we weren't talking abot road courses...and since when does auto-x not show the true handling of a car. there are some incredibly technical tracks.

I mean this is a 5-6 thousand pound SUV handing me my ass.
Yeah, this thread started as Auto X, you are correct...

the debate over the SRT8GC and SVTf started over an auto x discussion...

Actually, if you read the post from the start, it is about someone racing a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and then we gather it was probably an SRT-8, then someone makes a comment about smoking it in the twisties, and that gets shot down. Then the thread finaly moves to Auto X. It started as a drag talk, and it jumped to Auto X, because that is the only place an SVT focus would have a chance, sorry, but it's true...

thats what i said! it is the only place. very few SVTfs could take down an SRT8GC in the straights.

I like that jeep in all honesty on the outside, the front fascia is awesome! I don't dig the interior too much though...I always like debates like this because people get so into them!!

Oh yeah, it performs well also! ;-)

You said it started as that, if you are going to be picky, be correct...
