Default cherokee STR8 and 599GTB from a roll.

i walked the 599!!!!! just kidding. that thing accelerated so fast it scared me. but once we hit traffic he got **** blocked and people only moved over for moi, leaving him far behind- the advent of being in a spaceship everyone wants to look at instead of "just another ferrari"

the jeep cherokee- walked him from 90 on. may have been a gearing issue. not sure. but overall pretty even though i kept pulling away slightly.

Default more than that.

this could be the very first car i mod- exhaust and maybe ECU programming- no reason why those silly italians should have all the fun.

i am not looking for a car that will be faster than a 599- though i hear audi has something up its sleeve for the R8 after the V10.

Cherokee is a barn door, but not surprised it has the grunt in double digit speeds.

Nice, which obviously puts you in line for the next R8; after the new R8

Default If the STR8 walked, the 599GTB was not racing.

Maybe they saw a corner ahead and did not want you to kill yourself.<ul><li><a href="http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=122969">Bringing it back to the R8: R8 vs. SRT8</a></li></ul>
