When I was looking for a dart before my FR-S I saw a SRT Durango (this jeep has the same motor) and the sales man said it will pull 1/4 mile times well into the 11s and can even beat some stock GTR's. I laughed and thought man this guy is desperate for a sale... Looks like he wasn't lying...

Granted they bought had a rough start on this one but that is crazy fast for a full sized SUV.

Yeah thats for sure the worst part is that jeep bone stock can beat a serious number of high end sports cars from the you tube vids I saw it can consistantly beat the R8, SLR, and M5. The GTR is a wash because with 4wd it all depends on the start the others can have a better start but it can catch them if the GTR gets out front it normally stays there.

Yeah awd is very tricky to launch consistently that same Jeeps best time was a 10.6. But the supercharger is no longer standard and has to be bought separate for about $3k on new models but with just the hemi v8 it still runs 12.6 not too bad for an SUV. I think nos was used for the 10.6. But Talk about a sleeper a with new model 10 sec Jeep.

AWD launch in a stock GT-R is a joke...there's this little thing called launch control. Makes any wannabe 1/4 mile king look good, all one has to worry about is reaction times. My guess is dude left in LC too long, there is a window that you have to let off the brakes by when doing launch control...might explain how he kinda lurched off the line.

I don't know anything about launch control really I've been trying to find time to read up on it. From my experience in the past launching a awd had been a challenge for me. And yeah that gtr can go almost 2sec faster which would have been a crushing win over that Jeep. I just like the idea of a company doing something just because they can those Jeeps had nothing but problems and where only made for about one year but still a cool idea and I'm glad to see them give it another shot.

I might be getting the gt86 trd edition from my friend I'll trade him for mine and offer up some cash but he really hates the way it looks and has decided to sell it once he gets it here for an FR-S.

Yeah if I get the car you can have it I don't like the way it looks either. Still talking to him some people have offered crazy amounts for it but I told him to wait till he sees the money. One guy said 40k cash for it lol.

Hooray! PPE Engineering is installing my high flow cat pipe and cat back exhaust, as well as the new I Performance drop in air filter. I hope they can install their equal length headers.

Their air intake is still under development, so I am still waiting for it.
