How is Ofsteve handling at 85?
I read in that Dalton Highway article that the JL tops out at around 97 mph due to wind resistance...Maybe Steve could give us a quick report?

A design deficiency of the aerodynamic dishwasher!

Nah, the crockpot is not making this trip. I've offered my services as grillmaster for dinner after the Jeeping though...;)

If I could go 110ish in my 175Hp Dakota... I bet the 285Hp Wrangler can easily beat that. (This does not count if its electronically limited)

Also, my Saturn would easily clear 90 and that thing only pumped out 85Hp.

Just means it needs a Hellcat Hemi :devil::devil::devil:

If 285hp gets you 97mph, imagine what 707hp gets you! :rock::rock::rock:


Probably a fiery death, but you never know...

Then I'll wager it's limited electronically. One way to find out! :devil::devil::devil:

I'll also wager your Saturn didn't weigh in at 4400lbs+ and was a bit more aerodynamic than the brick on wheels that we all love. :giggle:

The Saturn was kind of Brickish... Built right at the time boxy cars started giving way to curvy cars. But true, it was pretty light.

But the Dakota weighed close to 4400 Lbs itself, so a Pentastar engine in that truck would have felt like a rocket!

It's all in the gearing methinks...the JKs had Pentastars too. ;)

Grilling is not my strong suit, truth be told. I don't have one to practice on :(. Or a place to put one, for that matter. :headbang:

I feel like I could do some steaks or burgers and dogs. Sausages too.
