You're being sarcastic (with the little "I jest"), right? I mean you can't possible infer that the E92 is ugly when you're driving that big "box," can you?

that color is much hotter than the black imo. it still lets all the lines standout.

A sad day indeed when a Jeep guy knows more about BMW than a BMW enthusiast.

Also, what part of my post did you not understand about how a PROcede-equipped 335i has almost 400BHP and ~ 450 lb.-ft. TQ AND weighs > 650 lbs. LESS than the 300C SRT-8? OMG!!!!...I just looked it up...the Jeep GC weighs 4,819 lbs.!!!! That means the 335i weighs > 1,219 lbs. LESS than your POS Jeep GC SRT-8!!!!! And, you really think that it can still beat a PROcede-equipped 335i? What drugs are you on, pal? One last thing...with gas prices approaching $3.00 again, how does it feel to drive a POS BUS that gets 12mpg City and 15mpg Hwy (and that's mfgr ratings when driving "easy" like an old fart)?????? Being the RACER you are, you must get 9mpg in the city and 12mpg on the Highway!!!! My brother used to have a Hummer H2 that got better mileage than that!! http://www.edmunds.com/new/2007/jeep...974/specs.html btw -- I'll be sure to let you know when I have another run with that same guy in that same 300C SRT-8...I think he lives in my area as we both got off the same exit that day.

compensating for something with a brand name?!?!?!?.....what are you trying to insinuate.....dooooood....you're a walking discombobulation...first things first, your srt-8 is a sugar-coated piece of chit...sry(the engine being the sugar, everything else the chit )......having test driven one and minutes from purchasing it, i can and will say something about the JGC SRT-8....while the engine may be a success and hardly something to sneer at, the rest of the car is poorely organized and constructed.....the interior reminds of me of a tonka trunk i used to zoom around in as a kid...........the maneuvarability decent, but hardly impressive.......and the solidity of the car is laughable, as is the reliability of the jeep line in general..........you succeeded in getting bang for your buck, but, to be frank and concise, your JGC SRT-8 and attitude epitomize failure and to put things to rest.... imo, any EXX post E46 has been bangled but to those of you that are still too fast, too furious....my stock m3 easily outruns a JGC SRT-8 and i ensure you that a proceded 335i will walk me.....do the rest of the math Last edited by E(@M#; 04-07-2007 at 12:28 AM.. |

SRT8 http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/reviews/rt2527a.shtml 335i http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do.../pageId=105658 335i http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/reviews/rt2624b.shtml Dave, as you can see from the links above, the 335i is the faster car. The Jeep is quick, no doubt. Especially off the line. But by the time the quarter mile rolls around, the BMW is far ahead. And this is at sea level. At your elevation, the 6.1 V8 essentially becomes a 5.2 V8 putting out 365hp. This simply won't be a challenge to a twin-turbo 335i. And if it has a PROceed, You'll need a supercharger to keep up.

Have any magazines ever posted times as quick as these with a stock 335? Anyone in the wild done better? Keep in mind in the wild Grand SRT8s have posted times as low as 12.8s and quite a few have done 13.0s. I agree with the comment about elevation but I'm still up for a friendly run or two. |

As far as a stock E46 M3 beating a Grand SRT8 in a straight line? Hah. |

^^^cut pretty deep?...that was funny, in all seriousness....but, you think too highly of yourself as well as your car......selective reading ftl....www.dragtimes.com provides raw, real-world numbers....i have posted a 13.06 at 107.2 at a drag strip before, faster than any stock and slightly modded SRT-8....as a whole, bmw's are more reliable than jeep's but to each his own
when comparing an s.u.v. to a coupe in regards to performance....the comparison does become rather elementary and your car's handling is weak....i would love to see what numbers our respective cars would post on a track, a more definitive measurement of handling |

DAVE amd Socalsrt8, why are you guy/gal here on this forum. why don't you go back to your forum and start trouble there. The ignorance and attitude in your posts prove nothing but more hatred for your "kind". True from a dig those 1/4 time might prove faster since you have awd and able to hook up better. But what the point of getting a heavy fast truck that can't do what it was meant to do and that is towing(where does the tow hitch go?) and off road off road capability(ground clearance?). Must be a POS then.
And let not talk about racing on a true with more than right hand turn track either since that boat of yours will "capside" quickly.
