Amazing how he couldn’t dish out less than $100 for a new pair of headlights. The current fogged up ones ruin the whole Jeep.
These 5.9 ZJ's are TANKS the 46RE, 44a Rear end, bullet proof Magnum engine. I miss mine for sure.
Back then we called it a 360 even if it said 5.9L on the badge
The aerodynamic sports car is quicker than the slab sided, high up 4X4. SHOCKING
I thought Brendan was gonna hold on to that one… Another one bites the dust.
That suxks I was hoping the 5.9 would stay on the channel a bit longer, ZJs don't get a ton of mainstream automotive love.
Pretty sure the ML55 AMG was faster and came out at the same time.
Race the jeep against an xc90 v8. That will change your mind about no replacement for displacement.
With an old 136hp diesel BMW 320d you can do 17sec on the 400m, what is wrong with the Porsche?
Moral of the story Turbo or Supercharge EVERYTHING.
I hate to say it. Being a long time Chrysler and now Stellantis hater. The drag race and braking test were impressive.
Who cares what happens above 100km/h?
hashtag porsche sucking arse since the 80s
staged… 911 allmost stalled at start
My buddy had the dodge Durango with the 5.9
Kind of wish I had the spare coin to get this. Think it would be cool to get a 20 year old car that still in decent shape, put some TLC into it and make it a fun driving car.
You need to pay Casy more so he can buy a second pair of pants.
“We need to sell this Jeep on our auction site so let’s show it beating a Porsche in drag race to drive up the bids”
The good old 360
The new charokee is faster than a 2013 911 FYI it has over 800hp lol
Youve gota measure the braking to the ffront off the car(the part thats still kills the kid even tho the wheels didnt) …. dont make any sense to me…
245 hp from a v8? My car's got that in a 4 banger
The real question is why do you guys keep running these tests at a mile above sea level.
that air cooled 911 is worth a fuck ton of money though unlike the jeep
At 8:08 – babies don't stand, they just lie there and the Jeep would have plenty of ground clearance to roll over it.
I remember these in high school my boy had one and we smoked a mustang gt of
That year and a Camaro ss brand new cars and couldn’t beat the truck lol never forget the feeling of that truck that’s why Iam all mopar for life and mind u that was in 2003/04 last years of high school
meh, the very next year, the regular ol Expedition had more horsepower and torque and didn't try to tout itself as anything more than a regular expedition
Tbh, this doesn’t really show that the 5.9 G Cherokee is that fast, it mostly just shows how completely anemic most old Porsches are. And overpriced. And overrated.
I love that they mentioned that engine is from the Ram trucks as I drive a 94Ram 2500 with the 5.9 360 V8 and even in my truck it makes power all over the place.
I'm pretty sure that Cherokee came with 3.90:1 gears
That cherokee had the same drive train as the dodge Dakota R/T 5.9 and the Durango R/T 5.9
It is not a Porsche killer. It is a Jeep, an offroad vehicle. You won't go from point a to point b in a straight line in a race.
Most of those Jeeps were detuned by the dealers so the owners could run 87 octane gas..
Weight… Ffs.. overrated.. GEARING.. ✅
You're channel sucks. Who cares about any Cherokee?
Like to a Dakota rt in the. Mix y’all
I had one of the OGs, a 1973 Cherokee with the 360 4bbl 4wd with 33s
ZJ brakes lol.
ZJ can haul a ton of crap to the dump or pick up materials to build something significant. Offroads like a TJ too. 911 will get you laid though.
This is actually the 2nd generation grand Cherokee you forgot to wagon your model
Tommy i love this content, but let me tell you, you need to train that launch You let the engine bog on start due to low rpm.
I love the first generation Grand Cherokee. Had 2 identical 1997 Grand Cherokee TSi 4.0 6 years apart. Then had a 2003 Grand Cherokee Laredo til 2019. Great, reliable transportation, fun to drive and easy to work on.
I had a 2000 GC with the 4.7 and that was a beast. Quick and the second extra gear was a nice touch. Unfortunately it spent more days at the dealer than driven. My wife’s 2013 GC hemi has been problem free and awesome. The tranny is slow with the hemi compared to the 8 speed after. Still a great Jeep.
That 5.9 with the right tune was a mega sleeper.
