I have had similar success with the imports, even with my old Cherokee 4.0 I had a pretty good record! The stock Cherokees are pretty darn quick, They are only 3,000lbs and actually have 225 lb/ft of torque. I do agree that after about 65mph they run out of breath (although mine is very strong to about 90mph) I am pushing 275hp (est) at the engine and 365 lb/ft of torque in the Grand Cherokee 5.9 V-8! Fun Fun Fun!!! Not too many cars will take me out of the gate!

If you haven't driven big-torque trucks then you don't realize how well they can go from 0 to low speeds. I run around in a Z06 but I still get mini-shocks from some truck that moves out with similar authority (until somewhere north of 20 MPH). I don't spin tires at every light but I like to put traffic behind me, so it feels odd seeing a big lump keeping up for a couple of seconds.

THAT PRELUDE WAS PROBABLY NOT A SH AND not a stick
yes, my buddy's mom has a brand new 2003 jeep g.c. supercharged. it is fast, but not that fast
prelude sh stickshift can beat or at least keep up

it wasn't a SH...it was a stick. Why do you all doubt so much? You all (well, two of you anyway) sound like a bunch of crybabies. Get over it. The 4.0 inline 6 of a jeep has great low end torque. It's made for off road use. The prelude would kill it in 1/4 mile. I only went to 60 mph. If you don't believe me, email me and we can set up a race between your friend's prelude and my cherokee. Winner gets a beer. But it has to be a short race. Maybe...75 yds or so.
