For 1/8 mile drags, that AWD is definitely a good thing. Most of the
results are what I might expect, but the 350z should beat the Jeep--probably lit up the tires too much, and I suspect the WRX guy bogged and didn't get the turbo spooled up very well. In all, you have an interesting list of runs.

What? A fast Jeep? Are Jeeps really that fast? This sounds like BS.
BS alert! BS alert! Maybe a Jeep vs another suv but sports cars? Give me a break. "KokomoKid" > wrote in message ink.net... > For 1/8 mile drags, that AWD is definitely a good thing.

Really?
I guess hadn't thought much about them. Is that 5.9 similar to the Dakota 5.9 R/T engine?

Right!
To CRWL out again is the real measure of a 4x4. This is my second Jeep. And unfortunately, at times, I've turned into more of a street Jeep. I've removed the underbody armor for a weight reduction and don't take my sleeper speedy Jeep offroad too much any more. I miss those days. Maybe I just need to get a CJ and spend some quality time doing the other thing Jeeps are good at. |
