Thread: 2012 Jeep SRT8 or another Range Rover

Agreed with almost everyone else. SRT8.

I've owned both SRT8 (current model) and a RR. The SRT8 is understated in not attempting to be "too flashy" but also turns heads when you get into the pedal a bit.

Also, everyone and their mother drives RR's... I do think the 2012 SRT8 has lost a bit of it's aggressiveness, but still looks amazing.

Is that a joke? Not even in the same league? Last I checked, the SRT has 470hp and the RRS is coming at you with 510. The RR is brutally fast, almost too fast for it's own good. The SRT is a JEEP made in plastic that looks like they left the outside design to the last minute with barely flared wheel arches and a outrageous front bumper that matches absolutely nothing on the rest of the car. The RR is pure sex, classy as hell and will blow your doors off fast. There's no comparison. And if that isnt enough of a reason, I personally couldn't justify 63k price tag on a jeep. RR all the way, especially the black edition, you won't regret it.

Well to be fair guys, I am not comparing the RR SC...Or the Turbo Cayenne. I just want another daily driver to use around town and for business. The problem with the SRT8's is that there are 0 programs on that truck. It's price is 65k and it leases out like a 80k car. Horrible.

The only reason I say SRT8 is that I love the sound of it just makes me tingle. But if you are really having second thoughts it is what you want not what I want to see on the streets so go with your gut feeling and what is more reasonable for the reasons you want it.

Not trying to start a war and I prefer the RR but the srt8 0-60 is 4.6sec and the RR supercharged is 5.6sec


***also wanted to add I see no point in an suv's lap time, 0-60 time unless above 7 seconds, 1/4 mile time or any of that other mumbo jumbo. It's an suv...just let it be an suv

sorry my .02 this includes you mr. x5m and x6m

get a used ml63. Best of both worlds

no of course not I'm not trying to fight either believe me. I just really don't like the new SRT8 its overrated.

Jay Slay, if you're looking for a more business driven vehicle, I'd say even more the RRS, Its classy, formal and comfy. Super sexy truck. Do you have a link or pics to the black edition, is it an Autobiography?

Here is the link. This is not the dealer I went to, but the same truck.
