Turbo SRT8 vs Modified M5..

[Dubai182]

Check out the beating the M5 gets!

Ahhhh can't wait for my Supercharger to come so I can dust M5's!

I haven't even watched it yet an I know its going to be fast!! N/A ones are mental enough!!

FAST!! Proper proper fast!! lol!

Pretty obvious if you strap a tubo on a 6.1 litre car it will smoke lots of things

 

[Dafthead]

SEX WEE

Sounds amazing inside

Your point is?

This is a 2 tonne rig thrashing an M5 with over 500BHP itself.

 

[Ian_182]

So if i strap a TO4 on the M5 then what.That was my point

And then one day you will be owned by one of these

lol

 

[JT182]

Given the choice between the two, i'd still have the M5 every single time. Car's like the SRT8 just do nothing for me personally, no doubt its quick but its got no finesse whatsoever. All in my opinion of course before I get shot down!

 

[Ian_182]

Totally agree with you,there not the best lookers,

But very fast indeed

 

[polarbert]

I'm stunned as to how fast that Jeep moves away. Yeh the Beemer got a crap start but the Jeep desomates it later on.

Quite strange considering they both have similar power.

Great vid!

You can't really compare them in terms of ownership though..

The M5 costs well over double the Jeep for starters. One's a saloon, the other is a mental SUV.

Yes the Jeep hasn't the best interior but it has all of the gadgets the M5 does. It's got a rear screen and DVD player, Sat Nav, heated seats, memory seats, adjustable foot pedals, triptronic gearbox, cruise control and the interior does have some nice touches like alcantara inserts.

I love how the Jeep looks personally, it just screams get out of the way!

The M5 is a true weapon but this vid shows just how much fun the Jeep really is.

 

[Darren S]

Good effort!

At least this one has a decent sounding turbo whistle and not a god-awful supercharger whine. Superchargers may make cars go like s**t-off-a-shovel, but they don't half sound crap!

D.

 

[MazzaR26]

The jeep looks mean as f**k, you have to see it in the flesh...
I just love the raw aggression of the jeep :evil:

 

[Rob.H]

They should run that Jeep against one of them Gemballa porsche cayene's....bet that would be a good race for the suv boys.

Id still take the M5.

 

[Christopher]

I actually LOL'd when it left the line... it's like something in a cartoon!

Fcuking love it!!

The SRT8 had over 500bhp ATW, not flywheel...

Surely the M5 doesn't weigh that much less than the Jeep? Impressive but as said above its a pretty obvious outcome strapping a turbo to such a beast!

 

[kpowell911]

but what an ugly attrocious car the SRT8 is.

Give me a 3.0 diesel X5 over that!

Why do the idiot yanks think power is everything, Why not concerntrate on building a car that will last more than 10 minutes! Their interiors are woeful!

On the contrary, I think the best thing about superchargers are the noise. I'm planning on charging the MX5 next year, and the costs are pretty similar for either route, but I'm leaning towards SC just for the brilliant whining.

Some superchargesr sound awsome i think

 

[Adamhodg]

lol i really didnt expect the jeep to pwn an m5

 

[M8XY G]

fook me, i love them tbh

 

[Brown.]

still rather have the m5....

This grates me.

Have you owned a Jeep SRT8? I think not.

Their interiors are better than quite a few European manufacturers.

I haven't had one single problem in over 7 months of ownership and nailing the crap out of it everywhere I go.

M5 weighs 450kg lighter.

I'll ask the owner of the Jeep how modified the M5 was but I think I know which one it is. It's running around 550-600BHP IIRC.

It's mightily impressive considering everything else is bone stock. Wait til it gets heads/cams and a stroker kit.

This thing already kills GT-R's and a 430 Scuderia will struggle to hang on to it in a 1/4 mile.

 

[Alan]

Awesome bit of kit...you gonna have yours around that power mate??

 

[Savi]

Havnt read none of the comments becuase i cant b bothered. Somebodys building a twin turbo M5 engined E30 track ****...Are you going to beat that?

If you ask me, N/A 500bhp M5 is more impressive than 500bhp and the fact that nearly half of its power is from the s/c too.

Sounds crazy though!!

Hmm not the smartest post i've read on here today..

Must be a personal thing. That at 1.51 in the clip just doesn't sound nice, imo.

I think I was put off for life with Jain's Bini Cooper S. Although it's a million miles away from that mad MTM Audi in the clip, the same bland noise is there.

D.

 

[gaz44]

It's not difficult to strap on power to achieve impressive performance, especially a 6 litre; SUV or not. So it's amazing in a straight line and may very well whip the Jay Haas of any given Ferrari or GT-R but that's all it got.

It's just a fast, ugly, heavy car. If you like it, fair enough.

 

[Poopensharten]

Well it certainly isnt going to win any beauty pagents but by f**k it goes well.

Kudos to you mate for breaking the mould, i cannot believe how quickly you bounce off the line, its not like the M5 is even close, another question, how good is the driver on the M5? And also what transmission is in it? (Im not saying this played any part because he well and trully got arse fucked anyways)

Forget what people say on here mate, you have a very very fast jeep, f**k what anyone thinks good or bad

Nobody said it was slow.

 

[B5 BDJ]

lol at it off the line!

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

I think what people are missing here is that Dubai182 doesn't actually have a charged Jeep. This is just a video he posted.

In his first post he mentions waiting for a supercharger kit.

 

[TooneySonic]

What a load of crap, the M5 wasn't trying/was asleep at launch, a 500bhp EVO or scooby wouldn't do that to it, let alone an SRT8. Fast car, but not that fast.

If the M5 is running a claimed 560bhp, that would give it around 500 atw too, just like the jeep, factor in the 400+kg weight advantage and the fact that its not shaped like a barn door and the M5 would be gone

LOL.

Okay, whatever you say. You can hear the M5 screaming ffs.

The Jeep is renowned for it's insane ability to launch that quickly. It has some very clever technology involved.

Just do a quick search on Youtube and you'll see every single time the Jeep nails the start.

The Jeep embarasses a lot of cars which have more power. It can beat the ML63, Porsche Cayenne Turbo in the 1/4 mile stock vs stock. This Turbo'd one would simply spit them out.

I think you'll find it's not that simple, F/I on the HEMI engine isn't that easy to extract a lot of useable power from. The TCM always intervenes and shuts down the power due to the box not being able to handle the torque being thrown at it.

It certainly isn't a case of strapping a turbo on and away you go. If you saw the amount of work that went into this Jeep you'd be amazed.

The whole point of these Jeep's is to have fun and whip a lot of cars off the line and even from rolls. It's fast, it's comfy, handles way better than it should and gives me more smiles per miles than any other car I've driven.

I was reffering to people saying its an ugly car etc etc

It fucked an M5 from a standstill, its anything but slow pal

if your only here to start a petty argument then f**k off mate

Unless you have anything relevently constructive to add to the thread then why the f**k would you bother posting?
