[QUOTE="InDaShop, post: 238315, member: 1295"] I can hardly say it with a straight face and not laughing, that cherokee handles better than 90% of the field, and is typically in the top 2-3 in overall speed. That Jeep is faster than everything we've raced in Lemons so far except for one of the BMW e30's this last race, and a Ford Fairmont the race before. There are some extremely good drivers in Lemons, but there are also a lot of shitty ones. But the suspension recipe, our brake combo, and the torque of the 4.0l makes the jeep a serious track threat. There is no better feeling than a late apex on the inside to drive out of a turn pulling a pass on a Porsche 911. And damn it, for not having cameras on the car in our last night race, the 6 car pass I pulled in the dark going wideopen, to the outside on a blind uphill right sweeper was nothing short of epic. You can drive that jeep harder into the turn than most of the field, and you have the torque to pull out of the turn better than all of the field we've encountered so far. Our achillies heal is the fuel tank. 20.2 gal, that we can only use 11-12 gal of before it starts cutting out on hard left turns. When it cuts out it unsettles the car, you get loose, you risk being ass-ended. Just all around bad. So while the field is going 2.5-3hrs between pit stops we are stopping every 1.5 hours. And Lemons rules is no one can be in the car while fueling. So its a full un-buckle, exit, fuel, get back in, get belts on, and go. a Solid 8-10 minute ordeal. We typically go down 3-4 laps on a fuel stop. TERRIBLE. This next race we are running a surge tank so hopefully that helps..... [/QUOTE]
