Default Who would win, me vs jeep srt-8

Me and a guy at work have been getting into it on who would run faster.

Here is the scenario.

Me with current mods + built tranny, my 3800+ 9.5" stall, 28" slicks, and maybe traction bars

vs

His completely stock 07 Jeep Cherokee SRT-8 on street tires.

This race would be at a 1/8th mile track.


He claims he ran a best of 8.6ish with a 1.8 or 1.7 60ft the last time he ran the jeep about a year ago, so the numbers could be better or worse than what he really ran (he lost the timeslip).

It would be close with all those mods, but the SRT-8 Jeeps are nasty.

Tough call... AWD and they don't seem to have much in the way of tourque management. My friends SRT8 GC walked all over me until about 40-50 mph.
