Default New "World's Fastest Jeep SRT8" - 9.17 @ 151 MPH!

For those that are into Jeeps, here's what a full interior Jeep did this past weekend. He'll likely be in the 8's by Fall.

Your car will hold much longer. Ask a lady is BIG & FAST or SEXY & ENDURANCE better?

Well, it's lasted 42 years without breaking, so I guess it can be fast and have endurance too.

Have you had your xf for 42 yrs?
I am just saying, those overly modded cars will not last. 8/10 supras, tuned golfs, skylines, etc all break down due to transmission or whatever.

Anyone with the $$$ to build a nearly 8-second JEEP (!!!) is clearly not worried about reliability, or $$$.

I think it's absolutely fantastic. You would never be late for a soccer game, ever.

That Jeep isn't likely overly modded. Modded, yes, but not to any extreme.

Imagine the petrol account needed for that bugger. Our petrol cost about 3 times more than yours!

Sometimes it feel like I have since my Crossfire reminds me so much of my old AMX.
But I fully agree with ya, when you start modding them to the Max for performance, don't expect them to last forever.
That's one of the reasons I usually keep most of my cars mechanically stock.

You ain't kiddin, that's for sure.

I was at a good friends house Sunday for dinner, and his boss was there too. He was driving the "Package" your style motor comes in.
Pretty impressive "Package".
