LS1 Vs. SRT-8 Jeep

**MikeSomething** · 07-22-2007, 09:25 AM

I'm hangin w/ friends in a lot and as we're looking at a ProCharged LT1 this Jeep pulls in right next to us and this kid gets out and he's hyper as anything checkin out are cars and talkin about his previous races. So I decide to race him from a roll down the road a bit. We do a 50roll and I beat him by a fender and we catch a light together and decide to do a dig. Well, the light turns green and I must've fallen asleep at the wheel, my reaction time was no less then 2sec later than him and he was already 2cars ahead and just as I started pullin him in he hit the brakes and took off at the next exit. Cool guy, we both waived and everything. Mods in sig... Oh, BTW, he said it's AWD but like 80% rear and %20 up front or something.

LS1 Z/28 = 1
SRT-8 Jeep = 1

Nice runs, nice car! From a dig is their advantage, they trap about 5mph less than the SRT-8 sedans. What times have you ran and dyno?

Yea, the kid said it ran 13.1 stock.

5/95 is actually the split and it just seemed like you slept. They cut 1.8s bone stock man. They're sick fast for a truck.... Not much on the roll though.

that jeep was pretty sick off the line,totally unexpected the way it launched.
the first race from a roll was nice but its to bad u guys ended up catching that traffic light so soon after starting and had to hit the brakes

**GetSome04** · 07-23-2007, 07:40 AM

those things only get 12 mpg but a fast suv for only 40k

**02sunsetorangeZ** · 07-23-2007, 08:04 AM

damn i did'nt know they got that bad of gas mileage... i would rather have an f-body.. but none the less good family car! i would either get that or an srt-8charger when i start a family... lol.

Hey EE, what kinda pwoer do you think a Evo 8 with a boost controller, BOV exhaust intake and a hige front mount could be making? i know thats a hard question to answer but do you have any idea.

It completely depends upon the year and if its tuned or not. The tuning is KEY. A full bolt on EVO untuned will lose one thats tuned with just exhaust.

From what youve told me, Im sure its slow because an intercooler before cams, 02, mani (and god forbid a tune) shows the person has no idea how to mod the car properly. Find out what year it is, if its tuned (custom?), and if those are his exact mods and I can tell you a very good estimate of power

isn't this called hijacking a thread? lol

**2000T/A Guru** · 07-25-2007, 07:14 AM

sorry about the hijack, i know he doesnt have cams i used to ride in a cammed evo all the time, once he put the cams in it that thing was like a different car.
