I like the look and idea of the Jeep GC SRT8... just wasn't the right choice for me and for the price the TBSS can't be topped IMO. Along comes the Hennessey JGC SRT8... now you'd think a turbo'd IC'd Hennessey product would just blow your mind, but this just seems like a fantasticly underacheiving setup... especially when you consider the price tag of over $75k!!! :insane:
There are alread a number of TBSS's out there putting more than 600hp TO THE WHEELS (not 620 at the crank like this thing) that did so with under $15k in mods...
