    I received an e-mail this evening letting me know that my Jeep has been selected for this years event :clapping: There is only 75 vehicles selected, so I feel it is a great honer to be selected and yes it is the only Grand Cherokee on the list! :yahoo: :yahoo:

    For those of you that have not been following the build here is the link

    Go get up. Congrats and good luck

    I was building my Z28 to do just that with Beck Racing Engines BRE in Phoenix. Took over 2 years to get my motor done and lost interest. Started playing with the 300 and haven't looked back.

    Sweet man! Not only is it the only Grand Cherokee but the only SUV all together. People are gonna see you pull up and laugh at the jeep until you wax them down the track and they see your KY jelly sticker on the back:harhar:

    kY jelly....LOL

    I am sure that beast will hold it's own. I agree that most observers will see a black jeep and think WTF is that doing here.
    Thats one of the best things about these vehicles is that they are sleepers. Then you lean on it and the guy next to you (assuming he knows nothing about SRT8s) feeling like a horse's #$%.

    Can't wait to see some dyno numbers on that bad boy after it's dialed in.
