I haven't clocked her but she'll do at least a 14 second quarter as is. Fast for a truck.
I must say that I admit to being jealous if you have a mostly-stock Cherokee that can outrun GMC Typhoons.
that's about all I'm going to say. This truck makes me a LOT of money.
Future plans are to scrap the swiss cheese body and build a slammed rod out of the entire drivetrain.
Since its so fast you run it at the strip all the time, right?
Think you'd beat a 4spd LS1 GTO?

it can't be making over 240hp
its weight being higher than an E36 M3's, there is just no way it is as fast.
And that isn't even looking at gearing or the absurdly large tires in comparison.
Otherwise, post up a slip.
Winning from a stop light doing a full 1/4 mile are also way different.
...and then say this:I haven't clocked her but she'll do at least a 14 second quarter as is.
Yeah, because I'm going to drive 300 miles to the nearest strip and clock it for you. Your approval is so important to me.
I, too, am extremely skeptical. 14.0 at the strip is a damn quick car...somewhere between a stock 350Z and E46 M3. If you've put all that time and money into it, why wouldn't you want to drive 300 miles to see what she'll do?
The stock curb weight of these XJ's are about 500 lbs heavier than the E36. Ooooooohhhhhh so heavy, it's like a tank. I have friends that weigh more than that. 500 pounds wasn't hard to shed.
And I'm guessing you must be a Yooper, people don't street race Jeep's in the part of Michigan where we speak correctly.![]()

This car right here does 11.5
Prove me wrong. Looks can be deceiving, so resist temptation to argue with the big boys.
500 pounds not hard to shed? Did you fully strip the interior and gut all the sound deadening, pull the spare, have power nothing, and removed any accessories? Because now it just looks like you are making numbers up.
It is theoretically possible to do a 14.xx quarter mile given the claimed horsepower and going by the stock Cherokee's weight of 3,479lbs. However, with a 200lb driver, fuel (20 gallons, 166lbs), a lift kit and bigger tires and you are talking a serious amount of weight added. Not to mention the performance parts and all the crap one keeps in their vehicle. So you're probably around 4,200lbs in weight and that puts you theoretically into the 15's.
This is all assuming the best possible conditions too and that your tires don't spin (which they will because they are useless on pavement). You also have extreme squat to deal with considering the raised suspension, axle wrap, and a worse aerodynamic coefficient.

Explain the educated part again?Again, I wasn't insisting upon 14. It was simply an educated guess. I don't understand the need to pick it apart.

True. But I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that the type of performance parts that one would equip to a vehicle to enhance off-road ability aren't the type of performance parts that one would equip to a vehicle to decrease weight.Performance parts don't necessarily add weight.
Probably has something to do with how you keep claiming that you "don't care about numbers" while at the same time repeatedly insisting that it is capable of those numbers and how we are uneducated fools for disagreeing.Again, I wasn't insisting upon 14. It was simply an educated guess. I don't understand the need to pick it apart.
Says the guy who claims to have a 14 second Jeep Cherokee.It is better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
