Exclamation SRT-rubicon

It would be nice if the guys who did the SRT Grand Cherokee did a special edition Wrangler, like a pumped up Rubicon

I know SRT stands for Street Racing Technolgy (I think) but who would of thought the GC SRT would ever exist, this is one bad Jeep! (for the street)

If we can't get a (normal production) more powerful JK for a while then SRT could help with a limited production (off-road) model

a realistic dream SRT RUBICON could be:

-More torque and hp. (supercharged V6, small V8 or the 5.7 Hemi)
"we need closer to 300 hp & torque for a 4000+lb Jeep"
-HD 6 speed manual or HD 5 speed Auto
-HD axle shafts and joints in D-44's
-HD drive shafts with true double cardin Joints
-lower gear ratios
-Mild lift
-35" tires
-Factory bead lock rims
-complete roll bar "front cage"
-Real bumpers
-better skids
-Winch
-on board air supply

if some of above are set as options a great price point would be about $33,000

we need to do a letter writing campain to get DCX to do something as the current 3.8 is not cutting it for alot of us


this forum looks like SRT managers use it and may listen

I don't think they would combine SRT and RUBICON since both are their trademark for top of the line in what they do and are marketed differently...

SRT does racing and RUBICON climbing...

point taken, but the idea could still be viable in some form if the demand is there

DC and other MFG's do listen to cunsumers and the dealers
(tell the dealership what you want, if you tell the right person it will get to the top brass)

concept vehicles like the huricane are built in part to judge cunsumer reaction to extreme ideas
