"Best launch used no brake torque -- just mash and go. Manual shifting difficult to predict to avoid rev limiter -- especially in 1st gear. Awesome engine blasts through first three gears instantly"
Jeep SRT8
Performance:
0 - 30 (sec): 2.0
0 - 45 (sec): 3.5
0 - 60 (sec): 5.2
0 - 75 (sec): 7.8
1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 13.49 @ 102.24
30 - 0 (ft): 30.1
60 - 0 (ft): 120.0
"Best technique was simply leaving it in "Drive" with traction control off and launching with mild brake torquing."

Car and Driver tested the Jeep SRT8:
0-60: 4.5 sec
1/4 mile: 13.2@103
0-100: 12.0 sec.
The ML63 was tested last month by car and driver:
0-60: 4.6 sec
1/4 mile: 13.2 @107
0-100: 11.5 sec.
Clearly, the ML63 should be closer than that video shows, but I still believe the Jeep SRT8 launches a bit harder...

I have a good feeling that the SRT8 is making more power than the claimed 420.
It all makes sense now. That Jeep is one heck of a car.
