I agree....the only thing I can think of is of the JK is like 600-1000lbs lighter than the GC should it be even capable of doing that......I wonder how hard the GC accelerated....cause in the first clip the tach on the GC didn't really seem to be dancing enough to be full throttle....It should not be able to beat a SRT8 GC from a dig...they are crazy off the line......

Yes, indeed I was lunching it in 4wd mode, I tried before with 2wd, no traction in full 1st gear..
the was traction-off with my left foot holding the break and raising the RPM to 2500...
I have Re-gearing to 4.88, Superior Axle
I was surprised too. Even though he could not catch-up after
, you can see the GC hitting the Redline and changing to 3rd gear in vid.I had softop on, which is much lighter...so it is about ~900lbs.
Any 1/4 calculation will result in ~ .7 different in ET time...Thats why I was sure
Oh man, does the stock tires make difference from 20" 33...big difference..
I will try to post DashHock 0-100km time (http://www.dashhawk.com)
Any way, it is more for off-road and hitting the sand-dunes, not for drag-race...but was worth trying

, I absolutely love it....and i am saving to do the swap.....but i really would like the 6 spd....I saw you dune clip a long time ago...totally awesome...sound is perfect....FYI the hard top is actually super light, so you might be only saving a 100lbs there...Like you said it is not a drag racer, but for the dunes....and i am sure that the 4wd launch up to 130+ is not too healthy.....you have to post some more clips in the dunes.......

I'm guessing the stock tires combined with the 4.88 gears helps the cause with acceleration. What gearing does the SRT8 have, 3.73? Even still, the SRT8 is set-up better for the street and speed than the JK, so it's still impressive.
