cygnusx1 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I just drove my friend SRT8 Jeep. It was in the shop most of the Summer getting loaded with custom heads, cams, intake exhaust, supercharger, and tuning. It made 679whp on the 50-shot NOS. He is running 8psi with methanol. Here are some pics and a video clip of the speedometer while I stepped on it at about 40mph. I ran out of room on the road very quickly. The front end gets very light when the pedal is all the way down! VIDEO: 40mph to almost 80 in about 3 seconds. P1040785.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 these things are no joke!! That looks sick. I ran one in the Z thinking it was just a Jeep. I didn't get in the right gear for a "real" race and he smoked me. By the time i tried to up shift to get him he was gone. This one sounds awesome.

MAG58 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Ok, now the real question is, who is gonna man up and put the 6.1L SRT motor in a Z car? Any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowCarbZ Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 That Grand is high on my "want" list sometime in my life... I'm a die hard Jeep guy, but that things is plain mean and disguised very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 No vid on that one, just sound. Way wicked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 The video shows the speedo going from 40 to about 75 mph in under 3 seconds. I didn't even keep my foot in it the whole time. It's like 40-80 in a blip of the throttle. I can try to upload it in a different format. BTW: This was with NO NOS!!

Darrel Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 We had one at our track dy in colorado this past saturday. He was leaking auto tranny fluid after the first session. He was really pusing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLS357 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I worked at Jeep dealers my whole automotive career. I dont know how many 25 minute PDI's (post delivery inspection) I did on the SRT8's. Leave for drive with 1 mile on it; come back with 25 and the smell of burnt brakes. :burnout:They go real good stock. I have the old super Jeep. The 5.9 Limited. Although it's not as fast as an SRT, it still has no problems with Mustangs and Vettes until you get to 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
