Remove absolutely everything that identifies it as a 392.

This will cut the sales by 90% - as only about 10% of 392 buyers are actually interested in the performance of the 392. The rest just want the world to know that they can afford the 392.

I assume you're being facetious.

Are the seats different than a V6 Rubicon?

Technically no... but my rubi is hella more comfy than my 392 so go figure.

I call bullseeeet on this theory.

The fact you have to have the painted top, fenders, and leather seats are the only reasons I haven't looked at a 392. I don't want those things and I'd rather not spend additional time, effort, and money to replace them.

Likewise, I'm surprised Jeep didn't put some kind of effort into better brakes and steering for the 392. These things were included with any other FCA product that included this powertrain.

Well imo.... engine is a bigger deal than cosmetic stuff and any bucks you spend to fix those issues will be cheaper than upgrading a wrangler with a hemi sooooo..... just sayin.

I’ve said it for years, no way I could DD a wrangler. I think that’s why I don’t critique the Jeep.

My commute to the office is about 1.8 miles so it’s not too bad and both the wife and I love our jeeps. But I would like something like an S class with air suspension or even one of the new grand Cherokee‘s with its air suspension for those longer trips.

Agreed. I don’t give a shit about the badge. I love the way it sounds and of course how fast it takes off from a red light

I love my 392, but wish the production model was closer to the original concept. I decided to buy one the day I saw that concept. I would have liked 37s from the factory (or at least factory wheels that were wider to better accommodate 12.5 wide tires) and more interior colors/differentiation. I loved the red interior of the concept. The interior is pretty dark and drab in all black with dark gray painted dash panels. But I honestly have very few complaints. And I added 37s on my own.

depending what color yours is you could paint your dash......

Remove the painted fender flares.... bigger or 2nd gas tank.... deeper sounding exhaust (its a lil twiggy to me)... and an interior redo- its so boring and dark. But i bought it for the engine and all the things i want to change are cosmetic sooo.... (except the gas tank obvs).

you could always paint your dash a colorful color of ur choice, or i have seen people do the speaker bezels they look good. just a thought

Correct, the engine is the bigger deal. I don't want the rest, nor do I want to pay for it.

Nope.

If the 2023 Corvette drove exactly like a Corvette, handled exactly like a Corvette, and provided the exact same driving experience as a Corvette - but from the exterior looked exactly like a Corolla - most "Corvette people" wouldn't buy one. And that is because they wouldn't be able to say "hey, look at me. - I drive a Corvette".

That's the most foolish thing I've read in a long time.
