Default Trded C7 for this

The time had come for my vette to go. I agonized over this for 6 months. The biggest reason is that with values going down and the car sitting in storage for 3-4 months, I decided to put that cash to good use in something fun yet able to drive year round. I still will have a 911 to have fun with but for now Im leaving the vette community. I will be back though. In meantime this is my new beast to drive and man is it fun. Loads of getty up and luxury too. Now to get it away from the wifey so I can drive too!
SRT GRAND CHEROKEE. 475 PONIES AND LOADS OF TORQUE TOO.
Surprising it handles a lot like the vette only larger.
Cheers!

Nice, and you can even do 4 wheel burnouts (kind of)

Enjoy the new ride.

Congrats. I considered one before getting my vette. But it's a little out of my price range.

As you can see in my signature picture I have a 2014 Jeep GC SRT and it is my daily driver. It is a beast and fun as hell to drive. It drives so much like a car that if you don't look in the mirrors you forget you are driving an SUV. I have Cold Air Intake and Borla exhaust and it sounds as good as my C7...

Congrats on your SRT and if you don't already love it, just drive it some more and you will!!!

Still like the C7 better, but if you have to compromise that is not a bad way to go.

TSK, tsk ..... such a disappointment to dreamers .......

Handles a lot like a corvette? HEMI HP does have a positive affect, but a Corvette is supposed to do those twisty things better than the alternatives. Being shut up by winter weather is reported by some to blunt the senses. Fingers crossed your perspective is skewed by the fun of getting to go out and play again. Pat

That is one sweet looking Grand Cherokee inside and out. Tons of power too.

Fortune for me I have two other cars besides my C7 so having it sit in the garage for a few months works out for me.

That sucks. I'd hate to not be able to drive my car 12 months out of the year.

Hope it's as much fun as the vette!

My wife has a 2014 Grand Cherokee (not an SRT). I was concerned about the reliability, but we have had zero issues and she loves the SUV.
