A 92 Camaro would handle pretty much (or worse) than a newer Jeep.
My Jeep's speedo goes up to 120, and I'm sure the Hemi in it will go much faster.
Fastest I've had the Jeepster is up to 100, and she was tracking just fine with no wobbles or anything.
It's the emergency manuevers I'm worried about....

 

She holds up just fine for me in emergency maneuvers as well. I push it to the limit, but I do it in safe environments (safe for others) so I am capable in emergencies. I've been cut off, tailgated, a semi nearly rear-ended me the other day, and I lived in DC for six weeks with that traffic (and those people). I run her hard because I know how hard I can run her. Again, I'm not bragging or trying to sound cool. I'm just comfortable driving that way.

 

Understood.
Just keep in mind that she's not a sports car and can't be counted on not to roll.
A 92 Camaro doesn't roll easily. (Nor does a Charger)
A Jeep does.
I'm sure you're fully aware of this.

 

i usually do 40 or 45 in any speed zone, as for the highway i cant go much faster then 75, but usually only go 65...

 

I was very timid at first, but I'm to the point where I can drive it like I drove the Z28 (It's a scary thought, I know lol). I still have my sway bars, and my rear is sagging almost 4" so I don't have much body roll. In hard corners or chicanes, I lose rear traction before I roll. When I get my lift installed, I'm sure my driving habits will quickly and dramatically change.

 

This is the kind of thing I was used to. Not quite this fast, but very similar....
God I miss it!

On the Interstate like I-80 I think it could be safe ,but 100+ would have you weaving in and out of traffic dodging the slower traffic that is not doing 100 ,and they would not be expecting a 100 mph Jeep even in the passing lane ...the passing lane is just that here a passing lane so if a car was doing 60 mph in the thru lane and I pulled out at 65 mph to pass and speed limit was 70 I'd still be correctly using the lane saitsfying the use as a passing lane...now here you come at 80-100 and it would be you that's incorrectly using the lane to speed in not pass ...even if I was doing the full 70mph speed limit I would be in your way at 80-100 ,but only b/c you were speeding in the passing lane ...My Jeep don't go fast enough to bother with speeding anyway...my company truck is governed at 66mph ,and I gave up speeding when I got a CDL 7 years ago , But before that ,well I have no place pointing a finger for speeding ...But I was always sober behind the wheel of every vehicle I've ever driven ...hmmm maybe that makes it worse...lol

 

1ton, I said before I know I *shouldn't* but I do. I understand how the laws work. My dad's a cop, and not the kind that would cover for me if I got in trouble. To add to my list from earlier, though, I also don't drive if I've been drinking.

EDIT: motorcity, I can't see it. It's filtered as Social Networking on these computers.

 

There's a Jeep that WOULD be in that passing lane, doing over 130.
It has SRT8 badges and handles like a sports car. Unless its going through 10" of snow. Then it handles like a Jeep.
Ah yes, 470 hp (6.4l) in a Grand Cherokee. What a wonderful concept!!!!

 

Everything's great except it's a GC
Nah, I saw a video of it on Top Gear. That thing smoked off the line, too.

Unless its going through 10" of snow. Then it handles like a Jeep.
That got me a weird look when I laughed out loud.

 

I typically go into the triple digits on the highway myself... but then I'm in Canada, so that ain't sayin much.
I usually go about 20-30 (km/hr) over the posted speed limits but that depends on a number of different factors...

• What vehicle I'm driving
• How familiar I am with said vehicle
• What the road conditions are
• The behavior of traffic at the time
• What the weather is like
• If I'm carrying passengers (and whether or not I like them )
• What my mindset is like
• How awake I am

The list goes on. Point is, I may drive fast but I am a very conscientious and experienced driver and a very responsible driver. I have experienced a blowout at varying speeds and I know what to expect in such a case. I have never lost control of my vehicle in a blowout situation because I know what to do in the event of a blowout. I have been driving for over 25 years and I've taken formal training in a number of specialized driving techniques.
The thing that really does irk me is young (and obviously) inexperienced drivers that do exceed the speed limit (often in very inappropriate situations). They are a danger...people that drive too slow are a danger...people that drive when their condition is unfit for driving (they've been drinking, they just woke up and haven't given themselves time to be alert enough to drive, or they've been in an argument with a spouse and their self control is greatly lowered)...and people that just plain don't have the experience to be out driving.
Look at it this way...you're driving a potentially lethal weapon...treat it with respect!
As for NewKindofClown's reasoning...I fully understand it as I myself spent some time driving the Autobahn. The habit of driving super freakin fast is a hard habit to break as you're driving as such all the freakin time! It is also true that there are less accidents on the Autobahn than in America. That's because it is just so ingrained in drivers that you have to be more conscientious and aware of other drivers...ie. if you see headlights blinking in your rearview...get the hell out of the way!

NewKindofClown...you need to keep it in your mind that you're not driving in Germany (or wherever you drove the Autobahn)...people don't drive like that over here and aren't accustomed to driving like that. You have to take that into consideration. That is part of driving excessive speeds on the Autobahn...taking other drivers into account.

 

I know. I may have just turned 21, but I try to understand everything around me. When considering speed limits, I recognized that the roads are better maintained, the drivers are more disciplined, the lanes are wider, the roads have gentler curves, the exits are banked, and the list goes on. I fully understand that the country, the culture, and the laws are different. It's just tough to change.
Being in the military, everyone says, "Well I lived there for two years, too, and I got used to it again in a month. You're just making excuses, and you need to grow up and take responsibility for your actions." The issue is, I went home on leave, got my license a week after I drove a car for the first time, and after another week, I went back to Germany. I spent another year there, during which time I learned to drive. So it isn't a matter of reverting to my old habits. I need to fully relearn, and that isn't something I can do overnight.

 

I typically only go 5-10mph over the limit. I have never gotten my Jeep into the triple digits and never plan to do so, that's just stupid. If you're in that much of a hurry, then leave earlier.

 

You either didn't read the thread, or you don't understand. Either way, I'm not gonna argue.

 

Let me state more like this...no one is expecting a vehicle of any kind not running code...lights/siren...to be in the passing lane and doing 100mph since that is usually atleast 25mph or better above the posted speed limit ...the statement I made was not that people don't think a Jeep would be doing 100 mph b/c of it's vehicle type ,ut rather the 25--50 mph over the speed limit thing ...My Jeep with any motor under the hood would be unsafe at 100mph ...lol
