And they are pretty quick too!

[Flicktitty]

There is a guy here in Delavan that has a silver one. i want it.

I raced a black one on a roll about a month ago. My Lightning pulled, but it held its own.

And like Tina's Subie?:rolf


Beating a car by 5 lengths that 60's a 1.7 no matter what, is pulling hard! FYI

And if you pull a half of car in a half of gear, that is also a good pull. Not to mention when a auto car is roll racing against a stick car, and stills pulls.

As My Valiant comerade has stated :

BTW, a win IS a win, is it not?

Sheesh, ford guys...

[Anakonda69]

does the srt even keep up at all with the lightning? what is done to your lightning?

[mike90lxII]

I work at a Jeep dealership in New Orleans and we sold about 8 of them.

Raced one of our customers with my stang when I had it. He got me off the line but once I was in second I killed him.

They are pretty cool though.
we have the SRT8 300 in stock too.

They all come with the same drivetrain only real options are the DVD and NAV.
as you can imagine they come pretty loaded.

wish they made a stripped out model without all the leather and stuff.

Eh... Id take the lightning over one... And especially a Trailblazer SS since guys have gotten like 13.1's @ 105 out of them already bone stock with a kinda lazy 1.9 60 foot.

[Yooformula]

yeah but the GC SRT8 is better looking imo. I met that guy last night. Cool guy too. I think his name was Boomer.

I'd take the jeep...more power, less weight, handles better, AWD standard, guys have gone 12.8@108 with just a filter (1.76 60'), and it looks better imo. Sure, the SS will haul more and has more room, but oh well.

I don't know that I could live with a pick-up again at this point in my life....

Like my TB-SS example thats a "best case secnario for stockish". Im sure the TB-SS has some weight over the SRT etc...

Reality is a diff story as usual... upon heading to GLD and watching stuff u usually see the reaility and i remember watching 03 cobra's that were stock and couldnt break into the 12s on slicks or radials with 400 RWHP...

One time this summer i had gone to GLD with the monte and a SRT 8 charger with exhaust and intake and tune couldnt run better than 13.80s @ 103 to my 14.0's at the time @ 100 with 125 less hp and 12K less sticker price, which mine unltimately ended up going 13.6 @ 102 with that same 300 hp later in the year.

I cant get by the performance to cost ratio though of the mopars, those Jeeps are pretty god damn pricey! as is any "SRT" sans the neon. When i can get a mid 13 sec monte for a touch over 25K, a low 13 sec TB-SS for mid-low 30's... that looks like the better route to me i guess... All personal opinion.

[mike90lxII]

Technology cost money. But you could probably get the GC for less than 40k depending on the options.

Yeah look at me I had a 460whp mustang and most times couldn't get it to run better than 12.50's. So driver def makes a dif.

[Prince Valiant]

Like my TB-SS example thats a "best case secnario for stockish". Im sure the TB-SS has some weight over the SRT etc... Oh, I know that's for sure...and I've seen that charger you were talking about at the track too. But as "best case scenario's" go, there have got to be a few "worst case" ones as well. There are some charger's srt's with CAI, stock exhaust to the cat, cat-back and tuning that have gone 12.4's too...

but if one looks to the general times of truely stock vehicles, same drivers, conditions, etc, one can't deny that on average the jeep is .5-.7tenths faster than even the 2wd ss's.

Well, at 39,995, it is a healthy step up from ifrom 33,950 from a 4WD SS or 31950 of a 2wd SS...but mopar sells all they make, so why not?

And in general, look at SRT-8 version of the 300...and compare it to let's say a CTS-V. SRT-8 is a little over 10 or 11G cheaper for virtually equal performance not just in the 1/4 mile, but handling, braking, roadholding, etc...or compare it to the similarly sized/weight STS-V, and you'll see that for again, equal performance, but this time for ~30,000 less. And you could get virtually the same car for 5-6G less than the 300 with either a magnum or a charger SRT-8.

But you are right...no one expect's you to go with a mopar, EVER, nor me with a chevy, EVER :goof

[BAD LS1]

This shit could be argued on into infinity... ( no pun intended twoards mopar sound systems)

Talking to me? And the Valiant? It's down for now...and I did just sell the engine...but maybe I can get it up for a snow tire race (haven't pulled it yet), i'll have to see when I can get to it and how easy it'll be to put the new shifter arms on there (weather dependant). At first I thought you meant in the freakin' snow :goof

I'll see.

[88Nightmare]

I was at hub south last night and one of the salesman told me an SRT8 cherokee might set me back around 43k. Holz chevy has a loaded trailblazer ss black on black awd for about 38k and 0% financing for 60 months on it :D

[88Nightmare]

I think the SS has better flowing lines, by far. better looking front end. And especially after seeing an SS in person, I appreciate it MUCH more. and that 38k at Holz will get you all the options. Oh yeah and a $750 rebate with that 0% financing....

you sound very passionate about the ss, do you have one? if so would you like to race it? i'm curious as to how my srt8 will perform; just for fun.

[88Nightmare]

yeaaa I was going to get a trailblazer SS for my mother for christmas, but got her a Saturn Aura XR instead because it was practically free. Had I realized there was going to be 0% financing on them, I probably would have gone with the Trailblazer SS. If I could, I'd still go with a TB SS. I think its just a sharp looking truck. Not to offend you, but the Jeep srt8 just doesnt "grab" me as much as the SS does. But I have never been a fan of any Dodge/Plymouth/Jeep product (aside from the old school muscle cars)

[88Nightmare]

to answer your question, no I do not have the SS. If I did, hell yes I would race. Even if I still lost, racing is fun. I'll race ya with my moms Saturn Aura though. Tap shift *****!

[hrsp]

i think both are SWEEET...what kind of power numbers are they both putting out? thanks for answeinf my idiot question for the day:durr

that's real respectable that you would purchase a vehicle for your mother. i hope one day i will be able to do the same for mine. i'm curious what do you do for work? i manage a group of technicians, we install and maintain large cctv systems and electronic securty devices.

i've seen some mags that say 425hp but i think its more like 420hp.

and the Jeep is throwin down about 425hp, and the SS is doin 395hp and 400ft lbs.

what's tap shift? are you refering to auto-stick; i've got one in my truck too.

[88Nightmare]

yup. saturn just calls it tap shift. kinda neat. plus the Aura XR has a 6 speed auto.

Thats a sharp looking car!

[88Nightmare]

thanks yoo. the biggest surprise is its a saturn. I remember a few weeks ago my pops was like "if you are still undecided on a car for mom, come in and look at the new aura" my response was "come on pops... a saturn?"

well I got there... and I ate my words 30 seconds into the test drive. The car drives as nice as it looks. Anyone interested, id be more then willing to show it off to them.

Awd is nice. But it is not a good thing they don't come with a blower. Lightnings are a pulley and a tune away from big hp.

I can't say enough how saturn has really taken the initiative and stepped up their cars.

yeah thats nice... i'll stick the same amount in my jeep and blow the doors off the tb. i understand brand loyalty but it seems some people take it to the extreme and refuse to except the facts.

i use to be the very proud owner of an s-10 extreme but it wasn't the baddest thing out there, hell, i even had an s2000; but after awhile something new and better will come out. i'm sure by the end of this month my jeep will probably be out done by something out there and thats fine, i'll admit defeat or at the very least i won't be saying i'll put 4 turbos and a bottle on my vehicle to blow the doors off your stock (insert vehicle here).

what's with people bragging about performance of vehicles that they can't even afford? i enjoy talking to people who actually have fast vehicles and who have actually tested the automotive "waters" and formulate very well thought out critisms on vehicles they 've had personal experiences in.

that's my 2 cents.

So Boomer, lucky you this winter huh! No need for winter rims or a beater. Here I was going to poke fun at you for buying the truck and having to put it away so soon but oh well to that. All we need now is for spring to come along.

actually i wish i had another vehicle to drive, i'm not sure how my polished aluminum rims are going to look after this winter.

[88Nightmare]

I don't know about jeep, but over at Holz, they wont even let you touch a TB SS without a pending deal, and by pending, they told me loan approved just waiting to sign. kinda extreme to me. I know I am a younger guy and maybe they just didn't want to deal with someone driving one for the hell of it, but come on, I rolled up to their showroom in an 06 silverado and have paperwork in my glovebox proving its mine.... not like my 06 silverado price was far off from the TB SS.

Hub south didnt even have an SRT8 jeep for me to just look at.

And from what I read on traiblazer ss forums, guys with stock trailblazers have had transfer case and rear end failure at 5 or 10k miles with mostly gentle driving. ON STOCK VEHICLES! hmm... other guys complained of wind noise on the freeway and other stuff of that nature.

[Yooformula]

just use soap and water and DONT use that aluminum wash that you buy in a store. That stuff with just haze your rims. Get a good billet polish like Eagle one nano or Mothers billet and the Mothers powerball and you'll be fine.

i use get the same treatment you're getting from a lot of dealers; it wasn't until i started driving luxury cars that they've decieded to treat me a little better. but you know what; i usually roll back to the same dealers after i 've spent my money elsewhere.

come to think of it i bought my extreme from Holz; you're right there service is really shi**y. Nightmare, if i were you i'd run away from that dealersship.

I wouldn't buy from them, I just wanted to drive one. Braeger hasn't gotten an SS in yet, and I usually buy my vehicles from them. Both of my trucks came from them. They always treat me like a king and give me sweet deals... Maybe because my pops worked there for like 7 years. Either way, I am always happy at Braeger. Their service department rocks also.

Perfect example. Back in march of 06 I bought a 2002 cheby 1500 ex cab z71 from them. 2 weeks later I noticed all my tires were badly cupped. I went back there, they gave me 4 brand new firestone somethin or other tires that were better then what came on those trucks stock, for free, mounted and balanced... free. Then in summer when it became like the middle east over here with 100º temps, I discovered my air conditioning didnt work. This was in actually july, 4 or 5 months after I bought it. I went back to them, and they split the repair cost with me, so I ended up oweing 50 bucks... which was less then what a tank of gas cost. Either way, they have always been reasonable.
