Cherokee (or Grand Cherokee) vs MP3

[Kooldino]

So last night I pulled out of my neighborhood. Shortly thereafter, a Jeep (Grand?) Cherokee got on my @ss. He stayed on my tail until we got to a 2 lane highway...and then pulled up next to me. At first I thought it was just someone I knew trying to get my attentinon. But after a minute (and him revving his engine) I figured out that he wanted to race.

SO I drop it into 4th and hit it. He was obviously flooring it too. I was slowly pulling away from him..shifted into 5th, and started to pull away a bit more...but eventually I caught up to a car in my lane in front of me...so I had to brake. I caught back up to him, and we went again...and again I was limited by the person in front of me. We did this once more, and I was getting annoyed. I'd pull about a half of a car length on him in the 7 or 8 seconds we'd race each time, but I'd have to stop for people in front of me.

I tried to follow him after that to race him on another road, but he didn't seem interested. Shame...I definitely would have burned him.

Man, you'd figure people with SUVs should be the last people who would want to lead foot it... he probably burned $10 in gas racing you...

I own a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it is faster than my MP3, and the Jeep has a V6.

here we go with this s*** again every time i check on this website someone raced someone. Why don't you guys stop beating on ur s*** so much and there wouldn't be articles like fu**ed tranny and engine blown.

ok grandpa ezrider1026...here's your warm cup of milk...

 

[tritonheat1]

Sorry guys, i believe that a jeep cherokee can take the MP3 from 0-60mph but, the cherokee is not a V-6, it's a I-4cyl,I-6cyl-V-8cyl. It's actually .1sec faster than the civic Si in 0-60 and 1/4mile. But on the longrun the cherokee will just see the taillights of the Mp3 until, the Mp3 loses the Cherokee. Here, this will put a end to it http://www.autosite.com/new/grabbag/perform/2712.asp

 

[ezrider1026]

hey i race too but everyday does someone have to post a race on here (usually there lies too by the way)I have heard s*** as ridiculous as mp3's beating porsche's and 200 hp monte carlo's and acura tl's please when does it all stop. The lies!!!!

 

[tritonheat1]

Hey, there just stating there own facts. Samething with you, u probably wouldn't like it if it was visa-versa. A Cherokee will actually beat a MP3 from 0-60mph but after 100+mph, the MP3 will go faster and the cherokee will just see a laser blue mica MP3 way in front of him.

Cool stat sheet triton, I was quite puzzled as to how this Jeep Cherokee I raced a while back, when the car was stock & new without an intake, was almost actually beating me in the 0-60.He gave no indication that he wanted to race at the light....but as soon as it turned green, he floored it with some tire chirping. I had to play catch up, until ofcourse I ran him. But as soon as I hit 85mph I started to pull away. Then again.....he could have just quit.

 

[Kooldino]

Hey. Yeah, we probably started from a roll of 70-75mph, and i definitely left him the whole time, but my gains weren't huge.


Triton might be right on this one due to the proof he showed. I think the reason I was pulling on his was aerodynamics...I'm not driving a cardboard box.


ezrider1026-Isn't it your nap time? You're like a grumpy old man. My purpose for posting my races on here is so that people know what our car can do...as for mp3's beating porches, that was just a joke my some idiot.

FYI: Jeep Grand Cherokees ARE MUCH FASTER Than your mp3!!!

The 5.9 liter V8 versions run 15.2's stock. A buddy of mine has a 97 Grand Cherokee with that motor and he runs a 14.6. He has a 3" flowmaster exhaust, chip, intake and that thing is fast!!

I raced a Twin Turbo Supra and guess wut!!! I lost He smiled at me laughed and then took off I felt kinda special

 

[tritonheat1]

Hey gro harlem i've been to your site a lot of times, but the last time you updated it was 11/27/01 and i haven't been there in awhile. I have a couple of questions to ask you. What's the fastest you have tooken your 93 Lx up to. And the performance on the Lx topspeed was 130mph (5-speed manual) am i right. Cause i own a 94 Lx and have gone 131mph, and 135mph. what are you running on your G-tech pro.?????

 

[Gro Harlem]

That gtech pro is a peice of dog s*** . I got rid of it b/c when i'd do a 0-60 run it'd stop the time at like 50!!

On that thing i got a 15.8 at 93 mph (bulls***). At a real racetrack my best time was a 16.6 at 84mph.

I got that 130 mph max speed from car and driver (road and track? i dunno one of them). I've been up to 128 but it was on a slight incline and the car wouldn't push it anymore so i disengaged b/c i didn't feel like blowing the motor.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were more. The car will rev up to 7400 rpms (fuel cutoff) but redlines at 7000, so i'm sure you could get it past 130, but it isn't good for the motor

BTW: that site will be merged into http://mazdaprotege.net soon. I'm working on it as i write this, but like i always say...it'll be awhile

 

[tritonheat1]

Thanks for the info groharlem. When i did 135mph i was at 6300+rpms though. Then when i was at 131mph i was at 61-6200rpms.

 

[mazdaman]

tritonheat1, I stand corrected. You are absolutely right, my Jeep is in fact an Inline 6, not a V6. Thank you for the correction.

 

[tritonheat1]

No Problem!!!! Just one Q? though. Can your cherokee do 110mph. Like it said on the performance link i posted????????

 

[LT1 Power]

ROTFLMAO

I just cannot stop laughing long enough to type so give me a minute.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...breath....breath...ok.


You are actually proud of pulling on a jeep? Forget wether you can or not but you actually posted it. I mean you actually wrote a sentence that said you were starting to pull on him. It just does not get any funnier than that.

WOW!! Wait till the guys see this one. You peeps are funny.

 

[mazdaman]

I have had my Jeep to 100 mph and let up, I am certain it will go faster.
