Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to present this 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. Although it's known for building off-roaders, Jeep proved that on-road performance wasn't out of the realm of its capabilities when it launched the Grand Cherokee SRT8 for 2006. Chrysler's Street and Race Technology (SRT) division turned the third-generation Grand Cherokee into a sports car by adding a big V8 engine, a drivetrain-specific transfer case, and a comprehensively overhauled suspension system. While it wasn't light, the SRT8 was quicker to 60 mph than a Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Power comes from a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 fitted with a Vortech V-3 supercharger, rated at 420 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque in stock, naturally aspirated form. Due to the modifications performed to this Grand Cherokee, it likely produces more power, but a dyno sheet was not provided to confirm. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission. Inside, you'll find a range of features designed to enhance your driving pleasure. The air conditioning system ensures a pleasant atmosphere regardless of the weather outside, while the power sunroof allows you to enjoy fresh air and natural light at your convenience. The power seats, power windows, and power locks add a layer of convenience, making adjustments effortless and enhancing your overall driving experience. Entertainment and connectivity are well-catered for with the inclusion of a Pioneer touchscreen AM/FM radio and a CD player, allowing you to enjoy your favorite tunes on the go. The tilt steering wheel and cruise control feature provide added comfort and ease during long drives, ensuring you remain relaxed and in control. Power brakes and power steering contribute to responsive handling and stopping power, while the rear defogger ensures clear visibility in various weather conditions. Overall, this 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee combines powerful performance with a host of convenient features, making it a compelling choice for those seeking both adventure and comfort in their driving experience.
