Unlike some special edition vehicles that look quick, the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 back up its image with solid numbers. This Jeep will do 0-60 in less than five seconds. It'll reach 100 mph and go back to a full stop in less than 19 seconds. That's right - a Jeep from the factory that offers supercar performance. Sweet. Those kinds of numbers are thanks to that 6.1-liter Hemi planted under the hood, with 415 horses running at 6,200 rpm and 410 lb.-ft. of twist doing its magic at 6,400 rpm. Managing that power is a five-speed automatic transmission with the manually interactive Autostick feature. Premium fuel is required. Luckily, it offers impressive braking capability, too. Slowing from 60 mph to 0 mph takes only 125 feet thanks to anti-lock brakes, large discs (360-mm front, 350-mm rear), and Brembo calipers.
