Can't wait for the pictures so we can hear how bad the wheels are.:lol:
Great. I just pee'd myself laughing at this! Time to go home, but thanks for the good laugh.

And I'm so glad I'll be buying a 2015 in 2014 with the new display and now track version! :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

Re: JeepGarage.Org exclusive!!!!!!!!!!!!! Special Edition Grand Cherokee SRT8 Track?

So would this be a variant of the Maserati version?

Where does the extra hp come from - another HEMI version, supercharger?

I think this is good news either way....even for folks buying now...that means there will be bolt on parts...suspension, brakes, exhaust for modding.

I guess this news turned me into a tweener....I was ordering next summer, now do I wait a year for the more gooder stuff?

:eek:

Thanks for the info.....I think.:rolleyes:

Can a brother get a curb weight on this beast????? They gotta sprinkle some carbon fiber body panels in there ;-)

Jizzz. Great news. I assume it will be an appearance/performance package similar to the superbee.

not at all...think lighter and faster

^^^^^if this model(meaning wk2 and wk2 srt) progresses and sells well....there will be MANY enhancements along the life of this platform. I think Milous mentioned yesterday he had some exciting news for the wk2 and wk2 srt for this span of its life. BUT...if your one of those people that puts off buying what you want...for something that is rumored to happen or is in early stages of development....it will be this was the rest of your life.....LOL.

My guess is that this wouldn't come with a lot of the creature comforts though, thus making it a true "track" version.

Re: JeepGarage.Org exclusive!!!!!!!!!!!!! Special Edition Grand Cherokee SRT8 Track?

it will be a lighter version

So jeep took a page out of Porsche!Jeep just screwed all the resale value of the 2012 srt8's,well those who plan on keeping them won't mind about the resale value but for me and a lot of other people we're pissed off.

it will be a very limited edition and may not even be track prepped...just a step up in performance. I dont see it hurting resale of any other SRT8 Jeep AT ALL!

Re: JeepGarage.Org exclusive!!!!!!!!!!!!! Special Edition Grand Cherokee SRT8 Track?

What I want to know is why make a WK8 track version when they don't even have a Charger track version?? Do they have a Viper track version anymore even? I know Baxter BPG has a SHLOAD of Vipers, mostly tuned to the maxxx, but is there an official track version for anything else, let alone an SRT, let alone an SUV which isn't really all that great for track?? Or do they mean 1/4 mile only edition?? :D

Re: JeepGarage.Org exclusive!!!!!!!!!!!!! Special Edition Grand Cherokee SRT8 Track?

there will also be a challenger and charger version with some of the same componets. This is more of a special edition geared towards more performance. i dont see it hurting the resale of the 2012's at all.

Re: JeepGarage.Org exclusive!!!!!!!!!!!!! Special Edition Grand Cherokee SRT8 Track?

Milous or Scott, can you give us one bit of info on the go fast goodies?
Are we talking F/I?
It's got to be substantial if it hits the 550HP mark from the 465 now.
That with some weight savings has me very intriqued.
Thank you RALPH GILLES!!!!!
I knew the move to make SRT a seperate brand would bring ripe fruits for the picking!
