I dont think it was made to tow or off road, it was designed to eat Volvos unfortunately.

Damn I should have put forged rods and pistons in.

BTW rented an infinity G37 a few weeks ago in Houston on business, 320HP, RWD, 7speed auto very unassuming body. watch out I think it will smoke us too. The only advantage we have is that it's like the starship enterprise inside and the driver will be so distracted by all of the fluff, we're assured to to find an opportunity to out brake in a corner.

Default Chin up.

I would rather be spanked in a Volvo 1,000 times over than even be seen in such an ugly Jeep once.

True, I may not have the fastest car on the road... but I am in one of the most comfortable, best driving, and reasonable cars that I have had the privilege to drive.

You could drop in a new ECU, remove all your seats, tune your car to hell and back, and prove that a turbo 5 cylinder can give most production cars a run for their money.... but I like to think I am too classy to have to prove anything to anyone who lacks the cognitive ability to see they bought such an ugly, ugly, ugly car.

You can make anything go fast, but you can't give just anything class.

wow. you should install water injection system with more turbo in your 850, not that would have made much difference against a jeep with a v8.. lol i have dragged a nissan morano in a 940 gl and i beat it. but that has a v6 with 250 horse power or so.

Yeah and what about the tach??? 6500, in the red and running strong. However it did occur to me that it was on a dyno, I mean that was a pretty steady vid for? even a track.

I love the comments on that you tube video...
"238xxx mi, aren't you worried about the engine at 6500 rpm with that kind of road under her belt?"
"No, not really."
