Cruising along I-10 and a Prius comes whizzing (literally) up beside me. Now I know jeeps aren't fast; they aren't designed to be. But I tried to race him and I lost! He didn't even know we were racing!
I'm going to look in to speed mods now. If it were an airplane I'd be smoothing out those rivets...
So, what's the best bang for the buck for horsepower? It's an 08 2dr on 35" w/ 4". I need a regear I know but anything else? Anybody turbo'd these things?

HA HA... That sucks. I own both a Jeep and Prius. They both are great cars. They Prius does have some pick up and we use it for loooonnggg family drives. I got the Jeep primarily for me.. but lately its become the primary family car,
LOL... Love the gas mileage on the Prius but hate the "Prick" vibe it gives.. 
haha... That's why i got the Jeep. I know how you feel about the highway ability of the jeep, but i just got my jeep out this pass week on the trails (for the first time) and the family loved it!!!! NO way I could of done that with the Prius.

A UPS truck took me off the line last week right up to about 50mph. I couldn't catch him. It was late in the day and maybe his truck was empty, lol!
Yesterday I was passed by a prius with a huge magnetic sign on the side that said "This car gets 50mpg.". I thought to myself, where I like to go that car gets zero mpg!

I would have to agree the pentastar is so much better (had fun with a Audi off the line and I hung with him up to about 60 and then he pulled away), as far as the Prius I would think since it was running off the battery it's turning an electric motor and that's straight torque, just think in 10-15 years a battery pack replacement is in his future for who knows how much money. Also the gas mileage on the new pentastar is pretty impressive I have been averaging 17-19 mixed highway and city driving.
