Jeep SRT8 Vs SS/TC E47

Finally got the chance to see Fast and Furious last night (so outrageous its funny) and go figure on my cruise home a guy in a Jeep SRT8 pulls up next to me and immediately I hear a loud supercharger, cams, and exhaust.. I think ok this should be good, I knew they make good power stock but are heavy.

We hit freeway and he turns on his gopro, I honk it off at ~45 in second and my weight advantage plus him roasting tires gives me a car or so till 90-100 at which point he walked past me and had maybe 2 cars before he shut down at 120. gave each other thumbs up and parted ways. no clue how much power he had but i would guess ~80+ over stock easy, sounded mean! mods are in my sig.

side story: I am about dead even with a friends built LS with s252 on ~10-12psi and E85, drivers race (he made 347whp 296tq). EFR time? ha

nice, if he has exhaust, supercharger, cams, he's easily at 600+ wheel.

not sure how they'd fair from a 40 roll.

nice man, ya a stock one would be less fun ha.

vortech makes a kit to make it 560hp, add cams and exhaust and bam beast mode. not too cheap though.

I don't think anyone would consider a LS engine "built" if it cant hit over 300 ft-lbs at the wheels.....

-hmm... roasting the tires? it's AWD...hmmm. yeah, from a roll, they're a bit heavy- SC should have made up for that though. from a dig though, most likely would have killed you.

If hes roasting tires then hes a 10 sec Jeep. I ran a 10 sec jeep from 40mph, lost horribly. built engine and nitrous. pretty sure he didnt even use the nos.

didnt know they were AWD, regardless **** was spinning...hmmmmm (dafuq?)

he did kill me, i think he spun too much and is heavy so i got a little jump from 45-~90.

my dad had one before he traded for the 300c srt8. from a dig yes he would pull on me, til about 60 then i would catch up and pull about a car on him, but thats it. those srt8's are quick for there size and if the guy you raced was supercharged and spinning tires, he most likely is pushing closer to 700+ whp. i dont think 600whp would roast tires.

you don't think almost doubling the wheel horsepower would spin the tires? lol

they probably only put down about 360 to the wheels stock.

there is no point to swap AWD to RWD, unless they drift. which i doubt in a jeep. but there is a RWD jsrt8 doing wheelies somewhere i seen on youtube.
