You think a Z06 is fast acceleration? Strap on an F-111 like a member of this forum used to drive and kick in the afterburner...now THAT's acceleration...

I'm amazed that my foot isn't required to go all the way to the floor on the accelerator after every shift...I think my old SE has a big dent in the floor board from me trying to get every bit outta that pedal!

Anyone that says the JK accelerates fast from a stop,or any speed needs thier head examined..They also need to get thier butt in a car with over 400 hp and then you will understand what accelerating fast is..
I like my JK,and I didn't buy it to be as fast as my ZO6. I bought it to tool around and have fun in.It does that job just fine..It is nowhere in the same galaxy as fast and never will be..

Well, coming from a 2000 SE 4-cyl, the JK DOES have pickup

The JK would smoke the tires off when it was stock.
It very quick now with 35's and 5.13's. I have no problems passing anyone on the highway. It runs 75-80 wihout a problem, and still has balls left.
If I really need to get on it, I downshift into 4th, and it'll go without hesitation...

I road race instead of drag race.. 40 mpg on a goldwing is impressive!

Accel is good....but the passing, i'll second that
I can't wait till K&N makes a standard fit in filter. I did this to my Commander, and the accel has at least improved by 20%. I'm not really looking for a full intake air system because of my past 4x4 history of getting water in the engine from past trips (NO MATTER WHAT COVER THEY STATE IT HAS.) So that might help a little bit....
ON the flip note, I do have 3.21
, but would like to see any opions on improving acceleration with gears like that and stock 17s. I hate downshifting up here in the rockies constantly, but it does comes with the territory....
