Now THAT was an awsome commercial.

LOVE IT! :mrgreen:

 

[Tug-n-pull]

Just think how much faster it would in a creek bed! hehehe tug :lol:

 

[BostonJeep]

are all those numbers legit?

 

[Snitty]

That's impressive.... great commercial idea to catch the attention of those who are all about thinking that you have to be small to go fast

 

[Joopin]

Oh man, I never wanted a Cherokee so bad in my life! That is SWEET!

 

[mud4feet]

I'm hoping I never see a Wrangler commercial like that - maybe against an Audi and Beemer up the side of a mountain

 

[southtj]

I notice though that they didn't mention any skidpad numbers... :roll:

 

[currupt4130]

can you say "hemi?"

 

[jeepguy46176]

That is part of that show they have on that jeep channel on direct tv. I think i have it figured out. Channel 611 pops up from 7 to 11 pm and it all one big test drive of the new GC.

Those might be real numbers for those cars they tested against, but i would hardly consider that a sample of the sports cars on the market today.

15.25 is not too shabby for a quartermile for that jeep though.

But the mitsubshi evo 8 and the subaru wrx sti are both sub 14 seconds in the quarter mile. And 0-60 times for a good number of sports cars are sub 6 seconds.

Personally, my mr2 does 0-60 in 6.2 seconds, 1/4 in 14.7 seconds and has a 110 ft 60-0 in breaking (i don't know how that converts in to 70-0 though). That is in stock trim, 2.0L turbo charged engine at 9-11 lbs of boost with about 160 hp at the rear wheels.

So I think it is a fair test, but the opponents were chosen for a reason.

Ahhhhh! Good ol' American advertising!

Point is, 5.7l Hemi will blow A LOT off the road.

 

[Sully]

Awesome!

Especially an Audi 1.8 liter 4 w/180 hp and a BMW 2.5 liter 6 w/184 hp. Whew......that's some pretty impressive competition.


:wink: :lol: 8)

 

[Inspector-Gadget]

Nothing like good old American big-iron for straight-line performance.

I whooped a Yugo with my moped once.

 

[jps4jeep]

I really like the new grand but.... What do you think it would take to put a Solid front axle in one of those?

A vehicle company that is trying to sell off-road vehicles, instead of luxury sedans with 4X4... :roll:
