Unlikely Matchup: Nissan GT-R Stage 2 vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 Supercharged



The people behind Dragtimes.info love sharing videos where powerful machines are paired in head-to-head straight-line automotive combat. Recently, a unique face-off occurred when a Nissan GT-R lined up at the tree with a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 in the other lane. Both vehicles are far from stock, put down their power via all four wheels and snap off the line as if they were whips cracked by Henry Walton Jones, Jr himself.

Both drivers have a mile to go before they reach the finish line. That distance will be covered in less than 30 seconds.

Horrible launch by the Jeep, should have been a dead even race. But still damn sexy

Jeep took a terrific hole shot but held on. Even with those brick-like aerodynamics, it turned in a pretty impressive performance against a pretend supercar.
