Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8
 
I've decided this is what I want.

Anyone have any experiences with this? Insight on these?


If anyone sees any for sale in this area, please let me know. I've seen some ridiculous prices like 39k. I'm looking for under 30k since its used.

sick man

99MustangGT 09-01-2010 07:08 PM

That thing is mean looking all blacked out. Hope you get to purchase that bad ass SUV.

mustangV6_04 09-01-2010 07:31 PM

Fast as fuck!! Saw some one at the strip running low 13s

08mustang_gt 09-01-2010 08:05 PM

They have trans problems from what I've heard from local guys that have 'em.

But otherwise they are fucking sick ass cars. Will eat a Termi's ass from a dig, so very very well worth the money for what it is.

zigzagg321 09-01-2010 08:48 PM

those are large and fast, nice choice.

Deathdiesel 09-01-2010 08:51 PM

Duuude, that thing looks perty.

I hope by this you mean the the jeep will be right behind the termi because with a average driver and good tires (improtant) a termi should have no problem beating a low 13 sec vehicle becuase they run high 12s

the jeep will hop off the line quicker though

00blkstanggt 09-02-2010 07:33 AM

You should definitely be able to find that for around 30k or less. 39k is kinda ridiculous. I know it's a chevy, but have you looked at the newer Trailblazer SS? There nice looking SUVs plus having a LS motor is nice. I believe it has around 410hp. I know you can find those pretty cheap.

probiker427 09-02-2010 07:43 AM

i just searched my area, north jersey and all im finding is like 30,xxx miles for $32-33 grand. and thats the lowest

Steeda97 09-02-2010 08:28 AM

I'm pretty set on this one. I change my mind often but I really like this car. Its practical. I will continue searching. Thanks guys.

Lazerred6 09-02-2010 08:33 AM

You have to get a black one man..... with black wheels. The only part that can have color will be the SRT badge

pretty much the exact one that you posted the picture of

Switch 09-02-2010 10:22 AM

I love the SRT-8 jeeps, definitely a good choice. As was stated before, I've heard they can have transmission problems but those usually only show up if you mod/race a lot.

Nope. We have an SRT-8 (only mod is a CAI and tune) that hangs out with the local car group and he could eat my ass from a dig everytime all the way up to about 100-110 or so and then I'd start to pull busses on him. In a 1/4 mile a termi may win with an experienced driver, but it'd be pretty damn close.

The termi had just a 3.1 upper and diablo at that time, so it was still fairly stock.

I thought I posted the same suggestion yesterday, guess it didn't go through.

haha, must not have cause I didn't see it. Anyways, the Trailblazer is a good 10k cheaper, about 30hp less, but lighter and better gas mileage.

01FR500 09-02-2010 03:10 PM

There was a kid here that had one looked exactly like that, Badass SUV. I would recommend it.

Dave04Mustang 09-02-2010 09:20 PM

that looks badass

4.6 Love 09-02-2010 10:33 PM

nice...

Black Sunshine 09-03-2010 11:16 AM

I like. You should get either black or red. :)

Steeda97 09-03-2010 11:25 AM

Black for sure.

08mustang_gt 09-03-2010 12:08 PM

Blue for 25,500?

Steeda97 09-03-2010 03:46 PM

Thats perfect. Too bad its in southern california. lol.

99MustangGT 09-03-2010 04:26 PM

I'm not going to lie, the blue one just isn't the same.

true story there, that black one looks like the definition of bad ass for an SUV, and with a few mods they will definitely surprise a few people for sure.

Steeda97 09-04-2010 08:48 AM

Eh im not looking to mod it. I'm really just going to keep it stock, and i want a stock one.


I say that now, but who knows.

WNRacing 09-04-2010 09:43 PM

You're going to keep the GT and play with it right? I mean, you know you're going to miss it if you sell it.. Driving an SUV is no fun, I don't care how "fast" it is, it's still a fat pig that doesn't handle anything like your 'Stang and I promise, you WILL miss it. I know you are going to say that you're bored with it, whatever. I aboslutely promise you that you will miss the GT, no doubt.

And JM2C... I think I'd stay away from Chrysler. As much as I hate to say it, I think I'd rather have the TB SS. The new Explorer's are extremely nice too.

I have the GT now and i don't play with it. I drive it maybe 15 miles a week, at most. Its absolutely boring. I have zero interest in it. I've had it for 4 years now. There is not a chance I will miss it. I am ready to move on.

probiker427 09-05-2010 08:36 AM

any progress on the search steeda?

Steeda97 09-05-2010 09:33 AM

I went out yesterday to a couple jeep dealerships and looked around. Didn't find anything. My next step is actually asking them to track one down for me, i'm sure they can find one. I wanted to wait to do that, since they won't leave me alone after that.

I've been looking online and I joined a SRT8 forum hoping to find one for sale in the area. I'm not in any rush, but i am definitely hoping to find one.
