Re: Jeep VS others
For 1/8 mile drags, that AWD is definitely a good thing. Most of the
results are what I might expect, but the 350z should beat the Jeep--probably
lit up the tires too much, and I suspect the WRX guy bogged and didn't get
the turbo spooled up very well. In all, you have an interesting list of
runs.

Re: Jeep VS others
In an answer to the 1/4 run. I run a decent 14.4. A lot of the Jeep
vs experiences would be different at a longer track.
If anyone wants to have my Jeep VS their car on a road course. I
would agree to it as long as they would then agree to an offroad
course and maybe a towing segment.
The list of vehicles that could beat a jeep in all those categorys is
very small.
Jeep VS Porsche Cayenne Turbo (probably, but $90,000?)
Jeep VS ML55 AMG (maybe)
Jeep VS BMW 4.8is (maybe)

What? A fast Jeep? Are Jeeps really that fast? This sounds like BS.
BS alert!

Maybe a Jeep vs another suv but sports cars?
