So if you could tell Jeep to enhance the GC SRT what would you sensibly ask for?

A Heads-up Display?
Ventilated rear seats?
Cooled steering wheel?
Integrated Dash Cam in the rear view mirror?

Thoughts.....

haha I only call the SRT hotline for my stuff they always schedule my services etc for me at their Approved SRT shops they always get me a rental or courtesy rental at places that don't normally do it. even get scheduled ahead of others sometimes haha.

But I have to drive 45 mins to get to that dealer vs 5 mins for my local dealer.

I would request a track package for those actually looking to use theirs for track days. So, cut some weight, a front camera with overlay abilities like in the Corvette, more track oriented suspension, larger oil cooler, a rear diff cooler, stainless steel brake lines, an area for front and rear tow hooks (for the track, not like the double ones in the lesser GC's) and as said earlier, ability to tune ECU.
Adding aftermarket intake and exhaust is useless on these vehicles.

The Jeep SRT will never be a "track" car, except maybe the dragstrip. No amount of weight reduction will help this fact. The only thing it is good for is towing your racecar to the track in style.

I track my Nissan 370Z regularly and I have tracked the SRT too at California Speedway. It is actually quite capable and a lot of fun with the 30/70 AWD in corner exit. Body roll is minimal, but I think a dedicated package would be awesome for those like us when my wife wants to track the vehicle we towed our track car with.

I think there are some weight savings on the 2016. A few parts were converted to aluminum if i'm not mistaken.

The two things I would like changed to make this SRT perfect in my eyes are the seats and steering wheel. I believe the seats could have more side bolster similar to the Cayenne, to feel more snug. I also think the steering wheel diameter can be a little bit smaller to give it a better feel.

In no particular order...

1. Step the interior up again. The seats look cheap as hell. Possibly offer a dark high quality wood gain similar to whats available on the high end Mercedes. r
2. Better suspension. NOT smoother. Just better.
a. Either adaptive air that cannot be slammed. I don't want to make it any easier for the ghetto lovers to ruin their SRT
b. Wheels more flush with the fenders. The X5M, ML63, and Cayenne TT do this well. Now ofcourse I don't want it retard slammed like the RM extreme. You still need to be able to pop a curb.
3. SRT Gauges should be available at all times when the car starts. It shouldn't be an app
4. A better stereo! My Silverado High Country with Bose radio blows the HK away. My friends Denali with Bose is insane!
5. More leather options.
6. a one:eek:ne program like the Viper gets.
7. Lose about 500#s
8. Hellcat motor as the only motor available. Two tiers of SRT is silly.
9. Power fold mirrors
10. Faster power liftgate and able to stop at a particular position like my wife's Mercedes ML
11. Better navigation system. This hit a letter and wait 5 seconds before you can hit the next is annoying
12. Better offset on OEM wheels. The Jeeps wheels should fit so well that we don't need aftermarkets
13. Exclusive service at select dealers for certain SRT vehicles. Any SRT that retails for over $60k maybe. Or maybe make it $65k.
14. Better brand control. If some silly motivational IG goofball wants to put a bunch of stupid ****ing glow lights and color changing demon eyes all over their Jeep, SRT should reserve the right to force a buy back so these turds can no longer deface the Jeep. Then they can get a voucher for a Charger so they can ghetto that up! I can't stand white trash mods on these rigs

I very much agree with #13. As a SRT owner, the customer service at the dealership service area is terrible. I have yet to feel comfortable going to a dealer for service. Both in CA and NC.

Yikes, I am a new owner and the only thing I miss from my Tahoe is the folding mirrors...and barely that. The HK stereo in this thing DESTROYS the Bose in my Tahoe AND the Bose in my wife's 2015 Q50. I have the 19 speaker system I believe, and it sounds amazing. Haven't used the nav yet, so can't comment on that, but I love the Uconnect and it also rocks the socks off the UI in the infinity and Tahoe.

If I had to add something other than the mirrors, it might be wider meats out back and a better fit in fender for the 20"s as a few have mentioned....
