Thats fucking nice. You just bought a new car tho didn't you?

Low and mean...very impressive :thumbsup

it looks beastlike

Looks a little boxy to me even though I like the cargo space pic. I would go for a toyota but I dont care about how fast they go.

I like it...

If i got to chose between a turbo and that it would be an easy choice
porsche all the way lol

sorry but please inform yourself more before making such a post

1. it has less hp then the cayenne turbo (CAYENNE TURBO =500hp)
2. it has more weight then the cayenne turbo

-------------------------------------------------
slower then the cayenne turbo

ah btw there is a new cayenne turbo S with 521 hp :winkwink

ugh... just buy a cube van, drop in a big block and put 20" wheels on it already

Pretty nice but not my thing.

That front is so low to the ground there's no way you could actually go anywhere that needed 4WD :(

I thought so
I also wouldnt compare porsche and Jeep lol
:1orglaugh
I mean you can compare them... but.... please nigga...

i always say: you can't compare "normal hp" with "porsche hp"

look at the stock porsche carrera 911: it has only 300 hp and does 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds

thats insane

Actually, the Jeep SRT-8 IS faster than a Cayenne Turbo . Horsepower and weight don't matter nearly as much as the powerband and correct gearing :winkwink:

Just going by what Edmunds.com Review said. Sorry, have not raced them side by side. :1orglaugh

I think it's fugly

It's fulltime all wheel drive. Not made for off road.

If I was going for a performance truck or SUV I'd take the Dodge RAM SRT-10 way before the Jeep.

Told ya so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

quote :"It has the raw power to outperform the Porsche Cayenne Turbo,"

translated: the torque may be more but the cayenne still would outrace it :winkwink:

The 06 Cayenne get's a boost in power, 520hp now I think, but 0-60 was 4.8, still a hair slower. Thats the difference between N/A and F/I :winkwink:

Ah...it's getting harder and harder to find a decent true 4WD suv these days :(

Any car of similar weight with ~ 300hp should run high 13s and do 0-60 in the low 5s... "porsche hp"?? :1orglaugh

Wangler is about as close as you're gonna get. Soccer Mom's have ruined the rest :disgust

fugly looking SUV

Actually, the Cayenne Turbo is still 450hp. The new Cayenne Turbo S is 520hp, but has a base price starting at $111,600.

Ahh, I just heard a blip about it on the radio the other day.

No uglier then the Cayenne, I cringe when ever I see one of those on the road.

wtf are you talking about ??


show me a car with similar weight and hp and better time from 0-60

my dad is buying one soon

I know. We just got rid of our 4wd Passport that sat high enough we could take it offroad. The transmission had crapped out on it.

Personally, I like the Trailblazer SS

love this wheels

Looks like a nice 'car' until you get over 60mph and all the emblems fall off.
Too bad they even call it a 'Jeep' since its not even really designed or intended for off-road use.
I'll take the Porsche Cayenne any day hands down.

bullshit

Also put some corners in the track in question and you will see the Cayenne beat the shit out of that poor SRT-8.

You might want to pick up the latest motortrend....corners didn't help the Cayenne any :winkwink:

Looks pretty good. Not bad.

and also worth less then 10% of its original value in say 5 yrs :)

I was actually thinking of getting one. I seen the review on TV. It looks like a great ride for a guy my size. I'm definitely not buying it New though. Probably get one in the second year of production.

imagine how it would look black on black with some 22"s :D
It's either that or the rover.

You can't beat the Jeep for that kinda difference in price.
