You'd think it would do better than a 9.15 with 950 hp. My uncles fox body has just over 600 and runs mid 8s.

The Cherokee isnt exactly aerodynamic either, so Id say low 9s are quiet respectable nnumbers. 'Stangs are lower, lighter, and cut through the wind pretty good. Cherokees are barns on wheels.

To be truthful, my gut instinct was to feel really bad for that Jeep, because that's not natural... but I guess it beats the h*** out of being some soccer mom's cute ute so... good for it.

Well go-lly, for that reasonable 35,000 dollar asking price I'm suprised it didn't go before it was even posted!

Oh wait. I could by an XJ, a 440 and vinyl flames for the difference between what the bid's up to and what the reserve is. Maybe that's why.

Unless that mustang weighs only 1500lbs, he's got a bit more than 600HP running 8s in the 1/4.
