Two-Five Sti-L Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I agree that this Cayenne looks PIMP! However, if I was going to spend $150k on a car I certainly won't spend it on a pimped out SUV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. pepper Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 It doesn't even look real, that's just how badass it is. http://www.thetorquereport.com/rinspeed_x_treme_porsche_cayenne_press_image2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if I was going to spend $150k on a car I certainly won't spend it on a pimped out SUV. yeah to tell you the truth i didn't even look at how much it was worth :lol:... so yeah now that you mention it... gawd damn i would never spend that on that car. SRT-8 if it was down to it. But it looks awesome i do love the rims and the body kit almost on the verge of riceiness but then just makes up for it. dr pepper i know exactly what you mean! 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The new trailblazer SS is far better than the SRT 8 for a couple reasons, 1 the ls2 has a huge aftermarket selection, it only makes 25hp less, dodge doesnt even sell a cam for the srt-8. The lsx motors respond so well to mods with just headers, exhaust and a tune i have seen SS trailblazers run low 13.2s-13.4s. Not to mention do you know how much it costs just to change the spark plugs on a srt-8 if you have a shop do it. You basically have to take apart the top of the engine bay, dealerships charge over 500 for a plug change. Although the SRT-8 jeep is baller, its not a good suv if you want any mods, if your gonna keep it stock go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neelnug Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The SRT-8 is junk. I drove one with 15k miles on it. It felt like a Taurus rental car at the end of its career. The suspension crashed like a ricer Civic with cut springs. Don't get me wrong, the performance is great but the package is not. It has been taken far past the design of the base platform. I've driven the trailblazer SS with a few miles and it felt much better. The suspension tuning doesn't wear the car out as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 The 6.1 has plenty of aftermarket, and Jeep SRT8 owners are in the 12s with few mods. Dodge may not sell a cam for it but the aftermarket has other choices. I've never been a Jeep fan though and that engine wouldn't be enough to make me want one. Stick it in a Charger or 300 and I'd talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
