Same. But that's the FCA way of doing things, shove as much HP into a car as possible for bragging rights and to appeal to enthusiasts, practicality be damned. The ZR2 gets crapped on for being just a midsize truck with only a V6 but it's a good size and has good power for actual off road applications.

I'm assuming I'll be working a ton of crashes involving TRXs with owners who had no idea how to control all that power.
