Yea, the Grand Cherokee TrackHawk. Nah, you can get them for low $90's. Mid $80's used.

I didn’t realize they were so expensive, they’re bad ass though.

Well this is awkward being the camaro forum but what expectations & desired results are you wanting to achieve with the gtr beyond with what you succeeded with the z?? Don’t get me wrong I’m all in with being an enthusiast, i just assume the ultimate gtr is out there.

Maybe the trackhawk has been as well in regards to crazy hp...maybe that’s why it m more intrigued as having such a heavy beast of a vehicle being able to eat up smaller scooters seems so appealing??

Regardless I hope you take us along

We converted our Magnuson Camaro to T400, MW 9", GForce axles and DS and we've run into all kinds of issues since completed. We are in the process on going to a Holley Standalone EFI system like the COPO Camaro's run. Our car made 1150 something and ran into all kinds of problems with the converter/tranny. You just can't plant the much power with the A10 or A8. Low gear is basically worthless and when they ran it on the power tour last year the launched it in 2nd gear and ran best of 9.14@154 on unprepped tracks, junked the converter out doing that also. Its an expensive conversion also, but sound like you have the funds to do it so why not.

So let me understand. You wait 4 months for the build, get the car back, now selling?

I miss material evidence here?

What do you have done to the engine? Bottom end?
I wonder if you could get an F1-X in there?

Regarding the AMG Mercedes. My neighbour has an E63s AMG with the 5.5L TT.
We took it out the other day. It’s been tuned. Cold pavement and storage tires don’t mix well. I gotta say though, it gets out of the hole pretty fast. It was squirrely at times but still impressive none the less with being AWD and all.
Nice car for sure.
Still waiting for my ZLE to Arrive. Honestly I think once I get used to the ZLE I’m still gonna have my hands full trying to get in front of him. May have to put a small hose to my car as backup.

You have to roll run him. Which will be more to his advantage but better for you.
AWD M5s and AWD E63s will run hard. Some people have no idea how fast they are.

They’re ridiculously fast and they should be for 117K. Mercedes makes some sweet cars if you have the money to play.

Oh I’m well aware. Especially since his girlfriend who drag races a rail car, has run a slew of 11.20s at a bunch of different drag strips. The car has had some tuning work too I may add.
I think if we go from a dig I’m definitely gonna need a 17 with a DR on the back.
I’m getting ahead of myself. First I need the car to arrive and I have to get used to it’s quirks and abilities.

But you are right UL, they are nice looking cars but also kinda sleepers.

Nice to know. Thanks for chiming in.

Well, technically, I was already planning on selling it, but we did that hit at the track, so that delayed everything once the trans went bye bye. I only went to the track to get a #. But anyhow, this new trans is something else. Car feels way more engaged and way more smooth than last time.
