Drag race: Bronco 2.3 vs. Wrangler 3.6 & 2.0 - w/Premium fuel ⛽️

[Yogi1956]

Seems logical that a Rubicon would do even better with 4:10’s unless extra weight negates the gear advantage.

Oh come on now, are you really worried that your Jeep Wrangler won't have enough power to merge onto the freeway?

You never drove my old YJ. Putting aside the fact that it couldn’t actually reach freeway speed, it was glacially slow because:
-3.07 gears
-35” tires
-couldn’t use 1st gear, had to launch in 2nd gear
-vacuum-leaking, valve cover leaking, wheezy old 4.0L that definitely wasn’t putting out the advertised HP and torque numbers

Now it’s true, these new jeeps are all plenty fast and feel like a rocket ship in comparison!

Lol drag racing jeeps and broncos would be like off roading lambo vs Ferrari

Can you imagine us 2.5L YJ owners and the bliss we felt reaching 55 mph (downhill, with the wind, no passengers). I still miss my Rio Grande!

Can they throw in a 392 for fun in the next video running premium fuel of course.

My brand new 2.5L YJ couldn't pull hills without the occasional downshift...even when I had a running start, so to speak.

Yes, in comparison, my 2.0T JLU is comically fast. It's much less tippy feeling than the YJ in turns, too, although I acclimated to that sensation pretty quickly. It was fun to startle passengers who weren't familiar with it.

Pre-Pentastar I owned three JKs equipped with the minivan motor (3.8 liter) and the 4-speed automatic.
Nuff said.

Or...even Porsche 911s. Wait a minute, they've won the Paris->Dakar twice.

Oh man! If I could just get that in a convertable so I could let my long blond fly and tan my cleavage.
