sts-v?

[adamcs]

Been looking at possibly getting an sts-v, just wondering if anybody has had any experience with them and can give me some opinions, I'm looking at like 05-06 models and I've been finding them all day for less than 20k with decent mileage on them.

There is no '05 model. :hide:

Yea it has a 4.4 v8 supercharged that makes 470 factory

[blkscls1z]

Never heard of those. Wikipedia says they run 13.1 stock. Not too bad for a 4200+lb car.

What is the tow capacity? Lol

Before I got the G8 gt I was trying to get one. But no one wanted to budge on pricing.

Plus, I have never herd anyone praising the Northstar, supercharged or not. So I got the G8. Also, iirc, mod's are super pricey and few and far between....the pulley/tune was something like 2k?

If that is OP's price range. Jeep SRT8 all day ury day. I miss mine.....I do not however, miss the 10-12mpg.

Mine was stock, at Dorchester 1/8th My best time was 8.6 with a 1.8x 60ft....bone stock. Not bad for a 5800lb truck.

The body style srt8 jeep you had did not come with a towing package. Tbss does. New srt8 jeep that has towing package is more expensive

Mine actually did. I believe 4500lbs? For the option , it went behind the exhaust.

Came with the adapter as well.


edit: Mine was kinda like this: http://www.hitchsource.com/jeep-grand-cherokee-srt8-trailer-hitch-07-10-class-p-27683.html
And yes, factory option.

Looking in all the wrong places.

I bought mine in 2010 and it was 22k, 07, 48k miles, with custom stereo system, all options (rear dvd with wireless headphones).


If you want me to find one for you sub 24k I can with decent-ish miles. Keep in mind they are tanks....no major issues....

I can say I sold mine to Rick Hendrick for 26.5k and they tried to sell it at the other Rick Hendrick Jeep for 33k. I laughed.....

To add, You would be very happy with a G8. It's quite the platform to mod with. Amazing daily driver. I do miss mine however, the mod bug killed my wallet.

Other options, first gen cts-v, jeep srt8, tbss, lighting, 300 srt8, g37 coupe.

Hell, even the new BRZ or FRZ scion/subaru......that thing is getting massive awesome reviews.....
