Drag racing the Commander

Dont Vipers run a lot faster then that stock? I know the newer Z06 Corvettes will run 11.9's all day.

the capability of a vehicle & the capability of the driver are two different things... lol. typical race for me was getting the hole shot, getting out as far as i could as fast as i could and beating them by a bumper at the trap. look at how low my MPH is compared to my ET. the muscle cars run 10-20mph with the same ET

Thats true. The driver is a big thing when it comes to racing and off roading.

Here's a tip for your stop light wars. That ESP button that looks like the slippery road signs, yup that one. Next time you start your jeep push and hold that button. A message in the garge cluster will appear that says ESP Deactivated. Even if you just press the button it will not fully deactivate the system you have to hold it until the message pops up. Now that you have the kill joy turned off line up next to that annoying neighborhood kid in his mudstain and rev it to 1100 rpm, release brake while floring the gas. If you do it correctly you should feel the front tires loose traction and you may even get some pretty bad torque steer as it struggles for grip.

It will surprise most people. I do this so often my daughter (2) knws to brace herself when I say "daddys gonna launch the jeep". My wife is never amused!
