Liberty 3.7
 
Well I was impressed by the acceleration by these SUV's...but that's about it though.

We both took off from the lights on "less than ideal" street conditions. Even with my non-all-season summer tires I was still able to out accelerate, albeit slowly, this Jeep Liberty. I decided to end the race once I was sure he had no chance (80mph) and decided to return to the normal speed limit of 50mph.

I like the race because the road surface allowed the tires to slip just enough to get the RPM's up to a range more suitable for acceleration.

Yeah, jeeps are pretty badass. Here's a free tip: Don't race a cherokee. Trust me. :\

a woman at work bought a Jeep Liberty when they first came out. the hatch squeaked so bad that it was almost undriveable. the dealer said there was nothing they could do - that's the way they were built! scary.
the V8 Cherokees are slick, but i'd be too paranoid about interior rattles to buy one. :eek:

Rattles or not, the Cherokees are FAST. 4wd, lots of torque, and perfect gearing to get up to 60-70.
