I did not watch the video but tire size and altitude would be an advantage. The V6 might be a bit asthmatic at high altitude.

Turbo v. Turbo: Scroll to 3:41. You're welcome.

Spoiler: Jeep for the forced induction Win.

To be frank, I was surprised at how badly the Pentastar fell behind.

I agree with the spirit of Tim's comment, though. Posting 1/4 mile videos is little more than clickybaity.

I may be in the minority here, but I always find stuff like this interesting. Sure it flies in the face of intended use, but it's "big boys and their toys" kind of stuff, and it's done in a fun tongue-in-cheek manner. Hell, I drive a 3-row electric tram at Mayo, and we even see how fast those things are when it's not busy. Spoiler alert: the trams don't drift well.

In a previous video the 3.6 won the race, the Bronco did not have premium fuel.

Very impressed with the Jeep 2.0 Turbo. I'm thinking that's the engine I'm going to chose in my 2022 Rubicon order.
I'm continually impressed with the Hurricane in my Sport. Credit must be shared with the superlative 850RE transmission, also. It's worthy of your serious consideration.

I have fed the engine 91+ since new.

Given the fact that almost all mileage in these vehicles is on road, this is pertinent info. Merging onto a freeway, etc., is a fact of life.
Oh come on now, are you really worried that your Jeep Wrangler won't have enough power to merge onto the freeway?

Best,
-Tim

Does this make it worth 10000 dollars over MSRP? Because that is what I am seeing Bronco's on the lot listed at near me - and they are moving....
