So coming home from the falls in canada last night, im on the highway, all of a sudden i come flying up on 2 SUV’s doing about 30 next to each other…i slow way down, turns out its a Cayenne Turbo and a Grand Cherokee SRT-8, and one of them gives 3 beeps. They run up to 100-110 and the Jeep pulls him by like 2 cars, the turbo starts reeling him in at the end but it wasnt enough, I’m just amazed at SUV’s being that quick. After he merges over in front of the Porsche, 4-ways and all, I pull up next to them, and the Cayenne driver is about a 16 year old kid…probly borrowing it from his parents. He guns it but I just drive right by him, step up to the SRT-8 and pace him. We slow down to about 35 and he beeps, I pull a carlength off the start (It probly takes a lot to get a brick moving), another length or so by the top of 2nd, hold the lead about even until like 105 then shut down. He does a flyby and probably takes the jeep up to 130 or so, that ALMOST looked safe :bloated: After that the porsche kid wouldn’t play any more :sad: Cliff notes: Cayenne Turbo \< Jeep SRT8 \< Joe. Good experience for my bank account though, if I would have lost I would be using part of today’s paycheck on a Zex kit ---

The srt-8’s are running low-mid 13’s from what I heard the other night. Definately something I would consider buying once the used market on them gets alittle better just still too new/expensive for me.
