Amazing top speeds in those Hemi SRT8 apartment blocks! In straight line of course, but still very impressive.

the best mpg he has managed so far is 18.3mpg at 50/60mph.. :)
the worst he has managed is 3.4mpg :shock: ..
its not a car id like to throw around in the corners , but boy from stand still its a good 4sec sprint to 60 maybe less? just doesnt feel that quick maybe because of its size and height untill you look down at the speedo that is.. :loll

Last June we had a little trip to the Eiffel near the Nordschleiffe. The owner of the hotel we stayed also ownes a Jeep like this. He told us that all Bimmer and Merc drivers we supprised ha his Jeep was so much faster than their cars. "until the first corner" he said. ;-) never the less, a great car!
It's the man next door!

I wonder if you can hear CJ revving up here? CJ has a 6 litre V8!

perhaps Jeroen could You tube it?

I must admit I am tempted to get a Wrongler my self as a run around espically when you check out the amount of aftermarket kit you can get.
