why drive ‘Trail-Rated’ if you’ll never drive on trails?
January 17th, 2006The modifications by Chrysler’s tuner, Sports and Racing Technology (SRT), have transformed the Grand Cherokee [SRT8] into the kind of machine it should have been all along. The suspension can’t match the adaptability of the air systems used by rivals and there’s a lot of dive under braking and too much rebound over bumps, but it’s a vast improvement over the standard car.

UPDATE: from Inside Line:
You can tell where they spent the money. As Executive Editor Richard Homan stated: “One lean into the brake pedal or a turn of the steering wheel makes it clear that this is a performance-engineered project, not a ‘guess it needs more power’ also-ran vanity vehicle. SRT placed the needs of the enthusiast first — engine, drivetrain, suspension, brakes, steering and seats. The best carmaker in the U.S. right now is team SRT.”
