PTR Jeep Cherokee

[CherBear]

If any of you have ever searched "Jeep Cherokee vs" into youtube, you probably have seen the PTR Jeep Cherokee on the drag strip. Its fast as hell but their website is written in spanish... So i have no idea what the specs are on that rig.

Anybody know more about this XJ?

Here is a vid:

I'm a member of that forum, give me a day and I can find out what it's running. I've seen it personally and it looks like a stock xj with a simple lift, sleeper.

So pretty much hes just running a bottle to get those quarter mile times. Where is the fun in that?

bottles are for babies.

Agreed. I could qoute the ole "theres no replacement...." but thats a little overused here.

Did you think of that all by yourself? Go tell that to some six second pro mod drivers.

For daily drivers, I agree bottles are for babies. You cant even legally use it on the street and its only a temporary "boost".
For track toys, they have a pretty legitimate use. They can give you a quick boost of speed down the track that otherwise would be imposable.

No, I didn't think that up myself. If you can't have the power there 100% of the time then it is worthless. I don't care if it is racing or not.

And I care about what you think about my opinion? No

Oh snap he did not just go there! I dont think he cares about you not caring what he cares or doesnt care about, or which carebear was his favorite.

Thoughts on orginal topic:
For professional/ semiprofessional amateur racecar drivers, nitrous is good. You only drive the car for 5-10 seconds, why not? For street I think its lame. Build it all the way and say that your car is x fast all them time, not just under certain conditions.
