Well sort of Seems the Jeep SRT8 was a full 5 seconds slower around the Nurburgring than the HHR SS: And the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8's 'Ring time is...

 

Well let's see, an SS with a 5-Speed weighs in at 3,280 lbs, and the Grand Cherokee SRT8 weighs in at 5,150 lbs, I'd say Jeep should be proud that they can get that porker around the 'Ring as fast as they did.

 

I just read that on autoblog...figured someone would have it posted :)

 

and comes with a V8 with almost twice the horsepower at a price over twice that of the SS. Of course from a stand still it will leave the SS behind

 

By about 0.8sec/.44mph in the quarter... Really pretty poor for twice the number of cyls...

Anyone here? If so, great run!

 

Some of those srt8 grand Cherokees our dangerous I work with a guy who has one that is supercharged solid 12 sec suv he is wanting 11s and should be able to get there once he figures out how to launch it

 

I"m surprised they made a Hemi Cherokee. Oh wait, it's Dodge! I really love the Chargers though, especially the new SRT8.

 

I rode in one of those at camp jeep. Holy Crap is all I can say.

 

My wife's brother use to work for Chrysler and his job was to test there "new" cars in the real world he would sometimes have these cars for 3 to 6 months or longer.. he brought the Jeep SRT8 over and let me drive it.... wow.. the test one he had was CRAZY fast.....so much power.. from what he said when it came down to it they actually lowered the power when it finally went into production...

 

I imagine the center of gravity is quite a bit higher in the Jeep.
