[QUOTE="08mojo, post: 15767264, member: 132915"] I'm comparing to my other favorite daily driver I've had in the past: Mk6 Golf R. I've also daily driven the following: [LIST] [*]chevy silverado [*]92 foxbody gt [*]terminator [*]e46 m3 [*]golf gti [*]2014 mustang gt [*]2008 jeep grand cherokee [/LIST] The Jeep SRT is just plain nice. It feels luxurious as soon as you enter the cabin. Leather treatments everywhere, suede (faux suede) pillars and headliner, large screen on the dash with tons of info, large navigation/infotainment screen in the center stack--it all just works together nicely. Everything is very intuitive and exactly where you'd expect it to be. It has all of the modern conveniences that I've come to love: [LIST] [*]heated and cooled seats, and heated steering wheel [*]remote start [*]automatic climate control that always works/does what is expected [*]automatic cruise control [*]blind spot monitoring [*]really nice stereo (by far the nicest factory stereo I've ever had) [*]real time traffic updates [*]etc... [/LIST] For the street duties, it has enough power to make you forget its a 5000+lb vehicle. It handles and brakes well enough to also make you forget it is a 5000+lb vehicle. The 8 speed auto always performs as expected--never hunts for gears, never shifts strangely, it's always crisp--and the paddle shifters are very quick to react, if that's your thing. The all time AWD is an added bonus. So, everything mentioned up to this point, plus a lot more power would be very welcomed in my world. All that said, our bone stock 2016 mustang gt will outperform the jeep srt in every way: acceleration, handling, braking. The SRT is not a track vehicle, and mine will never see track time. It's a stupid thing to track--as will be the trackhawk. Drag-strip, maybe. The srt is a beast off the line and the auto trans and awd make anyone a pro a the stip, but it's weight becomes pretty apparent in short order. I'd take it to the drag strip for laughs and to embarrass people that think they can drive, but that's about it. [/QUOTE]
