I just learned about the $90,000 Jeep Cherokee. Worth the price?

That is one example, stop trolling. a 78 mustang V8 had only 133 hp. How many of those old school cars came with 500hp? you literally took the rarest exception possible and tried to play it like the norm. On average a v8 engine in the 60s and 70s was pushing between 200 and 300 hp.
A v6 nowadays does between 250 and 350 on average.

Nobody is collecting that regular 78 mustang though, they're are collecting Mustang GT350s. What you also don't realize is that a lot of V8s back then were underrated from the factory. What the specs sheet tell you is off.

New V6 engines also lack on torque. My 2001 Lexus V8 has more torque than a 2019 Infiniti Q50 with the turbo v6.

For most people, once you get above $30-$35K for a new vehicle, it's just style, performance, and stunting preferences.

Why the fukk would you pay $90K to "stunt" in a vehicle that most people won't even recognize as expensive / luxury like that? What performance-oriented person drops $90K on a Jeep-branded SUV for performance?

I'd hope there's a very small market of rich Jeep enthusiasts.
Track Hawks and Durango 392's are pretty popular in Atlanta, alot of guys want them. Pull up in a Durango SRT with the rally stripes, you're definitely turning heads.

Torque is good for low rpm level power applications like towing and stuff. Trucks advertise their torque, but straight speed is all about hp.

90k on a jeep sounds like a waste unless you some really big jeep enthusiast.

Was never really into cars like that. Been pushing my 07 Hyundai Elantra car note free since 2012.

Only car I'd ever drop 90k for is a fully loaded Tesla Model S P100D. Test drove one a few years back and the experience was amazing:banderas:

it's a jeep so no, reliability is terrible, however it's SRT so you may be good, essentially the same as the dodge demon and hellcat.
