    Well, I really got my first all out run against a friend of mine who has a 360 Modena. I was quite shocked I paced him from about a 10MPH roll to just over 100. I realize they have a bit less power at 400 and a lot less torque, but the sheer weight savings I though would be enough for him to just obliterate me. :fear:

    I was pretty damn impressed with the Jeep after that run. It made my night. I've raced other friends with much quicker cars (one is a 400+hp STi) and he can beat me, but it just never really sank in how quick this road hog is....:grin:

    The ferrari owner refused to bring up mention of the race when we met later that night at our destination, and I figured he had enough embarrassment infront of his gf....

    I should probably also mention that it was about 25* out, so traction was definitely an issue and he did say he had one of his rear tires very low on pressure ( i think he said 15-20lbs) so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. But either way, I'm not dissappointed!

    Sounds like a blast. I get the same shocked look when I beat the mildly modded LS1s in my town. Priceless!
