Default Any 2012 JK Haters want to dragrace their 3.8's vs a 3.6?

How about we end the bickering and do a real world side by side race?

Ive got a 2012 JK Auto that would love to line up side by side to a 2011 or older JK with a 3.8L and see what happens.

Lets see if there is any truth to all this hype.

Anyone in Western Washington between Seattle and Vancouver interested?

Ive got A Mountable GoPro camera to capture the event..


Heck, I'd even like to see it line up next to a Supercharged 3.8L.. anyone have one of those??

Not a hater but why are we dragracing wranglers? Last time I checked I bought a jeep to go off road. I'm thinking the real test is to see which is more capable off road... which I feel would be close considering they are both jeeps... whether its a 2012 or an old CJ its a jeep so why the hate?

For a community who is supposed to get a long and help each other you guys sure spend a lot of time hating everyone's stuff.

Why not sell the jk and go get a honda civic with a spoiler and big muffler then you can find lots of other kids to race. Seriously jeeps were made to be off road vehicles not race cars...

Lol!!!! What a loser. "wanna drag race?". Who asks a Jeep to do that. I could give a nut that the 3.6 is quicker (noticed I used the word quicker.... Cause its a Jeep). Get a hobby, or a nice SI an go race the the 4cyl losers.
Btw test drove a 12 an it was quicker, nothing I would trade my 08 in for. So enjoy the new engine an dont tarnish the wrangler name by road racing the brick.

Haven't heard of any 2012 haters... pretty stupid to race a Jeep. I've got a 2011 and love it. Love the '12s, too. Use the Jeep what it was intended for... and use the forum for what it was it was intended for... to share great ideas and pics.

Damn I bought the wrong vehicle! I thought we were offroading on this site not drag racing!

Dude it's a freaking JEEP not a Ferrari!

Mud pit race would be better. Might as well do it properly if you want to find out which is fastest... Anyone ready to step up with a 2012? I can imagine the resale would be horrible after this challenge.
