY and for me and the NY winters it's going to be perfect, well other than having to pay for it.....

Time for some yard work, Thanks Again All

BTW,
What an awesome interior and dash this thing has too, WOO HOO!!!



Love the way you can shift it with a little slap from side to side too ; o )
