You do realize that an srt8 jeep is a chrysler product, right?

Buy an old 5.9 Grand Cherokee and keep your Camaro

Gas mileage.

All together just a lot better then the Camaro for what I need to do. Just sucks cause I <3 my Camaro and I would have no choice but to sell it then figure out where to get a bunch more money for the TBSS.

I just don't see why you can't just park the Camaro and buy something, oh I don't know, more practical?
If you think your TB SS is going to get through the snow with those low-profile Goodyear piles of ****, you are sadly mistaken. You might be lucky to get through light to medium rain with them.
Look, do what you want, but if I had a massive life change where I now have to travel long distances, through various climate changes, and you want to pick a 400hp SUV with 20 inch wheels?

I figured i could get enough performance out of the TBSS to keep me happy and it would be a good amount better in the rain and snow situations and WORLDS better at the people and stuff carrying. I know it wouldn't be the most practical thing to do and i also didnt expect it to be. And i would also have no problem buying a beater wrangler or something but i have absolutely no room left as is for another vehicle it looks like im trying to run a car lot out of a 1 car garage and 2 car driveway right now >_<

I have driven through plenty of bad weather. Yes the stock tires suck. But it's not nearly as bad as you are making it al

ive had both and can say with 100% accuracy the jeep is better in every way other then the hitch for class 3 just because it needs to be modded to fit slightly.

and for "chrysler" comments. i have 113k on my jeep srt8 and the only issue ive had was the rad fan need to be replaced just last week. so other then oil i have $180 into repairs over those miles.

JerzLT1 12-27-2011 07:26 AM

Initial cost of said jeep?

4thGenJunkie 12-27-2011 01:39 PM

New the jeep is like 8k more, nowhere near worth it to me but whatever floats your boat I guess

LS1ow 12-27-2011 01:42 PM

Can't tow, isn't diesel, and in the end, its a jeep that can't even offroad/mud

it cant, thats why they got rid of the center exhaust. no, it isnt a diesel. yet to be determined, i havent had the chance yet.

4thGenJunkie 12-27-2011 01:48 PM

diesels <3

LS1ow 12-27-2011 01:48 PM

yea im just gunna agree with were this thread is going, buy a cummins and be happy with everything in life.

LTb1ow 12-27-2011 01:50 PM

Tune it, stack it, and be happy not owning a jeep product.

Only downside is, there is no chance of becoming a mod without owning a jeep.

4thGenJunkie 12-27-2011 01:55 PM

As far as gas SUVs go still stickin with the TBSS never changing my mind on that one, and I've been looking at duramax's and old cummins

LTb1ow 12-27-2011 02:01 PM

Fairly certain a dmax gets better MPG than the TBSS.

4thGenJunkie 12-27-2011 02:03 PM

lmao i wouldnt doubt it im saving my diesel adventures until im done with school or at least thats the plan for now

band77one 12-27-2011 06:53 PM
