I was having the clutch pulled on the Speed yesterday, so good thing we had one of these to demo at work. Just in time for the snow, too!

This is seriously a dream in the snow with AWD, tall wheels and great traction control. The 420 ft-lb was tamed nicely. Good thing I got to drive it on dry pavement for a while before the sky fell. This thing is wickedly fast.
 
faster than a porsche cayenne turbo at half the price...0-60 less than 5 seconds....you lucky bastard!!

I've driven quite a few of these over the last few months and they are a blast! IMO they are a steal at the price they're offed at too.
 
That front end is hideous! I think even the Subaru B9 might look better than that! Wow.

Otherwise, I guess it could be fun.

i disagree = you're wrong


the front looks mean. best front evar.
 
is it me or in the gallery picture of the back end, the exhaust tips are off-centered or crooked?
If I wanted an SUV? I would buy that, but in yellow?! :)
 
Wow. I am a Mopar guy at heart and didn't even know they existed.
 
Glad you guys like it. I HATE SUVs with a passion, but I would actually buy this Jeep (if I could afford a 12 mpg gas guzzler). I went through $45 of gas in one day just letting people test it out.

It was an absolute blast to drive in the snow this weekend. The funny thing is that I didn't know that Jeep had an SRT version, but everywhere I went people were just starring at it or trying to race me. The most fun thing to do with the truck, though, is to take traction control off and find a nice snow covered dirt road. ULTIMATE FUN.

The sheet says it's about $38,900 for the base SRT-8, but this one had an SRT option package for $3200 that included a bunch of luxuries like heated seats, Sirius radio, navigation, and a bunch of other cool things. The interior is top notch.

The SRT Jeep is just starting to make it to dealers now and advertising just began this month. You'll start to see more ads for them.

The truck definately gets a lot of looks from people.
