So after my and a Magnum SRT going at it and me winning, a member asked how I'd fare against an SRT in highspeeds.

The race started at about 80 mph, ended at 140ish. I wouldnt say this is a "kill" a kill to me is when you are passing a car by 4, 5 cars and going.
I crept by, and once I was a car and a half ahead we stopped.

I LOVE THIS CAR!

We went 3 times, each time he got about a car's length ahead of me Like in the video,) then I started to pull. Is that because of the better gears in the SRT?

The SRT is a monster, and off the like the Jeep is faster than the rest because of the AWD.

I have beaten 300C and Magnum SRTs off the line BUT the jeep gets me. All of them do what you saw in the video though, they all get ahead of me till the end of 3rd gear then I pass them slowly.

I need more power... and a better tranny!

On Fridays? lol.

I dont think a SC is the best way to go in this heat, even the guys in the states (I get my parts from PPP, who are the owners of the worlds fastest NA LX car, 11.08 seconds) are like if you do SC you cant go above 6ish pounds of boost.

That isnt worth the 7k price tag to me.

My plan is a stroker at 7.0 liters. thats around 590 bhp, and 500 lbs of tq. Seriously, anything that can beat me at that point Im willing to lose for. MAYBE (a big maybe) a turbo later on after the stroker. That seems to be the choice here in the UAE instead of a SC.
