    What weighs a ton more than a Challenger (6,282 lbs.), has a 6-cylinder 182 cubic inch engine and can do the 1/4 mile in 13.1 sec. @105.6 mph (i.e., the same time as the 6.1 HEMI) and 0-60 mph in only 4.6 sec?

    Give up?

    It's the 2025 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Series III Obsidian 4X4, with the 540 hp. twin-turbo Hurricane engine.

    Somehow, I think there would be very few people that would get those numbers on the street. Everybody likes to throw stats out there, unfortunately none of them mention it's at a drag strip, cooking up the tires, etc.

    Isn't the drag strip how car performance is assessed? How can you objectively measure street performance?
