Default Drag Race 2011 vs 2012

Here's a decent review of the 2012 with a drag race vs the 2011 near the end.

Nice!! More and more reason why I could benefit from the 2012. Not that drag racing means anything to me, but the extra usable hp would be great!

anyone else think all these little Easter Egg's are a little retarded? and is a Jeep's interior really supposed to be at all "refined"?? I say no..

Again, another faulty 2011 vs 2012 comparison incorrectly attributed to the new engine. This was really a test of different rear end gear ratios, and the new 5 speed automatic transmission. Its pretty obvious now, that no one wants to make the only bona fide test, which is a 2011 manual versus a 2012 manual, with the same rear end ratios. Also, notice they quoted a 0-60 time of 8.4 seconds. And the drag race? I'd say, using the pace method, the 2012 was pulling away at about 5 mph faster. Not exactly breathtaking.
