Amazing top speeds in those Hemi SRT8 apartment blocks! In straight line of course, but still very impressive.

the best mpg he has managed so far is 18.3mpg at 50/60mph..
the worst he has managed is 3.4mpg

..
its not a car id like to throw around in the corners , but boy from stand still its a good 4sec sprint to 60 maybe less? just doesnt feel that quick maybe because of its size and height untill you look down at the speedo that is..

Last June we had a little trip to the Eiffel near the Nordschleiffe. The owner of the hotel we stayed also ownes a Jeep like this. He told us that all Bimmer and Merc drivers we supprised ha his Jeep was so much faster than their cars. "until the first corner" he said.

never the less, a great car!

I wonder if you can hear CJ revving up here? CJ has a 6 litre V8!
perhaps Jeroen could You tube it?

I must admit I am tempted to get a Wrongler my self as a run around espically when you check out the amount of aftermarket kit you can get.
