AND a 4.11 axle ratio. No one seems to mention [know?] this. No wonder it only gets 10/16 MPG. WTF they need such a low ratio for? The tires aren't that big.

I don't like the TBSS for a number of reasons. But 4.11 gears in an era of $4.00 per gallon gas? Nuts!

What does the SRT8GC run?

TBSS is a POS btw...have you seen the interior? :tdown:

I'm sorry but since you own a jeep i thought you might have noticed the interior. the Jeep interior is aweful, the layout is crap and its cheap plastic everywhere! Not that i'm to big a fan of either I see at least 3-4 of both driving around here every day. Other syty's = 0!

True. The whole Chrysler brand has had that knock since forever. Wonder how the rest of the Jeep SRT8 holds up over time?

I think the interior is fantastic! Seat rule, quiet, tight, stereo is fantastic......works for me!! Quality wise, I only have 13k miles but it's been 100% perfect. You guys are nuts ;)

I personally don't dislike the interior. I'd have one for sure. The Jeep over the TBSS? Any day of the week :tup:

Ring and pinion is 3.73:1 for the SRT8-GC.

Final drive ratio is 3.08:1 with the 0.83:1 5th gear overdrive.

I should add that the SRT-8 has a 29" tall tire, compared to our 25.6" tire. If you factor that in, it would actually pull a little less RPM than a Sy/Ty for any given speed (at least in the "Drive" gear).

Like our trucks, it would appear those biznitches get going on torque production, not torque multiplication. :tup:

i agree, i thought the interior was pretty nice, the fabric on the seats is real comfortable and helps you not to slip around, the nav is pretty nice, it does have alot of plastic, but i think it looks better then ANY chevy interior right now.

I told the guy if I had an extra $45k laying around Id have one too :p

This is your first post in a long time too! I thought you were dead.

You can pick up a used GC SRT8 in the mid/high $20k range now.

Drivers race? Whats to drive? Its a P.H.S. for christ sake. If you can't figure out how to drive either or then thats ridiculous :roll:

Hey genius, I 've owned three typhoons/syclones and currently own a trailblazer SS awd. I do know how to drive and race. Quickest time for my completely stock typhoon was 13.01 @99.81 mph. I see stock GC SRT's running 12.8 -9 at the track. What was YOUR quickest timeslip???(And you have mods!) Now, who is the one that sounds ridiculous. Additionally, if your don't know what a drivers race is come to NJ and I'll run you in my SRT. Be prepared to be schooled son. ;)

Hmmm, I wonder if anybody will be talking about an SRT8 17years from now? :lol:

I fail to see what is so great about a gas guzzling square box...If i want a fast SUV I buy a low milage mint Ty for half the price! :2cents:

If I wanna waste a lot of money and look pretty damn ordinary doing it the SRT8 will work. :oops:

Holy jeez! Is that the record for the fastest stock SyTy? What short time did you cut on that run? Sorry to hijack the thread but that's amazingly quick for a 100mph trap speed. :tup:

Why dont YOU bring that pos up here to 6000 feet and see what school is really like? My best track time sucks but garauntee I'll rape any crap box you throw at me on the street. You're not as great as you think you are, you're just sounding plain ridiculous :lol: As much as I would love to go back home to NJ and show you some real shit talking, I can't afford it. But when I can and if I ever roll down in the TY (contemplated it several times) you will be first on my list to get on video losing your ass to a busted up 15 year old Jimmy.And for the record, I have about $1000 in "real" mods. You act like I am running around with a ****ing GT35R or something.

I still have the timeslip in fact it might still here on this sight and I belive there are witnesses to boot. I regularly had 1.69 - 1.72 sixty foot times.

6000 feet is that an excuse? Your the one running around spouting off about beating everything on the street with your 14 second brick and now you'll "rape" any crap box I can throw at you? I don't want to see "real shit talking" back it up with proof. Whenever your ready, I'll supply the video camera. Bring it.

I didn't say I can beat anything on the street, I said I can beat anything YOU have on the street.

This is the only video I have on the web. Its against a Ram SRT10. You'll notice, he go's first and at the end I am still holding off by about 5-6 cars. I'll just come out and say it, I think you're a dick man, I don't know who shit in you Wheaties this morning but you have a serious attitude problem. Until you live up at this altitude I don't see how you can talk any shit about what times anyone should or shouldn't be running. I'd bet money if I ran you down there even I would still spank that thing. I have yet to see an SRT8GC run in the 13's up here stock. They are all doing about mid 14's. FWIW, I drove an SRT8 and didn't think much of it, I have raced two and still didn't think much of it. I took one to 90 with a slipping trans, 3rd let go and I let off, I was still pulling on him and we raced form about 45mph.

Back off of Mad Mike. He has way more experience in SyTys and SRT-8s than you. His trucks have timeslips, and are proven. Your truck doesnt, and isnt. Take a lesson from your own words above: You aren't as great as you think you are.

You swim in a small pond son.

I don't give a shit and I am not backing off of anyone!! I could give a rats ass about anyones slips or experience! Who the hell do you think you are?!! When someone starts talking shit to me I don't back off, especially when its someone who doesn't even know me. **** I hate that shit!! Do you really think I owe you something that you can tell me what to do??? And as far as "proving" myself, I don't need to prove anything to you or anyone else, I have had several people ride along with me that know I am not full of shit in anyway. Just because he owned a SY and a TY doesn't mean he knows anything over what I know, you act like I just bought my truck and am an ignorant retard that can't change his own plugs.
