I was just looking for general info 0-60 times, slalom, 60-0 brake times, quarter mile times etc.

I am just curios to see where they actually stack up. As some of you probly know I have recently purchased the jeep grand cherokee srt8, and am very happy with it, and of course have been flamed for lol. I am not intersted in off road capability, cargo area, or anyhting like that, just actual road course performance, and perhaps track performance. I dont plan to go off road, or to take mine to the track. I am just curious as to where the srt models actually stack up.

for instance I know that currently the srt8 has the fastest 0-60 for an suv, and that it beats the porche cyanne in 60-0 braking. I have not been able to find anything on its slalom times or other performance. I figured I might aswell include the other srt models aswell. Surely car and driver or someone similar have looked int the matter. anyone have any info?...freak

You bought a GCSRT-8 and you're not taking it offroad?! Nevermind, I won't get involved. The Srt cars stand up well in acceleration, economy, and luxury categories, but afaik, their handling isn't as good as their european/japanese counterparts. The Chrysler SRT team is the best America has to offer imo, next to the Corvette and Ford GT.
