the jeep doesn't actually win the race, just gets off the line quicker...
either way i agree hp/tq > weight, aerodynamics

 define beating... Getting off the line quicker doesn't equal beating someone. It's simple physics, as the speed increases, the jeep is going to cause alot more drag than the SLR. Who cares about the price, the whole point was to compare power/tq to weight/aerodynamics. Yes power is important, but it will only get you so far. They all play a vital role in the engineering of a car and If you honestly can't comprehend that, than you have no business about talking about cars.

Alright, from one video we see it was faster off the line, the other 2 videos show that its faster in the quarter.... What else would be needed to show that its quicker?

The SLR is about 3,800lbs, the SRT is roughly 4,800lbs.  With all that "aerodynamic engineering" and 1,000lb weight difference, the SRT shouldnt even be able to keep up. The SLR kicks out 641/605 HP/Torque, the Jeep is about 620/650 HP/Torque... More HP/Torque >>>> Less weight.

It may be quicker(which has to do with the AWD) but it's not faster. Also, the SLR has more HP so according to you it should  be quicker and faster. I'm just saying that there is more than just HP and TQ. 

Lets put it like this, you're crusing down the highway in the jeep and I come along in the SLR and we both race.....who do you think will win?

I think the first video answers that question

But as far as it being AWD, we dont know that for sure. It's possible... we just don't know.

at calling the evo "small". I can comfortably fit 5 people in my car, it has the world's most advanced traction control system equipped, and it is pretty damn quick. Next.

You guys are still arguing? First it was about chargers, then american>jdm or jdm>american. Its no big deal. get a life.

Please disregard if already posted, I didn't go through the entire thread   

 

[rko2004]

Yeah those are the artist renderings. I'm not even sure when they'll reveal the car.

 

[moneymike88]
