Something we didn't know: the Grand Cherokee SRT8 is apparently the second-quickest SRT vehicle after the Viper, eclipsing the trio of LX cars as well as the Crossfire SRT6 and the Viper-powered Ram SRT-10. The 420-horse 6.1L Hemi powers the SUV to quarter-mile times in the 13s and to 60 in under five. Since the same mill powers the LX SRT8 models, we're assuming the Jeep's got a serious final-drive ratio to overcome the weight and aerodynamic differential. The price? Five bucks under $40k, which isn't bad for an SUV that'll take a Cayenne Turbo in a drag race.
