2007 Srt-8 Jeep Grand Cherokee- Powerful, Fast, Many Upgrades!!!!! on 2040-cars
Elmsford, New York, United States
|
I am the original owner of this vehicle. It was my daily driver and toy for 5 years until last year. There are many performance upgrades including Corsa exhaust (deep rumble without drone- THE best exhaust for these vehicles), B. Woody Cold Air Intake, B. Woody Lowering Springs, B.Woody Sway Bar End Links and a custom tune which is included with the Diablosport Preditor. (You are free to select any tune you wish (including the stock factory tune) at any time.) The tires have been upgraded to the massive Vredstiens which are the best tire I have ever had on this vehicle. The rears are 305 and the fronts are 275. I would estimate that the tires have about 65-70% life left on them.
The vehicle has 73K miles but I have just installed a new engine from a totaled 2007 SRT-8 Charger with 26k miles. I blew the engine while instructing students at Pocono Raceway late in 2012. The car is mechanically sound and blistering fast. In addition to the approximately 450HP the engine produces the huge Brembo Brakes with custom Carbotech Pads can pull this 5000lbs vehicle to a stop startingly fast. With the upgraded suspension it handles well enough for a race track. (The car has seen approximately 7-8 track days). In 2010 this vehicle was featured in the Robin Hood Rally, a reality show which featured high performance street and race cars competing on closed public roads to raise money for charity. While production isn't complete and I am bound by confidentiality agreements, I can tell you that were more 40 drivers of cars such as Porsches, Corvettes and Ferarris who were shocked at being beat by a Jeep! (But then again this ISN'T your average Jeep). In keeping with the theme of the Robin Hood Rally I will be donating a portion of the sales of this vehicle to CancerCare through eBay's Giving Works. This vehicle represents the perfect balance of daily driver and toy. Given the fact that it has been used and enjoyed as a vehicle like this should, the exterior paint shows the typical signs of tiny rock chips, dings and imperfection (mostly on the front end and rocker panels). The paint is still shiny and deep (just buffed and waxed) and the car looks perfect from 10 feet away. The wheels as well have some minor curb rash and discoloration from brake dust as the custom brake pads made by Carbotech for the Robin Hood Rally are very harsh. I will include both the Carbotech track pads plus a brand new set of Hawk HPS Plus street pads (which are more than adequate for daily driving). I believe I have some additional EBC Yellow pads which I will include as well. The interior is in excellent condition and was just shampooed. I will include a fresh set of front mats. The rear mats are perfect as the back seat was hardly used. I am selling the vehicle with no reserve and my opening bid is VERY reasonable (just check out others here). In general, this is an extremely FUN, extremely fast and mechanically sound vehicle that should give you many years of fun and turn many heads as its powerful, deep rumble commands attention. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the vehicle will be listed locally and on several of the forums. You can inspect the vehicle at my home in North White Plains, NY. Please contact me via eBay's "Ask the Seller a Question" feature. |

2014 Jeep Cherokee facing production delay
Fri, 17 May 2013Jeep's bold-faced new direction spearheaded by the 2014 Cherokee is facing some teething issues. According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, production start-up of the controversial new utility vehicle at its Toledo North facility is running about a month behind schedule "due to a wide range of issues." That's according to Mark Chernoby, senior vice president of engineering at Chrysler.
Chernoby maintains that the issues being encountered aren't unusual for the launch of a new vehicle - particularly one with a new powertrain - and he downplayed the delay, telling Jeep dealers that they "will have ample inventory of the midsize SUV by fall." Among the kinks being worked out? Calibrating the Cherokee's cutting-edge ZF nine-speed automatic transmission and refining assembly line tasks to make the process more efficient.
Chrysler expects to start building retail-ready versions of the Cherokee around mid-June, with official sales slated to start in September.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
