So im sure some of you have seen the new Jeep SRT8 commercial. Here are some spec and pictures.

Powered by a 6.1-liter HEMI producing 415 horsepower (85 more horses and 25 percent more power than the 5.7-liter HEMI-equipped 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee) and 410 lb.-ft. of torque, the all-new 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8’s performance numbers include 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds, 0-100-0 mph in the low 19-second range, and 60-0 mph braking distance of approximately 125 feet.

Compression ratio was also increased to 10.3:1 from 9.6:1

360 x 32mm vented rotors up front, with 350 x 28mm vented rotors in the rear









To me GM came out a little quicker with the new trailblazer, which looks almost exact from the outside. But I think Jeep will overcome GM. Both are fairly priced in the same range, so we'll see the outcome down the road.
