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...

i *could* be wrong, but somewhere i recall reading that JGC srt-8 was the fastest production SUV, followed by the Porche Chyenne twin turbo.

I like the srt8 jeeps, I saw a black one right after they came out and I loved it.

The SRT8 will beat a tbss vs. stock... but all it takes is a tune and a TBSS will outrun a stock JGC SRT8 no problem. As with all the Dodge stuff those guys don't get much help from the aftermarket... ESPECIALLY tuners.

Personally I really like the SRT8... I like the look and they're a blast to drive, but the fact that it has NO TOWING ABILITY makes it pointless IMO. A "sport" SUV is an odd concept as it is, but when you take all the function out of it whats the point??
