#1 of 166 Grand Cherokee SRT-8 vs. Trailblazer SS by blkhemi Sep 24, 2005 (12:47 pm)
The Jeep is the better choice for two reasons: more horsepower and a better power-to-weight ratio. It doesn't hurt that it also packs a 6.1L Hemi with 420hp vs. the Trailblazer's 391 6.0L V8 small block LS2 Replies to this message: mph02 (Sep 29, 2005 5:05 am) blkhemi (Sep 29, 2005 11:49 am) zumdish (Oct 06, 2005 7:40 am) and 20 more... kirks407 (Dec 11, 2005 1:14 pm)

Replying to: blkhemi (Sep 28, 2005 5:03 pm) I was hoping DC would market it in an affordable range.

Replying to: blkhemi (Sep 29, 2005 11:49 am) The GC is pricey to be sure, and with gas prices . . .   Still, I had a 1998 5.9 Unlimited, it was just an engine and trim upgrade, at the time the fastest SUV on the market. Loads of fun, lots of fond memories. I love the idea of a modern version, with suspension and brake upgrades to match.

Replying to: zumdish (Oct 06, 2005 7:40 am) You're right the SRT-8 is expensive. And with the gas market the way it is right now, DC is taking a gamble. I too had(still got it) a 5.9 Limited. It felt so good to be able to not only smoke every truck in sight, but to also be able to hang with some of the sports cars at the time. I wish DC would've invested more time in trying to Americanize it's popular Euro-market only turbodiesel it has in the JGC and now the Commander. But it is what it is. Mercedes and BMW had better watch out because the SRT-8 is upon you. It has a receipe that only sports car makers can only do: Low weight, lowered suspension,bigger engine are the same ingredients that Jeep used in the 5.9. And with the price that is surely to undercut them buy at least $20,000, how can they go wrong?
