Actually I would prefer ride height control on an SRT version with both hot street and decent trail capability, but thats just me. The SS396 El Camino never really hurt Chevy trucks much... different strokes and all that crap. The models I really don't much care for are the glorified mini-van models. Somehow there is something different between a Grand Cherokee with a big motor and factory lowering and a glorified mini-van with the Jeep name on it...at least to me. I could even see a street rod Wrangler that wouldn't tip over in corners... as long as it doesn't fornicate up the trail Wranglers. Sadly, the mini-van contingent seems more willing to buy crap. |

With one of them feeding each wheel independently, adjustable wheelspin controls, etc. Of course electric motors also tend to develop a tad of heat under load which probably shoots that idea in the head until the Flux Capacitor or a nuke power plant is more available. |
