New York Auto Show: 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8
There's not much we don't know about this one. The Jeep version of the SRT-8 gets 415 horsepower out of the 6.1 Hemi, which will make it one of the fastest SUVs. The SRT-8 looks really good, and the center exhaust looks nice (no towing?) hanging on the rear. Hey, I'm a fan of big horsepower. The Jeeps debuted at Camp Jeep on the dirt test track. Oh, and it's snowing in NY.

First of all-- This is a sweet Jeep. I have a 2004 Limited 4.7lH.O right now, and I cant wait for the SRT 8. Mine now is fast as hell-- This one will rip up the road. Super high acceleration. If you wanna tow, then buy a Tahoe or Suburban. This is for urban, street excitment with most of the benefits of a utility...Size, snow and rain conditions, etc. And don't forget how no one liked the new body style at first when it came out in 99. It just needs some getting used to. I guarantee that anyone making fun of this car wont be laughing too long when your their sad lil 3.2L V6 is smoked and left in the dust after being next to an SRT 8. Thumbs up Jeep-- I cant wait to buy one. Oh yes-- I am a girl too-- just happen to be a car buff

Marilyn Monroe's mole was hot, just like the rest of her. This jeep's going to be awesome, and my money's on the exhaust not being like that once the production version appears.

I'm tired of reading comments from the automotive 'authorities' in the peanut galleries. The reality is this, most of you stupid cock-suckers could not afford to buy the vehicles comment on in these blogs anyway. Please do the rest of us a favor. Shut the F--- up! Thank you.

I was hoping SRT was going to use the Durango for the SRT-8 SUV. When the Magnum SRT-8 was anounced I was sure I would get it, but then I saw how many Magnums were being "BLING BLINGED" and I got turned off. They are also too low to the ground. This Jeep is next best after the Durango...can't wait.

So isn't there something more interesting than tow capacity? For instance, color? :)
I'm serious- BTW!

ok people, you all lose! It's a concept, the pipes won't be under the center of the rear bumper.
count on it.
