I still don't understand why some people say their Jeep is a dog and slows way down on hills. Mine never has a problem when I hit a hill on the highway and I never have to downshift unless it's a hill that has a sharp enough curve to warrant such a thing.
Maybe it's just the autos'
As for the Jeep vs. Blazer thing, well,.........I never was a big fan of the Blazer, even the K5. Glad YOU won, or you would probably never hear the end of it if your wife is anything like mine.

My very first vehicle, a '61 VW Panel Truck was slow.
I find the 2-door 6-speed Rubicon reasonably fast on 35s.
If you need speed, wind out 3rd and then 4th, you'll be going fast enough.

I was driving next to a humm$hit (H2) and he was aging me on... So we had a 0 - 55 deal from a red light. (speed limit was 55). I beat him by a car length when I hit the speed limit. I have 35" tires with 4:10 gears. When we got to the next light, he gave me the bird. What a guy!

I am a major power junkie.....trying to justify to do a hemi convert...sooo much $$ though...and I could complain about the power of our jeeps, but like it was said, if your drive it up in the rpms, you can go plenty fast enough...My 6spd motors along up and down the mountain passes here no problem.....Still want more power though
