Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 vs Porsche 911 Turbo Drag Race Is Surprisingly Close

Well, if the SUV packs as many mods as the one fitted to the SRT8 in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page, the answer is a big, fat "yes". Speaking of which, while we don't have the complete list of tech goodies found drivers the car, we can tell you this high-riding beast packs full bolt-ons, as well as a nitrous setup.

As for the Porsche, we have to start with the model itself, which seems to be a Turbo S instead of the "normal" Turbo mentioned in the video. Regardless, the supercar comes with an ECU remap.

As we mentioned in the title, once the Christmas Tree turns green, the fight becomes extremely close, but we'll stop the spoiler-throwing part of the velocity story here.

When it comes to the aural side of the brawl, though, the Grand Cherokee is the clear winner, dominating the 1,320 feet run from start to finish.

Battles such as the one seen here are set to become much more interesting starting next season, since Grand Cherokee driver's won't necessarily have to turn to the aftermarket in order to look like drag strip heroes.

That's because Jeep engineers are currently working to complete the final development stage of the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.

We've talked about the Hellcat-animated SUV on multiple occasions and yet we're still in doubt when it comes to its output. Hopefully, the power-accommodating issues related to the all-wheel-drive system, which reportedly showed up in the early development stages of the car, have been overcome. After all, we're hoping the full 707-pony enchilada and not a downtuned version of the blown HEMI as we got with the Ram Rebel TRX Concept.
