Guest Mushijobah Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 It is a quality vehicle. The new hemi is a very solid engine, and for that price I am sure it is quality material! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Driven quite a few of them at work and I think they're great. Hell of a lot of fun too drive, just not good on gas and rear seat passangers may find the ride a little stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 It'll leave cayenne's in the dust. Its got that All wheel launch that is just...titties. I drooled over the 98 5.9 limiteds and this SRT is just sex. I have driven the WK (same platform with the 4.7l) and it is nice. They did a lot of work on sound deadening over the WJ's. Lots of usable space, that I wish I had now. Let the chrysler guys tweak the suspension and toss in a 6.1L and OMGHI2URASS. The TJ has better offroad capabilities, but 99% of them aren't going to see worse than the mall parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 check out cherokeesrt8.com and srt8oc.org for more info on them. Gas Mileage is the only downfall I see on them. I was going to get one as a daily driver, but I think I'm going to go with a 5.7l Quadra-Drive Limited instead. It's got the multi displacement system, gets better gas mileage, and is more practical. If I were to ever get rid of the Z06, I'd probably get an SRT8 GC, and find a way to slap a Kenne Bell on that thing. Can you imagine the launches you could do with a setup like that. Oh, and they claim the transmission is good for 600 HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I saw a black one on 70 a couple weeks ago. It was real nice. Too bad I can't afford one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 The Goodyear RSA's are decent in the snow. Keep in mind that all the TCS and ESC development goes on with stock tires. I think you'll be fine, especially with the type of snow Columbus gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 They are some very nice SUV's. I love them. I have been trying to talk my wife into letting me get one to tow my Charger with. And yes even though it has the center exhaust, Mopar made a tow hitch for it that works. I know towing they get around 10 mpg. Even though I would die for one, I think I will be waiting for the diesel one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
