Default C7 has a new big sister

It was time to get a new car for my wife. After much debate we settled on this. Stuffing a 707hp hellcat motor into a Jeep doesn't sound logical. But it sure is a blast to drive. So much traction.

Thinking of getting a Trackhawk myself to replace our aging SUV. There are times when an SUV or truck is necessary for us, living on rural property! And I like the Trackhawk a lot better than any truck on the market.

I'd highly recommend taking one out for a rip. It's still a Jeep at heart, but can do sub 12 quarters. Crazey.

I never heard of one before this post, I think I ran into one this week end on a long trip, I had a white jeep come along side me and drove with me awhile trying to egg me on for a run. I did not want to engage with him as I though it would be no contest, I was also returning from a shooting match and was in a non friendly gun state and I did not want any interactions from the police . Little did I know I might of had my head handed to me by that Jeep

I thought it was just an SRT jeep. My wifes SUV could out run the SRT'S

Someone even found a way to stuff a Hellcat into a Wrangler. This custom 6x6 sold at Barrett Jackson this past weekend for over 150K.

Yeah, that Trailhawk is a very vehicle. Wouldn’t mind having one myself although the price is .

I bet that thing is a blast to drive and it'll be fun as heck blowing away young Mustang owners in the stoplight drag race in that sleeper!

Maybe if you got a chevy Blazer, that would have been a sister.

Of course us in Toronto would never do that due to street racing laws and risk of $10K fine and license suspension. Just being on the record here...

You don't need to be from blood to have a brother or a sister. Will be interesting to see how the new Blazer does. I miss the old school 4x4's. I had a '83 Grand Wagnoneer when I was younger. All business. No fluff.
