Make it an endurance race- the krautmobiles will fall to pieces before
the Jeep :-p

Escalade = big fat pig. And the 5.9 Magnum with the mods mentioned has
"alot" (sic) of power too.

More like dry lightning. Smokable by a Grand Cherokee without even
working up a sweat. Plus you can always tow 'em home with the Grand
after they crap out.

Lotsa power !=fast. Lotsa power + low weight + gearing = fast

Can't see it remotely.

Both cars weigh almost exactly 4000lb.

The GC has puts out 245hp from its 5.9 litre V8,
and 335 lb/ft torque. It does 0-60 in 7.3 seconds.
That's 41 bhp / litre. It has a 4 speed auto.

The M5 puts out 507 hp from its V10 engine,
and 383 lb/ft torque. It does 0-62 in 4.7 seconds.
That's 100 bhp / litre. It has a 7 speed auto.
De-retricted, it will reputedly do almost 205 mph
