Exactly. I’ve never understood sour people. For me, even when I was younger, when I saw people with cool cars or things that I didn’t have, I always appreciated what they had. I was happy for them and promised myself that one day I could pick and choose the nice things I wanted. Can’t believe some people claim to love Jeeps and hate on the 392. Makes zero sense. You just end up sounding miserable haha.

How is a 470 HP wrangler less practical and make less sense than a 7-800Hp pickup,suv,sedan,sport coupe,or “real” sports car? If people didn’t love them why would the likes of Shelby and Hennessy tune them to over 1000Hp? Are they practical? Are The exotics practical? NO but we enjoy them and are willing to pay for our enjoyment!!! So if they are going to hate on our 392’s they better be consistent and hate on all the other impractical vehicles people love

I laughed out loud.

Kewl...................but...............it's a jeep...............so...........who da funk cares? Oh right the mall crawling soccer mom overlanding douchebag types. I just spend 85K for an ill handling overpowered school bus when I could have spent that on a "real" sports car.

You must be fun at parties.

You are blessed to have such AWESOME friends!!!! Not one of mine has a jeep, and there's no other 392s where i live....

I’m in Fort Myers Florida, and I have a 3 L eco-diesel Rubicon. I’ve never even seen a 392 down here. Or another diesel for that matter. I know the PedalMonster and the Derringer tuner I have on my diesel really makes this thing fun to drive. If the 392 is really that much fun, I might just add one to the garage. If you’re ever down this way, we should “test” the output .

Perhaps I’m a douchebag, def not a soccer mom… I own an AMG GTR so I think I can check off the “real” sports car… you can say the 392 isn’t targeted to you, but you are on the 392 thread about its 0-60 time so you must funkin care a little.

I would LOVE a real sports car AND a 392. Where I’m at, the sports car is a 3rd car option, you’re not driving it through the winter. The 392 is true year round-do it all-smile on your face-head turning machine. It checks a lot of boxes.

You be the douchebag- I'll be the soccer mom.... who can afford toys with speed and he is the jealous hater without a 392 so lets cut the "future old guy with a comb over channeling don johnson in an aging sports car" a lil slack. He wanted to look like an ahole and for the first time he actually succeeded in something. He is prob friends with the other ahole on here that shoots the rubber ducks. Some jeeps should come with eject buttons.

Real sports car... lemme say.... take an older mini cooper, pop in a v6, and watch how many "real sports car" you will leave in the dust. I must add... it is funny how many of us jeepers also belong or have belonged to the AMG club. Guess we have great taste..

You’re certainly welcome to take it for a test drive, it doesn’t feel like a typical jeep at all. The low-end torque and pull is just amazing.And it gets really good mileage if you drive it responsibly, but who the hell wants to do that?

GOOD MILEAGE??? WHATS THAT

Dealing with Orlando traffic last weekend made me wish I had the Hemi instead of the 3.6.

Still better than Tampa!

I had an f150 with a 5.0 and a whipple SC that was very fun. Got 13ish mpg which I felt was reasonable for the power and size.
