Thread: Jeep with 470hp hemi

So what your saying Brian, is the mighty 3.5 is gutless. Hemi, mmmmmmmmm

You mean something like the new RRS with a supercharged, 508bhp 5.0 V8 Brian?

Too small?

I've just back from visiting family in the UK and fuel is about 40% more expensive there than in Aus. I had a 4.2 Super Charged Range Rover in the UK and it cost me a fortune in fuel - was worth it though !

I'd agree. It may have been "outstanding" (?) in the original 2-door, way back then, but .....

My '95 Classic 3.9 V8 (low mileage) was, and still is a gutless wonder. Towing a 6x4 trailer with a double bed on board and the acceleration is, well, embarrasing.

The '95 GU Patrol's six cylinder is superior in acceleration, low-down torque , and with similar thirst. - With a 2.5 tonne or so plant/trailer behind it...


Just my own experience...

I really like the reddish colour of the RRS in that piece. I think it's supposed to be Firenze Red, but doesn't quite look as good on the LRA website as it does in Autoblog's pictures.

That press release needed a lot more Youtube!

Because the Yanks still think that energy is free.
