Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

[J.R. Quimby]

It's not a bad setup though. I'll give credit where credit is due. They even reprogrammed the ECU to work with the other computers in the JL - all the gauges, cluster lights, etc. work as intended. With the hood shut, you'd have almost no idea what was under it...until you heard the exhaust, anyway.

But still? The 5.7? 6.1, 6.4?

Oh I got to watch my dealer move about 8 Hellcat Chargers and a Challenger back into their display locations in front of the showroom. Just idling through the parking lot they sound awesome!

Mopar/FCA paved the road already it seems:

Hellcrate JL - Yes Please!

Just a matter of time now.

Mornin Jeeple! The CG with the Hellcat motor (Trackhawk) isnt meant to go offroad. There is one at my local stealership with a $90k window sticker. Seems like a huge waste of money to me.

They don't say; but they quote the HP at 450.

That makes sense, but at the same time, WHY?????

It's a good business move by Jeep/FCA to offer it, but it's just wrong...

Yes! I briefly considered getting a 6.4 Hemi Ram 2500 before coming to my senses. But I'd love to get a hold of one in a JL, just for kicks.

damn... Should have kept the Mustang and run a Hellcat swap!

We have a 300 with the 5.7. I already break the tires loose with the 3.6 in Jumper, I cant imagine even a 5.7 in him...

yeah, none of the SRT Jeeps were trail rated... but would still beat any other SRT off the line.

I've said it before, but I think driving a JL, especially a 2dr, with that much HP would be genuinely scary.

Maybe I'm just new to having 285 HP under my hood. But I've felt Gabrielle get a little squirrelly on more than one occasion if I'm getting on the gas and banging through gears.

Oh its got a pretty good power to weight ratio. There's nothing to really complain about the acceleration on the V6 really, I mean sure sports cars go faster but can they go over? nope...

 

[J.R. Quimby]

I like how Jumper feels right now, its all balanced. I'm worried about the 30 to 50hp drop when we move to CO. I hope I'm just over thinking. Maybe in a few years when its paid off I'll buy a Ripp JL supercharger

Not to mention the "warnings" you feel when you crest 80mph... All of my Jeeps have started to feel like barely contained chaos at that point.

I almost want to scroll back through oodles beyond oodles of media to find to video....
