Lets compare apples to apples. I have a 99 R/T RC weighing 4200 and a 2001
Grand Cherokee limited 4.7V8 weighing 4000, both automatics because that is the
only way you can get it and limited slip rear ends. The GC is very responsive
but the R/T can beat it 2 lengths to 60 and 5 on the quarter mile. the GC is
stock and the R/T has headers. Now I own them both and the GC is fun to drive
and lots quieter and more comfortable but for sheer speed the R/T is better.
Both are 4X2 models also. At 60 mph on cruise with a/c on the R/T gets 18 mpg
and the GC gets 21. Now there is a difference.
