locogato11283 Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Anyone here have a Jeep SRT8? Those things are badass looking. I have been looking around at them lately but haven't come across much. Anyone driven one? Are they fun to drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Herbie- Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 I looked at them this past may but was turned off by the meager 3500lb towing capacity and the exhaust comes out right in the middle where the hitch would go. No doubt bad ass vehicle but i went with the AWD trailblzer SS instead with almost the same performance, better fuel mileage, towing ready and 6700lb capacity. So far i love it!

CraigP Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 SRT8 Jeeps were not made for towing. They were made to set the bar for all SUVs out there, and as far as performance goes, they did what they were meant to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydownunder Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 seen a few youtube vids of the srt8 getting flogged are jeep parts as expensive there as they are here ? compared to other manufacturers prices ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted December 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 I don't need to tow anything with it. I have the Cummins for that. It would be more of just a cruiser or taking trips down to KC. Even at that, 3500 pounds is more than I would even be towing anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06specialedition Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 A guy I used to work with has one there pretty bad ass, and super fast. He put alot of money into the motor and did a rear wheel drive conversion on it...so with the touch of a switch he can go from AWD to RWD...kinda fun for burn outs and stuff. I do like the SS Trail Blazers alot too. Just never been a big Jeep fan but thats just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Herbie- Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 if towing isn't an issue i'd go for it, i don't have the coin to have a tow vehicle and a toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Well shit, I've been looking around but apparently even the used ones come with a Playmate that gives you road head while you're driving because they are expensive.
