1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited
 

If anyone has had the experience in a reasonably quick Jeep, it should have been one of these. Stock it goes to 60 in 6.5 seconds, with all wheel drive too. Only ~1400 were built.

Here's a vid of a friend of mine's before he sold it. This vid is right after he put on a Flowmaster muffler, chip, and intake. This has a wicked exhaust note!

(Please use save as, my dsl doesn't stream well.)

dont see to many vids of the 5.9 jeep... they seem to hold their resale well. somewhere, i got (or had) a video of a 5.9 jeep tieing a comero z28 in the quarter... its been a while, but i think the jeep was ahead by less then a tenth.
thanks!

Cool vid, thanks...hehe.

yeah they are pretty quick I went up against one in my friends Durango R/T (basically the same truck) and it kept up. They are pretty quick for such a heavy truck.

Its spelled Camaro :D , thnx for the vid btw.

They do have a pretty cramped back seat, those Jeeps...especially when you are 6'2", and the Jeep is sliding around everywhere on a wet road...:lol:

sentra dood; keep in mind, although it is quick, it is still an suv. i have a 98 jeep zj, and it doesnt slide around on wet, unless rear-wheel alone is engaged, or its snow/ice. the car does have inherent udnersteer when 4 wheel is engaged. being 6'2", ive had no problems in my back seat when letting others drive.... are you taller perhaps, or just 3 other adults in the back? can you fit in a sentra? ive never sat in one, but i know i cant fit in a mitsu eclips... just the spider w/top down.
nemisis, ive said it on other strands, and ill say it again. im terrible at spelling. all i truly care about is that i convey the message; which i did.

my girlfriend used to have one. it was a pretty quick car and it drove nice too. made for a pretty good sleeper.

That's your Jeep. Trust me, this one DOES slide and nicely at that, if you know what you're doing that is. You cannot floor it otherwise it tries to make up and correct. Perfect throttle placement is the key... and so is a wet road :) .

That exhaust note was beautiful! AWESOME! Just one question: why in a Jeep?

Yes, that thing did sound amazing. I never knew they made these things! thats pretty awesome, but how would it hang with a Hemi Durango!?!

Fuck the Hemi it could keep up with the Durango R/T (same Engine 5.9)

the R/T made over 345hp!?! I didnt know that!

That new hemi really isn't that great. It's way to modernized for mommies and everyday driving. They could have built an engine just as powerful (or more powerful) and saved on the cost of adding the hemispherical heads and the selling gimmic "Hemi". It's all about the marketing. Hemi just doesn't mean the same thing it used to.

HAHA, yes this one definitely slides around; when it's wet, when the driver knows what he's doing, and when he's trying to get the tail out :twisted:. I guess 6'2" is probably an understatement...maybe more like 6'3" lol...but the floor seemed close to the bottom of the seats and I guess the front passenger must have had his seat pretty far back when I rode (multiple times).

Ahh, the great sentra, lol...well, in that car the front seat must be almost completely forward if I want to fit comfortably in the back seat. The older, boxier shapes... :roll:
