My 94 has 160 k, but I bought it for $1400 so I can't complain. I actually added it up lately and I only have a few thousand less into my grand than what I financed my frs for.

If it were an older 4.0 you'd have a run for your money,

I have a 2011 with the 5.7L and an FR-S. The jeep's quick enough given the size and weight, but the FR-S is quicker from the take off. The jeep just can't move that much weight quickly. With both being autos, they'd probably be neck and neck in a straight line. While my JGC handles much better than most SUVs that I've owned/driven, the FR-S handles much better. Curves are your friends!

The SRT-8 would toast it in the quarter mile.. and handles decent, too.

His is a 4.7 I believe. I'll make sure to race him on the windiest road I can find

I had an 01 Wrangler for a while...by far the worst vehicle I've ever driven on the street. The only advantage was that two people had totaled their cars running into the damn thing and you'd have never been able to tell by looking at the Jeep.

Haha gotta learn to pick your battles. FWIW, that particular thread is a clusterf*ck, not even sure why someone brought up the Griffon concept or what that's supposed to prove.

Dude I wish I had as much free time as you do toni I'd be willing to bet there's not a single vs thread you haven't chimed in on

Touge Monster · 03-07-2013, 05:02 PM

you have a point although, i thought scion vs ferarri would have been the safest bet.

Way different, lol. I kinda miss having the ability to haul some stuff, but I have friends with trucks who like beer :happy0180:
Before the Jeep I had a 92' eclipse turbo before the jeep...once I hopped in the FR-S it quickly reminded me of those days. Although I decided on the AT, I'm having just as much fun as I did with my eclipse.

GregV · 03-09-2013, 04:30 PM

I can confirm that my 2001 V8 GC was definitely faster in a straight line lol
