What a bunch of whiners. From the beginning he said he shifted back into 2wd. Sure it's unlikely, but entirely impossible? I could see it happening from revving it to 5 grand and dropping the clutch. Now back to the original question, use a programmer.
Heres some test data from the Michigan State Patrol Vehicle Tests-
Chevy Impala (2001)
Chevrolet Flegel 1:43.41 1:43.76 1:43.50 1:43.00
Impala Clark 1:44.54 1:43.32 1:43.40 1:43.42
3.8L Wilson 1:43.86 1:44.17 1:44.12 1:44.22
ABS Brakes Schutter 1:43.82 1:43.97 1:43.69 1:43.94
OVERALL AVERAGE 1:43.59
Jeep Cherokee (2001)
DaimlerChrysler Flegel 1:46.85 1:46.43 1:45.87 1:45.08
Jeep Cherokee (4WD) Clark 1:45.26 1:45.18 1:45.98 1:45.77
4.0L MPFI Wilson 1:46.24 1:45.40 1:46.75 1:46.91
ABS Brakes Schutter 1:46.90 1:46.45 1:46.99 1:46.51
OVERALL AVERAGE 1:46.16
2 wheel drive was a tad quicker.

It wont out handle a Chevy Impala or Ford Crown Vic but it was not too far behind them. By the way- Heres the top speed test data from the same report.
There was a post here or somewhere else from a guy that was road racing a Cherokee on the track. Did really well from what he said. I can't find it now though.

The
course used is a 2-mile, road-racing-type configuration,
containing hills, curves, and corners. The course simulates
actual conditions encountered in pursuit or emergency
driving situations in the field, with the exception
of other traffic.

Impala on the course. They didn't have one of the Jeep.
Not to hijack the thread but this is sorta what they put them through-
Kinda slow till about 40 seconds in.

I made little ricers cry with my MDX... which I suppose is just a bigger ricer.
I'd love to have a speed limiter that was set to 70. Or maybe have it aware of the current speed limit of where I'm driving. That way I have no concern of getting a speeding ticket.
