  • Anyone driven/ owned a 1st gen Grand Cherokee SRT8?

    I've never had the chance.

    I've (or family/ friends) have had jeeps and they are indestructable....but I've never known anyone who had the SRT8 version.

    I've read a ton of reviews and they seem pretty good - yes, crappy gas mileage and weak interior.... but that doesn't bother me.

    Anyone?

    And yes, I've been trolling the grand cherokee srt8 boards

    I have had to opportunity to drive a friends, seemd to handle pretty good for a bulky SUV. It moved out when you put the gas to the floor. Overall I was pretty impressed with it.

        Drove a friend's (Chrysler employee...)

        He swore by it, it really is the best of both worlds; speed and convenience.

        It has a ton of power, interior didn't impress me, but the exterior is awesome.

          I launched by one on the freeway(2nd gear) just to piss him off since he cut me off. But he got on my exit and we messed around for about 15miles. Its hella fast but he wasnt pushing it unless he got behind traffic and wanted to catch up. And that he did. Inside is nothing but luxury(I work at a mazda dealer right next to a dodge dealer)

              I would not call that car a beater, there was some guys at my Community college who sold there cars and invested money into the Jeep, like throwing superchargers and other junk on them. Apparently they are very addictive. Update us on your search.

                Does Sebring count??

                That's probably as close as I'll ever get to Chrysler.

                    GCSRT8's are beast machines, definitely go try one out. Essentially the Jeep version of my truck (Trailblazer SS), but slightly faster stock vs. stock due to a few extra ponies and a slick transmission. The second I test drove my TBSS I loved it, you wont be disappointed.

                    Best of both worlds is what you'll get...plenty of power and speed, and plenty of space and practicality. I dig it.
