So the power was a given, but the road holding, and ride quality, was not at all what I expected. Jeep says the SRT8 hits 60 miles per hour in less than five seconds, and that makes the SRT8 quicker than a Porsche Cayenne Turbo or a BMW X5. Of course I expected the 420-horsepower Hemi V-8 to be a giggle, but I was totally surprised by its ability to unload its power in such a sophisticated way. What I discovered is that the Grand Cherokee SRT8 is not a four-wheeled caricature, but a delightfully impressive road car of the first magnitude. Driving the Grand Cherokee SRT8 for 800 miles in three days, however, really opened my eyes. I thought a hot rod Jeep Grand Cherokee would be a bit like the Dodge Ram SRT10 – power overkill just for the heck of it.
