    Got to drive the SRT8 Jeep

    Wade (SRT8JEEP) came by my house last night and picked my up. It was the first time ive even rode in it. Then he let me drive it!! This thing is awesome! I can see how it ran a 12.8 stock. Ive never been in a car that launches so hard. Felt like you could do a wheelie. PLus it keeps you pinned in the seat until about 90 MPH. Chrysler did a very very good job on the Jeep SRT 8. Def has my approval.

    Yeah, those things launch REAL hard... I drove one and the launch was rather undramatic really... Brake stall it, floor it, and you are away! The front end raises up, rearend tucks down...and say good bye to whoever you are racing...

    You think that SL55 was fast? Check out the new SL63 AMG. My good friend is the Finance Director at Park Place Mercedes up here in DFW and lets me test drive all the new AMGs that he gets... Hell, the S600 has the 5.5L Bi-Turbo V-12 that has 510 hp and 612 lb./ft. That bitch can move pretty well too...

    Those are awsome! I tried to race one in Houston but he wouldn't bite. I guess it was better he didn't. LOL

    I tried to get the dealership to let me drive a srt8 as a loaner while mine was getting fixed, no dice. Instead I got a pontiac grand am-, then a buik rendezvous. both sucked ass.
