With more and more units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk reaching the world, the introduction of examples touched by the aftermarket wand is inevitable. However, we're not here to discuss a modded Trackhawk, but a Grand Cherokee SRT that had been gifted with Trackhawk bits.
According to the brief title of the video at the bottom of the page, the GC SRT that sits before us packs a Trackhawk differential and axles.

And it seems that the stronger drivetrain allows the driver to make full use of the 6.4-liter HEMI's muscle, with the video showcasing the Jeep pulling a burnout.

Now, this isn't the kind of barely smoking episode. Oh no. Instead, the SRT brings a massive burnout that properly punishes the rear tires.

Speaking of which, there's one developer out there that has already introduced the idea of a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk burnout.

We're referring to Hennessey Performance, which has come up with a switch that allows the one behind the wheels to bring the rear tires up to temperature before a drag race.

"The Hennessey team also created a unique feature that converts their Trackhawk to rear-wheel drive mode. This allows the driver to put heat in the rear tires by performing a rear wheel burnout at the dragstrip. Once the burnout is completed, just flip the switch and go back into AWD mode for maximum traction and acceleration," we are being told.

And since we're talking about brief use, we're expecting the hardware to remain in one piece through the maneuver. After all, burnout serve at least two purposes, as they warm up the rear tires before a drag race and put on a show.

Then again, with the Texan specialist having promised to take the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk all the way to 1,200 horsepower, this is another story for another time.
