things quick! I bet the gas mileage is hilarious. that's my only beef with the SRT's. I don't think that they have the half cylinder shut off like the RT's have?

this new one does, actually...

and i LOVE this new SRT8. i really like the WK2 body style...

I like it, but hate the wheels and the lights on the front clip. It's a jeep not an audi :shrug:

whats hilarious is the price, 55k base you can get a used bmw x5 M for that and it's nicer/faster.

Very impressive. I like it. But if I have to choose, I would take an 08-10 model. I just really like the styling better on the older models.

Faster and nicer yes, cheaper no. New and X5M is almost double te cost $100k. Used 2010 X5M's are still commanding $75-69k you might find a ragged out high mileage one for $60-55k but good luck owned a vehicle of that caliber without a warranty. When the 2010 X5M's come off warranty their value will drop sharply.

Invoice plus destination on a base new Jeep SRT8 is $52.7k

I'd rather buy a Kia Sorento and have plenty of mod money and still have some left over for a 20 piece at KFC.
