Not to burst anyone's bubble but this was posted before and heard it was a bust. It would be awesome though. Who knows!!??!! I guess if there is a demand, they will build it. Maybe they are waiting to see who the new President will be. Lol. Keep your options open. Maybe they could be built in the U.S. Novel concept. Okay...I'm done now. This is what happens when you link me in a post.
I still think that Hellcat drivetrain puts down toouch power for the existing AWD of the Grand Cherokee...the system is design for low speed/high torque at best (low gears, off-roading), not the high speed/high torque of the nature of Euro cars. I suspect, if applied, something will break and let the magic fluid out all over the asphalt. And that's AFTER they're finished beefing up the driveshafts and axles. Then? As stated earlier by another: the suspension will need to be looked at...
I don't think any of this results in a '16/'17 prospect model year.
This has been brought up a few times as well. The AWD is capable of handling the power. There re several SRT Jeeps out there already over 700hp, a few at about 1000hp. Did they have to beef up some parts? Yes, is it hard? No. But they have to do a perfect balance of durability and price. Once they come up with a fix that is both reliable/durable and price happy, it will be good to roll
Since you keep missing the point - You put yourself in the same category for info as RS. I called bs.
Get it now? That's it. That's all. It's over.
Either you seem to like yourself a lot or you have this little man syndrome where you need to be e-high fived in a forum. Not sure which, I suspect both. Then you bring up Jeepgarage and noting if I don't follow you words words words.
Clearly, you're missing my point still. I believe you to be someone trying to sound like he's the man. Piggyback on other posts, repost in different words and claim victory as an insider when no, you're not an insider.
Do I think you are a RS or Milous? Nope.
If I am wrong, I have no issue saying I was wrong. Feel free to link me to your insider posts that had not been posted anywhere before. If possibly can we leave out the winky face ones? Grown ass men giving winky faces is just odd to me, but that's me.
If SRT adjusted the date, that's great! Read what I said earlier, I said perhaps they were moving forward because they fixed an issue but earlier, TRUSTED people, (read: not you) posted it would be 18/19 at the earliest. Resume Speed, a more than trusted source said this. That's all I was saying, not sure why you got all uptight.
Thanks everyone for sharing feedback and ideas. Just like everything else, things change at a moments notice. My budget changes each year and my 5 year plan goes out the window. It's not any different for a company of this size. It's great to share what you have heard and know, but please don't start personally attacking each other. We are here to learn about our cars and share. Really in the scheme of things, what does it matter when they come out. If you want one, you will get it when they build it. Thanks
Thanks a lot Tammie. It is a slow day on the forum and here you go playing peacemaker. I am bored and looking for some action and a couple of laughs and you do this? Ok guys, Tammie gave the cease fire order. I guess we have no choice but to follow her directive. Good debate, officially a draw, neutral corners....thanks for sharing you thoughts.
I could screen cap the PM's buddy sent me, attacking me further but I added him to ignore list and left the convo. No time for the attitude and insults. No idea why his posts are all now gone, not sure if he deleted them or if a mod (or yourself, Tammie) nuked them but thank you.
Okay I sent Sergio Marchione the following email (don't ask for his address I wont give it to you) and you can see hos response
Hey Serge, how is the family paesan, trust they' re all good and hope your are too, by the way your cousin Sam says hello, now to business what's happening with my Hellcat, I ordered the sunroof and lots of delays and there is a rumour of a Hellcat Jeep, let m know if you can, I'll let you get back to running that Billion $$ company, say hello to everyone, Ciao Bella.
This was his response
Hi **** , everyone is good I'm really busy the board is very happy and we're in great shape, we had some minor sunroof supplier questions but that has been straightened out now, you should have your car soon, as for a Hellcat Jeep, nothing is on the table and nothing is off the table, sometimes rumours start and we get interesting information by viewing the discussions, hope that answers your question.
Give Sam a hug for me and tell him to call me, I'm going to be in ******* in August may be we can have dinner at Charlie's place
I am usually good for some sort of double entendre in such situations as this discussion; but the blackness here saddens me. I'll admit that being an antisocial misanthrope, my observations are often naive; but I am pretty sure that people who are boastful and name-callers are never, ever "winners." Winners elevate each other; and don't put others down. (OK, winners sometimes make fun of other people's knobs, but that's allowed here: knob-abuse gets a free pass at Hellcat.org).
This has nothing to do about the above discussion, and those of us that go way back on this forum and have seen threads go a little sideways...BUT....I want to add: HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all...
and especially to those single parents out there Putting aside any bruised ego's, its all about family, and we are part of this dysfunctional family
I do not know what the f$@k people are fighting here for when I am doing the 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and with my black key. Rookies ......
Give me that Trackhawk and I'll be under the 2 seconds.
I don't know what is going on either: couple guys trying to convince each other that he has the biggest knob; not realizing no one else cares everyone else is just laughing at them and how small their knobs must be!
Under 2 seconds: Woohooo - Sounds like warp speed is next!
I believed they would build it as soon as they introduced the Hellcat. It is simply too delicious to pass up just because their are engineering difficulties. My prediction: 11.50s @ 120. MSRP: $85K
Yeah, I think that's what keeps happening to my iPhone when I tape it to the bumper and hit 0-60 in under 3 seconds. Okay, that's not true...I'm still in the 4s and I threw the black key in a drawer. I stink at it. I do appear to entertain the State Patrol when I practice on on-Ramps though so, at least I got that going for me.
