Noo, the jeep guy can't unleash 1000 hp in that kind of weather. That's why he keeps holding it back. Too wet for all that hp. Too scary. I wouldn't top speed my supercharged rover sport in the rain. It is an suv
Plus since it was wet, he eased it up to about 80 before he put his foot in it. He was smart. A regular launch would've been a bad idea.
If you've ever driven a Corvette, you understand why he waited so long to unleash those horses. My buddy stomped his 03 Z06 in 3rd gear one night without traction on and we did a 360. The vette's torque is unbelievable. You have to be careful.
When Hennessey does the upgrades to the Jeep do they upgrade the drivetrain. Something went wrong but the world may never know ...
Something Definetley went wrong probably something to do with the debris from the jeep when it went against the vette
I honestly couldn't make my mind up between the two, the 'vette is nice, but I love the SRT sleeper idea
Im guessin the jeep guy upgraded the engine but not the drivetrain stuff. Too much power for the rest if the car to handle
The guy in the jeep looked like he was using the brakes the whole race on top of the hazards
Well the guy in the vet was obviously playin wit him u can hear it wn e shifts n that mk2 was rapid
Yeah that zr1 really took off when he let it loose after basically Rollin out of the line for traction
Why would they even think of racing in the rain it's dangerous and you get terrible times like the ZR1 13.8 in a 1/4 mile!?
You can see debris come from under the jeep when it runs against the ZR1
Jesus that ZR1 took off. I don't think he even really hit the gas until almost halfway down.
so, the ZR-1 didn't seem like it went off the line right. Either it started at a higher gear for traction purposes or something was wrong with it as well.
The Jeep skipped a gear with the Porche for sure. You could see it went off the line right for a few feet but then something happened. It did better with the second run but I still don't think it went for the 1/4. Something was just wrong with it. Al
They have a lingenfelter ZR1?! I have to see it. I love the ZR1 that's my dream car. It seems like there was something wrong with that Jeep tho. It wasn't even trying.
The Jeep sure had some problems on the wet surface, so he only went for the 1/4 mile times. You can clearly see him brake after the 1/4 mile line.
Mmmm I love that ZR1. After seeing a lingenfelter ZR1, I really really love the ZR1.
Anyhow, either the Jeep was only concerned with 1/4 mile times or the driver is a big suck who pulled up (he *did* hit the brakes) after realizing that he was going to lose - making it a no competition, of sorts.
@Barry: You call rain?! There's nothing to call, it *was* raining in the video. Your statement is only valid had you posted the comment before watching the video, which is unlikely.
He missed 2nd gear against the Porsche and gave up. I'm sure he was only going after 1/4 mile times would any of you guys feel safe trying to top out a 1200hp jeep Cherokee in the rain anyway?
I would assume it had issues. Look at the second run km/h at the mile mark with 4 ways on....
Get that jeep running proper so it can do more than about 80mph then it will be a weapon took off well second run and so it should for 1200 Bhp
When the jeep was up against that Porsche it seemed to lurch or dive when it switched gears and it did seem slow for 1200 hp
The one on the far left looks like she's just about to crouch down to take a dump. The one next to her does not have a butt, she has a long back.
We need more photos like this on Carbuzz. Excuse me while I visit the restroom.
The second from the left has a flatter ass than my grilled cheese sandwich.
Any would be good, but I'll go with the second from the left for first choice.
I know it's the sport model. I just mean it's not something that needs this kid of tune. It's just over the top and pointless. Do it to a Chally SRT8
Devin, I realize an SRT8 isn't a super car, but it actually is built for performance. A regular Grand Cherokee isn't built for "performance"
And the jeep looks really good
People build 1000hp Gremlins and other crazy crap.
Because they can! Why not?
I don't get why someone would waste there money running it up that high. It's not a performance vehicle so why push it so high. Just tune it to 6-800 that would be perfect
I've seen this jeep run on drag times before it ran against a porsche gt3 and a new skyline both runs we're full out the jeep ran low tens in the quarter both runs,and was well over 280 km hr on the big end ,it ran great.
It's because of its aerodynamic shape, the more speed it gets the more air resistance it has. That thing is like a block ripping through speeds, it's natural for it to have lower acceleration at high speeds
I think the issue is its still an suv that weighs as much as an elephant.
Is there a speed limiter on the Jeep? It seems to slow dramatically in both races.
