ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 4m 4d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 14/05/11 02:30 AM Share Posted 14/05/11 02:30 AM I thought I would share the great news that I have just ordered the wife a new car (or truck). After some extensive searching, we have decided on a new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with the new Diesel motor.Ordered on Friday and delivery expected by end of July. The car is a great value for money in the sub $80k market. Based on the new 2012 ML Merc floorpan, it ticked all the boxes. The only other car I really considered was the new Territory, but all the tech in the Jeep made up my mind.More pictures of the beast are HERE Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74843-zaps-wifes-new-car/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I might be a bit disappointed with the power of my first new diesel after driving turbo sixes. I was wrong, standard 650nm + chip = 800nm so far and soon to be new exhaust for a bit more. Looks to have a lot of good stuff built in at a low price compared to other vehicles in the same class.Hope to read your review of the new rig after you have it for a while. Read some of the reviews of the new diesel motor and they seem to get a pretty good rap.
