G: Dem, are you ready? D: No G: 2.5 tons are about to go 100KMH (60MPH) in 3.2 - 3.3 seconds real soon. Well, let's roll.
G: Fuck. It slips! D: Oh shit! G: This can't be happening! No way! Did you get it? It started sliding. Fuck.
Let's start with saying that this car basically represents the fastest SUV in a 1/4 mile division. The fastest SRT8 in the US goes 1/4 mile in 8 seconds.
Not a single Gelandewagen can come close to accomplishing that. That's for starters.
Secondly, even on Russian tracks that are different from their american counterparts SRT8 displays 9.5 - 9.6.
Exactly this one displays the max speed of 240+KMH (~150MPH) attained in 9.8 seconds in a 1/4 mile divison without weight reduction, but with redone interior and good sound system.
It's faster than Bugatti Veyron, Porsche 918 Spyder, your favourite Laferrari and Mclaren P1 that you…ok we won't be mentioning that.
Therefore, despite being manufactured in 2008 and having a mileage of 60.000KM (~37.000MILES) it still can come to a drag strip and kick Bugatti's ass: Veyron, Chiron very well might be, P1 and Laferrari.
D: So essentially it's a muscle car SUV, that's how I perceive it for some reason G: Yeah, a rather applicable analogy, it's just that. Incredibly fast if goes straight but it's best if you don't oversteer it.
There is a range of cars that can compensate their tuning worth 100%. Such as Mitsubishi Lancer evolution, hell let's please subarists a little:
Subaru Impreza WRX STI, NISSAN GTR 32 or 35 - doesn't matter which one, and SRT if one of the few that really compensates you every invested dollar, dime even and is seriously good.
've already had the chance to push the pedal to 3/4 of it's way and got instantly scared.
So now I'm making a U-turn to do it once more and check out your reaction, if you manage to hold the camera. Are you ready? How are you, brother?
D: Impressive. Very impressive! G: And this is just a city setup with 0.9bar, 0.8 - 0.9 - yes, Pasha? P: 0.8 - 0.9
Gearbox here is similar to the one installed in the Gelandewagen. 5 speed automatic. You know what's special about it?
It's ancient, not very fast, it doesn't allow to save fuel, but if reinforced it handles 2000NM! 2000, thanks to that number it had this great initial jump that left behind faster cars like BMW M5, Mercedes E63 ///AMG, ML 63 ///AMG, Cayenne Turbo.
Certainly after 150KMH (~93MILES) it's like it anchores and stops accelerating aggressively meaning that the gearbox starts working against it.
But it 0 - 150KMH (~93 MILES) is a piece of a cake for it.
The engine. 6.1 litre stock, V8 HEMI. Classic american power.
Pasha experimented quite a few times with it, killed a few even and came at last by trial and error came to the conclusion that there is no sense in spending 300.000 - 400.000 to but SRT8 engine 6.1 litre.
It was better to purchase a 5.7 litre from a stock Grand Cherokee that even has thicker cylinder walls and temper with it. This is what he did with this precise SRT.
What was done with? A stroker kit was installed that made the engine into a 6.4 litre one. It included forged pistons, forged rods, a reinforced crankshaft, sleeved engine block.
Two Garret GTX 35 turbos were installed.
As for figures, if run on 0.9bar on 98 octane petrol just like right now it show 1000HP. In a racing setup it showed 2000NM on a dyno.
This figure is enough to drag 5 semi-trucks filled with cement, for example. But instead it drags a single car weighing 2.5 tons, its cool owner and subwoofer that is in the trunk.
We've already tested a turbo SRT, we've been asked to drive a WK1 that's considered to be most evil and true SRT. Now I see why would all these people be interested in it.
D: By the way? What's the difference? G: The difference is that this one is much more evil, more emotional when accelerating, emotionwise it's so much more fun. Guys, I have a duck on the hood, let me pass through. Hello!
Not on Unlim, not in a 1/4 mile division, nowhere has any SUV come close to SRT figures. X5M, ML 63 ///AMG and so on, all this german pop, let's call it that, also Bentley Bentayga.
Imagine a golf club, those are sweet boys kind of, that make a lot of dough, have expensive polos. Now imagine a suburban dude, who lived his entire life breathing fresh air, carrying logs around - DNA of force and health.
Anyway this kind of guy he comes in, everyone looks down on him - no expensive polo, doesn't play gold, but if it so happens that a fight is around the corner, this countrylike dude will fuck everyone up.
D: So why are BMW X owners are so skeptical in regards to this car? G: E - envy. Certainly that's the case. SRT doesn't have a cool interior or multimedia system, more that that there is simply nothing to discuss about the interior.
Even the newest SRTs have just reached a minimum allowed level of multimedia sophistication. Old SRTs can't even allow you to connect your mobile via Bluetooth.
So that you see the level. But only an idiot buys it for multimedia, has high expectations of SRT interior or threads.
Everyone buys it for the same reason: loud exhaust installation, so that you are seen as scary as possible and so that your girlfriend hears you 3 blocks away and starts applying makeup in advance because she hears her loved one coming back from work.
And secondly to install two Garret GTX 35 turbos, as Pasha did, make them1.5bar and go quarter in 9.8 seconds.
So 0 - 100KM (0 - 60MPH), one of the most popular questions - in a combat regime, with good tires on a heated track it does that in 2.5 seconds.
The 1000 HP Gelandewagen we reviewed did it in 4 seconds. And this is like cool. Dem, I'm tired of talking.
Can't believe the way it behaves, fucking impressive. What's interesting is that….got carried away a little…so that Gelandewagen, with all due respect to the series and its' owners, this is on a whole different level.
I just want to draw your attention to the fact that we've done multiple accelerations and oil temperature is 86 degrees - not a single hint of overheating!
I'll now ask Pavel, the owner, to drive it and place myself in the passenger seat. Gonna try relive the Demich's experience!
D: You won't be disappointed! G: It's not happening, not at this point.
So I've mentioned that tuning is compensated easily. Now let's turn to Auto.ru and find out how much SRT costs. We launch the app, we select the corresponding brand and model, WK1, the best generation.
Somewhat 30 are available starting at 990.000RUB, many versions are available and by the way this car is also there for 2.5mil RUB.
Step on it, I'd like to feel it from passenger's perspective. It's ridiculously fast. Acceleration is evident.
G: Pasha, what kind of setups you had previously, engine-wise? What volumes, what turbos? P: Engine were all alike, Stroker 6.1 litre - 7 litre, first turbos were 42 GTX
G: Single turbo? P: Yes, best everyday city build available, most troubleproof with 1000HP setup.
G: What about brakes? Yours are unusual. P: Black Brembo, 4 piston - like the ones Audi RS6 has, C6 body, right?
G: Yes. P: Thanks to that it brakes good. G: It does that decently.
G: I have a question: say that you have a stock SRT - how much would it cost to build it using 42 Garret with all improvements, ready to drive setup? Everyday config.
P: Hard to say because of exchange rates. But even now seems like doing that for 1 mil RUB is easy. The car will be fast.
BMW owners will hate me at this point, but reinforcing the gearbox so that it can handle 2000NM will cost you 200.000RUB - 250.000 RUB
G: I'm a BMW owner and I dare say I totally hate you right now!Nissan GTR's gearbox reinforcement allowing it to handle 1700 - 1800 NM demands an investment of 1.5 - 2 mil RUB
What about durability? If you use it everyday…
P: Back in the days I used to drive it year round, a full year without a care, single turbo, 3 different firmwares, one experimental - 92 octane petrol producing 740 HP
G: Unbelievable! P: Yes, 740 HP, 92 octane, 42 GTX, quarter in 11.3 - 11.4. G: Which is very fast for a SUV P: 0 - 100KM (0 - 60MILES) under 4 seconds.
G: Let me tell them about Voronezh. Pasha rode SRT all the way to Voronezh, +30 Celsium (~86F). P: It was in Ryazan'.
G: Yes, you also went there on your own? P: Of course. G: So this car was able to do the job in 9.8 sec under such conditions. Then Pasha returned back to Moscow. What a car!
G: Might I ask you, we've just made a U - turn, push it from the spot.
P: We've made so much dust rise up, the roads are not washed as good as they should be. G: Yeah, the heart is pumping so fast, my poor heart.
G: How much will it cost to build a car like yours? To do a quarter under 10 seconds, but maintain everyday use city drive functionality.
P: I don't think it will be more expensive. Buy a stock car for a 1 - 1.2 mil RUB, invest 2 mil in it and you get a car that goes 1/4 mile un 9 sec. Try finding it.
G: 3 - 3.5 mil RUB gives you a crazy SRT.
P: Mad crazy. Single or twin turbo - not important, it depends on the goal. Nevertheless, the car will be perfect for everyday use.
Yes, the gearbox will twitch a little, but it's still reinforced, limited slip differential will also have a hard time, so if you don't want to lose grip, you have to be ready to sacrifice something.
G: It's nothing, it doesn't matter when your car does 100KM (60MILES) in 2.5 seconds and a quarter under 10 seconds.
P: On the other hand, you don't face the problems BMW owners face when shit is getting broken.
G: You rub salt into my wounds. P: This is an American car, everything here is built to last long. But only this body, WK2 restyling is still somewhat weak.
G: A true SRT is WK1? P: Yep, that's the one. G: Pasha, thank you very much.
P: It's nothing. G: I wanna take another spin. P: Not a problem.
What's under the hood? I see two large Garret GTX 35 turbos, huge blowoff, salad painted admission receiver.
This engine is very hungry, so another line of injectors is placed. As Pavel told us earlier, 470 litres per hour are pumped with the use of 3 pumps.
D: Why paint it in this color? G: Quite simply the owner had sneakers of this color, he decided not to bother himself with the issue and paint it the same.
D: So a real lady chooses a handbag accordingly to her heels. G: True racers choose an admission receiver color accordingly to their sneakers. So it goes.
And of course we see the famous duck on the hood smoking a cigar, isn't it a cigar? The history behind it is such that in the 70s an american movie Convoy was filmed.
The plot was about long-haul truckers who placed duck on their trucks. Later the movie Death Proof where one of the protagonists also had it on the hood of his Challenger or Charger, don't remember exactly.
Now the fastest SRT in Moscow has it to display the power it has and to support unity in the muscle car owners social group.
This was a brief test drive of a turbo SRT. What have we understood? It's not steered like BMW X5 M, it doesn't have the 63 ///AMG interior and its exterior is modest compared to Porsche Cayenne.
Well, fuck that. It's the fastest SUV in the world. This one is among the fastest in Russia, a quarter in 9.8 seconds.
Please write your own suggestions as to what SRT stands for. This was a DT test drive. My name is Guram, subscribe, like, write comments and see you soon!
