This is a very strong showing for sure. Engineers said, for best results, you needed some wheel slip. This is more like it. I knew, with 707HP, it should be doing better than 12.10s.

Now thats more like it. Might get close to 10’s with just a tune.
Impressive, but I think I was expecting more. Yes she's a big heavy girl... But can't get over 119 trap?

Still kind of a let down. That's Cecil County, a fast, sea level track. DA could have been negative with the cold weather.
Truck is 5500lb and has a warranty.
Traps 118+.
It's a SUV...
Are some expecting Hellcat challenger/charger times?

^This. It's impressive to me.
You already know the answer, Steve. Weight! This big girl weighs 5,363 lbs.
That and it is as aerodynamic as a big brick!
It’s a 100k SUV. For a 30k premium over the Cat maybe expecting it to walk one. Not like the potential isn’t there tuned but they softened it up perhaps for longevity.
$86k base. It's around 100k fully loaded. Charger Hellcat starts at 66k.
There's a reason it's 20k more than a charger, and it's due to practicality.
Can tow up to 7k with the Jeep and it has more cargo space than the other two. AWD function is better all season compared to a Challenger/Charger.
BMW X5M/X6M, Porsche and Mercedes performance comparables start at 101k/105k, 161k and 102k respectively. While no one is expecting German level quality in a Jeep, there's a nice upcharge to owning a fast truck.
IIRC these trucks are breaking shit stock. I doubt Jeep wanted to do even more R&D to make the drivetrain even beefier to withstand that type of power through an AWD setup.
Jeep has always brought a premium over other Chrysler brands. Just look at the SRT line.
Starting price for Charge SRT: $51,xxx
Starting price for Grand Cherokee SRT: $67,xxx
Price isn't relative to performance.
This, everytime there's a youtube video of someone running their best, it's at this track.
I bet it'd run even better at Atco then
A brick running sub 12's bone stock? I think its very impressive for what it is. It's kind of amusing those that think it should be faster, just goes to show the times. This thing could run 10.9 and there'd still be someone huffing disappointment.
****ing beast.
