RE: What would be faster

You got me wondering now. Is the Grand Cherokee set up to favor torque over horsepower?
The Cherokee would kick a$$ in a pulling contest.

The 3.8. Had the same motor in my firebird and out ran a dakota with the 5.2 and the Cherokee is heavier

I have raced a dokota with the 5.2 and beat him by 2-3 cars

RE: What would be faster

The Jeep transmission should be lower for torque so it will beat you off the line, but you should be catching up around the 1/8th or so. His 70-100 MPH will be much slower than yours and you should pull away.
