sar4x4 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I've seen notes about the Hellcat / SRT Grand. But 707 hp in a short length/wide/tall/RWD Wrangler could be hard to tame at WOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82Yota Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Do the Jeep designers and engineers do a lot of drugs or something? It really seems like they are losing focus on what a Jeep is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the diesel option coming some year soon, why not take the Hemi option to the extreme ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82Yota Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I guess so but I have a feeling that the diesel option is only going to be a limited run. With California being a big slice of the 'Murican market, I really cant see them getting too much of a foothold there. Who knows, maybe next they will add a AWD system to a neon body and call it a eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Uhm...yeah...can't find the words. You guys break enough driveline parts as it is. Why not throw 500-700 HP at it, or 450-600 of torque? I've seen Zuks pass terrain that Jeeps can't. HP and, or, TQ is not the only answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82Yota Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 AND its not even Trail rated.... sheesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Honestly if they put the 707HP Hellcat V8 in the Jeep odds are they are beefing the axles to hold. Would be sweet to see this put in production in limited supply, as you wont have to downshift to fourth to get up hills on the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I wouldn't get too excited over it. It's a rig you'll see at SEMA and that's it. Hemis and LS swaps have been done before. Same mounts and all, just a more expensive supercharged engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope ... this is being built for Moab and will be wheeled there during the Easter Jeep Safari. I take it a lot of you guys have not seen what Mopar has built year after year for the EJS ... they make some WILD, fully functional rigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yeah the Jeep brand prototypes/concepts built for EJS are wonderful, and something not too wild to be put into production! Myself and my brother subscribe to 4 4x4 magazines. I get to read some things 4 times! That kind of torque, in 4:1 Rubicon style T:Case low range, locked front axle, up against some rock with lots of traction, and BAM! Takes some serious front axle U-Joints to handle that!

Eastcoastcam Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Well, their EJS prototypes are built to wheel... and make the rest of Jeep owners drool... . I would love to get my hands on that FC concept from a couple years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
