I read online that these things run bottom 13's stock. with CAI, catback and tune they run around a 12.5-12.8 mine came with corsa catback and mopar cold air. I'm not sure if it already has a tune yet. but I'm going to Dito Motors later this month to throw it on th Dyno and get a custom tune. Hopefully I will be able to take it to the track to see what it runs soon. This SUV is hella fun to drive and super comfortable to ride in. It feels like you're driving a car.

It's an 07 with 50k on it. I got it for a little under 30k OTD. Which believe it or not is a really good deal. This was the second cheapest one I found in CA. All the others were either more money or had waaay more miles. I found one in Eureka for like 27k but they did nto want to budge on the price and when I took a closer look at it I noticed the Brembo brakes were missing LOL! it had stock grand cherokee brakes on it

Those things are sick!! I almost picked one up a few years ago, but I had a few friends that had bad luck with previous jeeps and talked me out of it. I hope these ones hold up well.

We looked into buying a GC SRT8 but passed because its an SUV minus the "U". I couldn't bring myself to buy an "SUV" that could only tow 3500 pounds. All that power and a worthless tow rating. We opted for a TBSS instead. They're not quite as quick but have about twice the towing ability plus the rear air suspension works great with a trailer behind it.

These things are fucking fast, I ran with a bolt on one on the freeway from a 30 roll and he kept up with me until 110 or so and I started to pull away,

That's what kills it for me. You can't tow nothing! But I'll tell you what, they can haul ass lol
