lol @ violent

You have to figure it's a custom job, and likely something that if developed for the Jeep will make its way into other Hellcat branded models (to help offset those development costs). Looking like they're gettin' serious about performance over there.

If the Charger Hellokitty can only muster 3.4 sec to 60, you really think the Jeep is going to shave a half second off this?

Charger 392 0-60: 4.1
Jeep 392 0-60: 4.6

Charger Hellokitty 0-60: 3.4
Jeep Hellokitty 0-60: 2.X?

You do understand the drag limits on an SUV make it EXTREMEMLY unlikely to reach 200mph. But yes, 700hp, 6,000lb SUV

I guess the idea is that the awd + 700 hp will get it there? still a lot of weight to lug around.

I thought the same thing when I heard the initial leak. I figured around 4 sec 0-60. But there is some validity in considering the AWD is going to help with the start. Whether it actually shaves a second off, that's another story.

With AWD? I wouldn't rule it out. AWD works miracles on launches. They'll easily be cutting 1.6 60' on street tires.
