My Buddy who is a tech at Land Rover just showed up at my office in a brand new, fresh off the truck Range Rover.

Pearl White with Camel leather interior. Fucking. Beautiful.

And I'll tell you, 120MPH feels like 30...

I need new undies...

How much power? It'd be an interesting run for a Grand Cherokee SRT8.

Sorry, forgot about specs.

4.2l Supercharged V8 (BMW) - 390 horsepower
6-Speed Auto
Four Piston Brembo Brakes

From what I've seen, the SRT-8 Cherokee will run circles around this thing, just because of a greater power:weight ratio. The Range Rover weighs 5671lbs., with 390hp. The Jeep weighs 4819lbs, with 425hp.....

But I can guarantee you that the Land Rover will be 100x better on a long-ass trip than the jeep. And the air suspensions makes it handle like a car.

Is that by any chance the M60 or M62?

Honestly, I couldn't tell you. But I'll ask my buddy and see if he can find out.

I LOVE the SRT8s though, they just look mean. I'm a huge fan of Jeeps anyways though. My brother is selling his Z06 near the end of the year and he's trying to decide between the 335i and the SRT8. I can't decide which to tell him cause I like them both :p

I honestly prefer the look of the Trailblazer SS more, along with the fact the trailer hitch is still usable. But the SRT8 is pretty bad ass regardless. I think it's Hennessey that has a pretty mean upgrade package for it. Something like 550 hp.

Yeah, I think it's a 600hp package....supposed to beat 911 Turbos, etc. Yes please :p

And yeah, the SS is awesome too. I was in my friends Escalade EXT (400hp or something like that...whatever they are) and he floored it to get past this Trailblazer that was going slow on an entrance ramp to the freeway and I started laughing because the guy looked over and got mad (I had already seen it was an SS) so he got on it and passed us instead, haha.

The rims weren't the best think to look at I think they might have been stock??? they had the stock center piece at least.
How much do one of these run for???

N. O. NO. Those are not stock rims. And that one looks to be a 5-passenger model, which would make the retail $75,000 to start.
