Does it come in a Hellcat version

Does it come in a Hellcat version

Nope. But a buddy of mine did get an SRT 392 Wrangler for his wife. The thing is f'ing scary, no one should ever put that much HP on a wobbly Wrangler chassis, IMO. Reminds me the supercharged v8 go-cart posted in another thread, yesterday.

Glad they did…fits in there nicely…

Nice! I love the stupidity of it! But I've done a lot of trail driving and rock crawling, and a nice v6 thru a 3-speed auto gets the job done better than any big-displacement engine that only makes the vehicle heavier and more nose-heavy on steep descents.

But don't take it as criticism, as I would get a kick out of a big block on a go cart! I was the guy with stupid 40" tires on Bronco's and Ram Chargers with big v8's, while everyone else was out there skirting around me and into places I could never reach, in smaller and lighter v6 Wranglers. Practicality is not my strong suit.

I had many Jeeps before this one and this one finally has just the right amount of power…. This will be my last, if it does actually “last”.

Last "appropriate" (best for the job) engine Jeep put in the Wrangler was the old straight 6, NOT a V6. I made sure to snag one of the last ones made, a 2006. Can't stall that engine...come to a really rough spot in the trail, put it in 1st gear (manual transmission, of course!), don't touch the throttle and it will idle up and over any obstacle. No V6 with a manual tranny can do that. So now Jeep has gone back to the straight 6 - but with twin turbos. Double the horsepower and torque of today's 4 cylinder and V6 engines. The new engine is currently available in the new Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer and will be in the Wrangler and pickups soon. All V8 engines (the hemis) will be discontinued. Diesel engine is already discontinued.

Last of the good ones....

We love our little 2L turbo Rubicon. goes absolutely anywhere with front & rear diff locks and sway bar disconnects.

I was dreaming of a Gladiator with the diesel, but the _________ got that axed.

I really liked my 462 cubic inch (Pontiac) Jeepster. floor it at 50 MPH and smoke the rear tires

None of the guys I would trail ride or rock climb with were running the old straight 6. It's been 25 years since then, but I believe most of them were running GM 60° or Chevy Vortec v6's, but I also remember at least two Buick v6's in the group. These guys were rock climbers, not antiquers.

I also used the term "Wrangler" generically. These were mostly later CJ's.

Friend of mine bought an '06 Jeep LJ and put a Hellcat engine in it. Now that's cool!!!
