Driving a sport/utility vehicle on the track was once about as much fun as playing beach volleyball in loafers. No more. After taking the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 around California's Willow Springs Raceway, we can visualize a showroom-stock race series built on this remarkable new SUV.Not only was Jeep's ueber-ute an absolute hoot ripping off laps at Willow, it also scorched most of the competition in the sprints, muscling its way in between Mercedes-Benz's mighty ML55 AMG and Porsche's Cayenne Turbo as one of the quickest sport/utilities we've ever tested. The Grandest of Cherokees recorded a 0-to-60-mph time of 4.8 seconds compared with the Porsche's 5.1, and the Jeep didn't let up, beating the turbo Cayenne to 100 and in the quarter mile, 13.5 seconds at 101.6 mph versus 13.6 at 101.8. It also beat the Cayenne in the slalom and recorded higher lateral gs on the skidpad. Admittedly, the 4800-pound Jeep has a slight weight advantage on the 5000-pound Porsche, but if it works for Lotus, why not for a family car? The Jeep SRT8 is the 11th of the hyperkinetic kids fostered for the Chrysler Group since the Street and Race Technology development center was created in 2002. It's also the first sport/ute and the first Jeep to benefit from SRT's extreme-performance makeover, which begins with massive engine power, here a larger-bore version of the Grand Cherokee's 5.7-liter Hemi (which delivers only 330 horsepower). The 6.1-liter then was extensively tweaked to produce its 420 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, delivered to all four wheels through a special torque converter to an SRT-upgraded five-speed automatic gearbox and then on to the front and rear differentials through a specially designed transfer case. The result is smooth, linear, and thrilling doses of power, accompanied by a soundtrack that only a large-displacement V-8 engine in full tune can compose.
SRT methodology insists on track-capable suspension and commanding brakes. As well as its usual tuning to shocks, springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings, SRT lowered the ride height an inch, recalibrated the Electronic Stability Program, and fit high-performance 20-inch Goodyear radials on lightweight forged alloys, staggered in size to exploit the rear-biased powertrain. Four-piston Brembo brakes with big, vented rotors provide excellent clamping force at each corner.The superbly balanced chassis, giant contact patches, and aggressively tuned ABS and ESP electronics make willing dance partners to a heavy right foot. For a vehicle so tall, it feels entirely stable in the bends, and the adept driver can use the brakes and throttle as well as the steering in finding the quickest way through the corners. On the way home from the track? Sink back into the comfortable, well-bolstered seats and relax. The SRT8 also is a quiet, compliant cruiser.The Jeep SRT8 may be a utilitarian supercar, but it's not a perfect supercar. The steering felt a bit darty, and the transmission sometimes ignored our request for a downshift. No matter: Perhaps the most astonishing element of the Grand Cherokee's extreme makeover is its $39,995 price. When did supercars, boxy or not, AWD or whatever, become so affordable?

North Carolina driver charged for flattening Trump sign
Thu, Mar 17 2016Police in Wilmington, NC are investigating a viral video that shows a local man driving off the road to run over a Trump for President campaign sign. Julien Schuessler of Wilmington posted a video to Facebook on March 15 showing him driving his white Jeep off the road in a reckless manner to smash a Trump sign. He captioned the video, "I love having a Jeep sometimes." The video immediately went viral, reaching nearly a million views and 25,000 shares in less than twenty-four hours. Any elation Schuessler may have felt at having his video go viral was short lived, though. According to WWAY, Wilmington Police were tipped off to the existence of the video on the afternoon of March 16. They were, understandably, less than pleased. In an official tweet, WPD stated that they were aware of the video and were investigating. A spokesperson for the WPD stated that Schuessler faces multiple charges for his little stunt, including hit and run, reckless driving, and failure to maintain lane control. WWAY reached out to Schuessler for comment, but he has declined to respond.

Chrysler accelerates Jeep recall repairs from 2018 to March
Thu, 17 Jul 2014
You may remember that Jeep's unusual fix for this recall involves fitting a trailer hitch.
The recall of about 1.5 million models of the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee over fuel tanks may finish far sooner than originally estimated. In a new filing from Jeep's parent, Chrysler Group, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says that it can complete the repairs for the affected vehicles by March 2015, much sooner than the previous estimate of sometime in 2018. Jeep predicts the total cost of the campaign will be around $151 million.
