  • That is always the case with American cars. They always fly off the line, and get tired and weak due to unaggressive gear changes and relatively low HP compared to German cars.

  • Thecls63 u have it backwards

  • The Srt-8 Not racing

    !!

  • Clueless! First, you need to set the transmission to Sport mode, turn of the ESP, and then apply the brake while giving it just enough throttle to keep the brakes from braking loose. When the light turns green tromp on it while taking your foot off the brake at the same time. This sequence of events puts the ML63 into launch mode and let's the vehicle know that you want the quickest take off possible. And consequently, that's what you'll get. Should've smoked that Jeep imported from Detroit!

  • Well the Germans no doubt engineer cars well. But youre paying 20-40 k more depending on model... And why not support American automakers versus supporting foreign...

  • @doctorwhodj The MLs are made in Alabama. American workers put them together. Its just like if you buy a GM truck they are made in mexico.

  • There is no way I'd by the American over the German.

  • Two mastodonts racing ftw! Like 2 overweight babies trying to see who can crawl faster. Lol!

  • Cat like theif in the background music :D

  • guy in srt obviously cant drive

  • aren't these two pretty much the same vehicles? but yes I wish EU cars were more affordable. Japanese is the happy medium.

  • @LoveShock2

    You would be surprised how many "European" cars are made in the USA.

    btw I'm European, so don't start your reaction with "typical american"

  • cool

  • @LoveShock2 wow,, jeep really ate that car up!

  • @LoveShock2 again false... simple mechanics like what? name 1 part of an american car thats soooo old fashon that not found on a euro car... such as peugot, renault, mini, citreon, lancia or other low end brands...

    funny story about the fiat freelander...do you know the story why Lancia when under? because all therre cars rusted away and had to replace them, thus destroying the company... for god sakes euro brand cars are {{besides the luxury high ends}} are know for being POS cars

  • benz is heavier but still pulled so good on big end. if the jeep did a 30punch it wouldve been miserable fail

  • @ cemetarygatesml return to quebec mon osti de cave

  • Great launch from that Jeep!

  • Seriously how even compares such baseless shit. It's like saying a Camry is better than a Ferrari!

  • @Permobil2004 camry is better then a ferrari... it can do more thing :P and be practical at the same time LOL

    performace wize its no match.

  • The guy in the Jeep still has money leftover for gas.

  • @freakyjord2025 Mercedes did split from Chrysler. That's why they were acquired by fiat

  • Jeep had the A/C on lol

  • the merc is way too overprice!!! gimme jeep pls :D

  • all benz's start off slow for some reason, but once they get in that powerband they'll take off

  • @zaklange it´s because of a safety feature on the engine it´s slow in the start because of mercedes have done that it´s gone slow up to 4000 rpm

  • @zaklange you're right. Even the older mercs, their gearing is for long distances; autobahn. Once they are in their stride nothing can touch them

  • @zaklange Because mercedes has always more torque than HP, Other cars has a huge amount of HP just for the start and not enough torque for top speed

  • @zaklange yes because they are heavy

  • @zaklange the driver should know how to get better start off with AWD car , its all about the driver trust me on that

  • launches so hard, for heavy vehicle

  • Comparing a Jeep to a Mercedes is a joke. So what that it can sprint off the line? The ML63 will surpass it 30-70 not to mention the luxury and reliability. Anyone that questions Mercedes reliability is stuck in the late 90's early 2000's when it was in a partnership with Chrysler.... Chrysler is a cancer for automotive companies as its cars are NOTORIOUSLY badly built.

  • @princemarko Right, those guys with the 07 ml63's that blew their motors must have been stuck in the 90's. Or maybe the way their transmissions literally ate themselves well into 08 models were just lost in time as well. I'll give you the luxury thing, but the 6.1 in the jeep is solid and the tranny (sourced from benz) is solid up to 550 awhp. Hell, we didn't even go over the typical electrical problems in the merc

  • @princemarko i love how you bash chrysler for reliability... when Merc is know for failures... even to this date.

    funny tho... my father has owned 3 chrysler vehicles in his life time, a 1968 Dodge Charger, never broke down, near 400,000km when he sold it. then he bought a Jeep comanche in 1988... never broke down, burnt about a little oil. sold it in 2001 to a farm @ over 450,000km on it.

    now he drives a 2000 dodge Dakota, over 350,000km and counting. all chrysler built vehicles.

  • @CemetaryGatesML Failures in reliability for Mercedes Benzs began to become noticeable especially from 1998 onwards, when Mercedes Benz thought a merger with Chrysler to form DaimlerChrysler would help globalization of the vehicle brands. The 300C is probably the best thing MB helped Chrysler with (not too fond of the Crossfire), but I think they sacrificed quality to try reach out to all people. Wish they would separate and start over.

  • You cant compare the 2. Mercedes will overtake that after 30mph. Now it comes down to.. Mercedes with leather wrapped interior and all the other good stuff. Or Jeep with plastic wrapped interior heavy as shit. With problems up the ass

  • the jeep raped you off the line.....

  • The ML has almost a quarter more power , but because the way it passed the GC i doubt it would loose if both had equal HP ...

  • ml63 is not twin turbo, only the newer s class, cl, cls models come with the 5.5 twin turbo engine labeled 63 amg

  • Jeep SRT8 0-60mph = 4.6 sec (6.1L Hemi V8)

    vs.

    ML63 AMG 0-60mph = 4.8 sec (6.2L M156 V8 TT)

    And not to mention the price difference between these two.....

  • @skychallenger Not to mention that the new SRT8 comes with a 6.2L too ;). Hehe I can't wait! Then throw some headers, exhaust, and supercharger on it and you got yourself a car that eats that ML63 for dinner. Not only that, but the damn Jeep is already as aerodynamic as a brick!

  • @patwwe ???? The new Jeep is coming with the same 392 in the Chally its a 6.4L for clarification so no mis-info goes around. And its not as easy as putting a blower/intake/exhaust since the new 6.4 and even the 5.7 Hemis all have super encrypted PCM's and will not be able to be tuned for a little while. Guys are working on it but no reliable source has been able to crack Chryslers coding I think its like 128hex key or something crazy. So yeah w/o a tune not much can be done for big gains :/

  • @antonio105x Yeah I know I'm sorry someone already corrected me, my bad dude. Well I assume, if you want the power you have to "pay the price". Anyways it's still a great Jeep! :D

  • @skychallenger

    The Mercedes ML63 is a NA 378cu in 6.2 liter engine with 507 hp. The Jeep is supercharged.  You have it backwards.

  • @princemarko

    You got it wrong, the JEEP SRT8 is NOT supercharged, the 6.1 HEMI is a NA engine produce 425hp and better fuel efficiency than the ML63 AMG. And yes the ML63 is a NA engine, its AMG so i automaticly thought it was superchargerd...

  • Jeep SRT8 is better in acceleration, ML63AMG is better in top end.

    The point is, SRT8 is a Naturally Aspirated engine, the ML63 AMG is Twin Turbocharged

  • @skychallenger what are you talking about? the ml63 amg is naturally aspirated. the ml63 amg is the crossover with the most powerful stock naturally aspirated v8 engine

  • hahaah jeep thought he had this one in the bag.

  • @rayj778 He could have whooper than ML63 with few modifications and about half the price. Don't be so impressed, that was literally nothing...

  • ML 63 Amg #lovethatcar

  • Hello, they arent inside a AMG or anything foreign. If you look in the reflection on the side of the Jeep...you will see the other SUV (looks like a jeep as well) that the camera guy is holding. Come one guys...lame-ass, liars on this one!

  • @123blazeboi Are you serious? An ML63 is a SUV. Just by looking at the passenger air vent can be confirmed it is the ML. Use the google before responding with idiocy!!

  • the jeep let off .. gay video

    

  • Srt8's are like a bad pop song that never goes away.

  • Damn that jeep got of the line

  • i love people who said they would rather buy the ML over the SRT8 Lmao....

    100k for the ML AMG... haha for that price i can buy the SRT8, the put a supercharger in and destroy that AMG... then buy a replica Shelby Cobra... then get a Boob job for my girlfriend for that much money...

  • @CemetaryGatesML Or you can just buy the ML, look like a boss and attract a girlfriend that won't need a boob job...

  • @jctevere yea... o yea so i can attract alll the stupid drunk chicks that can get jobs and look for a man to support her while she persuits her dreams of being a hair stylist making 15$ hr....

    yea no thanks, il stick to my women and perk her tits up... besides ... i can attract all thoes dumbass chicks with that cobra i can buy with the extra money :P

  • @CemetaryGatesML Haha, to each's own man. I'm still young so I'm not getting married, definitely not buying a boob job anytime soon for any girl. And plus, why buy the fake when you can have the real thing...

  • @jctevere lmao because the fakes look better :P

  • @CemetaryGatesML STRAIGHT THE FUCK UP... well said =)

    

  • @CemetaryGatesML even if that srt8 had a supercharger, still cant beat the 6.3L engine

  • @deskmant look up the qtr mile times of these 2 vehicles... now imagine of that srt8 was pumping out 100-250 more HorsePower. yea it will easly beat the ML.

  • @CemetaryGatesML luxury costs money

  • @CemetaryGatesML no matter what u do to that jeep, and the end of the day your still driving a chysler.

  • @jdgarcia2004 sorry but i like chrysler vehicles wayyy better that german cars.

    example? as nice as BMW's, Audi's and mercs are ... the Dodge Charger, Challanger and 300C are just sexy apealing cars that are realisticly priced. i'd rather spend 30k on a SRT8 charger, then a 1 series bmw or base model A4.

    i'd also rather drive a lifted jeep Wrangler with chunky tires and off-road style design, doors off roof off... theirs nothing like it.

    and thoes 60's muscle cars, i love chrysler.

  • @CemetaryGatesML Maybe but they can compare with the Luxury of a German car as well as the technology. I will agree most chrysler's are a better value. Besides Chrysler's are cheap junk cars (until now that is). German car might be junk as well, however they have a longer lasting. Seriously I hate people that compare and contrast such baseless shit.

  • @CemetaryGatesML You are an idiot point period. People don't care as much for speed and performance, they Mercedes because of the prestige and quality. Nextime you want to make and argument have some base. Besides most Jeep Buyers are interested in offroad capability and good value not performance. Don't even compare the Cobra to these piece of shit Mopars! The Cobra is at the same level as a Ferrari. Besides both of them are a waste time, it's not like you are going to drag race with an SUV!

  • @Permobil2004 im an idiot... you should read what you wrote before you post it....

    prestige and quality? quality materials yes, somewhat... quality built? hahahhahaha

    prestige? idiots find it prestige, i can aford a maserati quatrosporte for 30k... were that leave the murc for prestige? dead in the water...

    most jeep buyer who actually buy the wrangler or etc are actually interested in the off road potential... just ask them for once...

  • @CemetaryGatesML true but let's me honest the srt8 is american garbage no offence to the usa the ml63 amg is a GERMAN car you get quality,reliability and much more and the srt8 wont save you money on fuel

  • @MrSoccernugget careful what you say, quality materials- yes.

    quality built- No, thats the mistake people make, i personal know people who have had farrrr more reliability issues with german cars then American cars, not saying germans cars are poorly built, but they absalutly dont deserve the rep the hold, nor do the american cars. 17yr old mustang, not a single mechanical issue other then regular wear and tear. thats reliability.

  • @CemetaryGatesML yeah i guess 

  • @CemetaryGatesML agree...i think american cars are well built mechanically (the part you dont really notice when driving the car) and german cars are asthetically well built, so most people notice the good build quality on a german car whereas with american cars they just go on forever

  • @CemetaryGatesML you sir, are a wise man

  • @CemetaryGatesML its not about speed buddy ;)!!!! its something called luxury and handling something that American motors lack in this business ;)

  • @diesel912 right.... luxury, have you been in that amg? theres nothing about then that says it should cost 50-60K more. matter of fact it wasent much more luxurious then one of these jeeps. yea they look a bit better, but i'll take a less of a luxury car and put that money in my pocket or a sports car.

    and handling, this amg doest fair well much either again i dont feel a 50K advantage.

    and they dont lack luxury and handling, you get what you pay for, lets see how a 35k benz suv performs.

  • @CemetaryGatesML its about german engineering and passion.. you dont get that on American cars...

    Sorry but its the truth. PS why do you have ML at the end of your username ? O.o

  • @kingnadz no you get american engineering and passion with american cars, somthing you dont get with german cars... because they feel like they have no character to them. no brutrality, just clean and quite.

    my user name: CemetaryGates is a Song by- Pantera.... one of the worlds greatest guitarists played in that band, DimeBag Darrell... his Famous guitar he always used the Dean "ML" witch is also the same guitar i personally own. ( his signature edition model )

    if ur wondering...

  • @CemetaryGatesML LOL OK SORRY GODFATHER XD

  • @CemetaryGatesML thats the dumbest thing i've heard, clean and quiet??? i have s55 amg ml 63 amg and they are nothing about quiet. yeah they are very clean. did you know all amg's are hand built by one tech and he stamps his name on the heads of the engine? an 03 s55 amg is 502hp 519ft/b of torque, how is that quiet? its a four door sedan thats an absolute beast on the highway, and it gets 28mpg cruising. you get what you pay for.

  • @784plb and yea dude your ML is quite, compaired to other american cars that make 500hp. ur ML just like audi's and Bmw that make big hp, they dont sound like it.... really its all lost in the exaust, but damn,... my buddy has a M5 and it sounds like a 4cyl when its crusing and startup :P

  • and american passion in automotive is a thing of the past dude, its all assembly line work. they get a concept find the cheapest way to build it and go. mercedes amg's do not do that, the engines are crafted in one room by one guy only and tested until perfect. thats passion, with mercedes amg its about quality and what the customer wants. would you want an suv that runs 145mph cruising? maybe, or a 4 door that will cruise at 150mph? try that in an american car lol

  • @784plb what can i say.... you get what you pay for, pay 100k for a suv expect the AMG cencept...

    pay 30k for a suv, expect the american concept, simple as that.

    americans do have thoes 145 mph suvs and cars... there no 80k audi or bmw... but they do exist.

    then again whats the point of a car like that? its rarae that i ever go over 100mph, let alone going for 150

  • @CemetaryGatesML Yeeeah, Yeeeeah. Think about the quality, mercedes engine is hand-built,unlike that shitty hemi in Jeep. LOL

  • @EvoPower2010 quality means nothing if its got poor reliability...

    just paid 2500$ on a Gibson Guitar, guess who just rocked the local bar with a 200$ ibanez guitar borrowed from a friend....

    same pricipal goes for cars, merc dont exactly have that great of a rep for reliabilty, tho there quality vehicles are top notch

  • @CemetaryGatesML But would the jeep, the replica and the boobs bring as much joy as real quality as the Mercedes? I doubt that. As the guy under you says, take an american car for 20-30 k and then you can take 20-30 k in the Merc, and you will feel the difference. I have sat in Mercs were the milage has been 150 000 kilometers, and it felt new, and i have been in new american cars and it felt used.

  • @2URBO2 what joy of the mercedies? luxury? speed and style all in one package?

    sorry no, i've driven my moms BMW 5series for a few years back when i was 16-18 before i got my first car, the feeling wears of quick. trust me. i enjoy my Xrunner wayy more then that bmw.

    my bud drives an older ML ( like an 05' somthing around there) the luxury etc... fells nothing special)

    and a used merc with 150K KM felt new to you? funny my buds merc has 170K on in and its broken down 2x ( head gasket)

  • @CemetaryGatesML Mercedes has been over the competitors in most areas.

    Bmw is not a quality car, they are good for some time, and then they wear.

    It's a reason Mercedes is the taxi car most used here in europe.

    Yes, that ML has an old feeling, but the one that came 1 year later is way better. You have been in 1 ML, and you think you know ML in total? Haha. What a way of looking at things.

    Your "bud" would be my first suspect. Not the car.

    Your arguments is as loose as water.

  • @2URBO2 yea...there is a reason there used in europe... how come the crown vic makes up 99% of taxi's in north america... though american cars arent supposed to be reliable... hmm

    you have claimed you've only been in 1 ML... as i have too. and it broken down, once to a head gasket,, and again to an electrical problem with the fuel pump, also the passager electronics for the seats dont work. like fuck, my old as 94 mustang ( first car) many years ago.... had power seats and still worked

  • @CemetaryGatesML Lets see, because the crown victoria is a cheap car!

    How many examples you got in total? 1? Jeez. Thats not even enough to prove me wrong.

  • @2URBO2 yes, and in europe you dont pay a permium for importing cars, thus making euro cars to also be cheap. ur failing to see the point of the crown vic, its not a matter of "cheap" its reliability...thats why 90% of the police force use them, and almost ALL taxis.

    hell TopGear when to some 2nd world contry and tested 2 high end sedans...funny joke they made at a cafe, that 80% of all the cars registered in that contry are old murcs, does that also make them cheap? cuz theres tones of them

  • @CemetaryGatesML Uh, no. Mercedes is expensive anywhere.

    GM has probably a contract with them, which makes the car market false. Here in europe, the car makers gotta make the market themselves, and see, the best brans are German, and ontop: M-B. No surprise when you think about who invented the automobile and the otto engine.

  • @CemetaryGatesML heres the prob gates- the srt will cost you out the door about 55k- it will last you 2 years because jeeps after 08 suck- the value of the srt8 will drop 2x faster then the Merc, within 4 yrs you will be praying for anyone to take the 8 off your hands- you will then drop another 35-45 on a another car- meanwhile, I would still have the Merc and it would be worth what you paid for the Shit RT8- OBTW- good luck taking the 8 off roading anywhere- by by brembo- You can in a Merc

  • @vaporeizied8 if your trying to say the murc is the better choice because it holds its value better, abd that you will need to replace the jeep in 4 years..... think about this...

    1st... 55k? no...not here anyway 40 max thats what im seeing for a new srt.

    2nd. im seeing the srtJeep selling for 25k ... as apose to AMG MLs selling for about 50k used.

    3rd. can everyone afford to buy a 100K car? given 100k that ML would be at the bottom of my list.

    offroading? in the AMG? hahhahaha LOL

  • @CemetaryGatesML -lol hell no they cant afford it, but the new 12 srt will be over 50k you cant get it for 40 impossible- i would never buy a used 8 simply because it would be trashed and doubt most took care of it for the first 2 yrs- and off roading, yea the small gravel parking lot that you pull into to get cigs and beer LOL LOL

  • @vaporeizied8 yes, a brand new 12' srt8 will be around 50, and a new Ml will be 100.

    i'd still ather take the jeep, dress it up, and buy a shelby cobra clone ;)

    then go home and stare at my Gf's trophy rack if u know what i mean ;P

  • @CemetaryGatesML if its a 06-10 model yes- the new 12, just doesnt cut it, such a let down- but yes I do agree, even for 1/2 the price there is so much you can do with S8 before you get to the 63 price range- now thumbs about the rack! INDEED MY BROTHA INDEED

  • 13 s to catch up .... cool srt8 stock ????

  • instead of making the engine larger, why wouldnt you make it more efficient?

    

  • I dont think the ML won, the Jeep clearly backs off after about 9 or 10 seconds on the power, hence he broke 100mph, and thought - proven his point.

    It could be possible the ML would be better from 100 to the 155 limiter as ML has a 7 speed transmission which in theory will mean closer ratios and better high end acceleration.

    But honestly, it's clear off the line and beyond 60mph, the Jeep hammered the Merc.

  • Even though the Benz won, I think they were surprised it raped them off the line. SRT-8 you are King.

  • AMG BITCH!

  • the mL has more power

  • @MrSinghsays Yep... BIG mistake. That's WAY cheap.

  • hey ml u want me to bring the sleep monster the srt600 7.0 or what ?

  • SRT-8 stock 08 =/ =====> SRT-8 2010 supercharged 0-60 : 2.6s 1/4mile: 7.80@143mph

  • AMG <3

  • MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMLLLLLLLLLLL­LLL

  • MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMLLLLLLLLLLL­

  • I prefer a ML 280 CDI than this ugly jeep

  • I'd like to see the Jeep, Cayenne Turbo, and the ML63 square off against each other. It really doesn't matter because I'd rather drive the Jeep any day instead of these almost $100K SUVs.

  • the 1/4 mile was done over by the time the benz caught up.

  • The end was trouble !

  • nothing out launches the srt8

  • @ddog0804 evotech x5M beemer at 630HP does or the tuned mercedez g55 at 650HP. The tuned g55 is scary fast for a g wagon, and has great traction, but I wouldn't feel safe in any of these cars... but nothing I've seen seems to beat the brabus moded glk 350 v12 at 750HP.

  • Its not fair 

  • мерс хуйня

    Jeep SRT8 самый быстрый из джыпов

  • The grand Cherokee and Mercedes ML are very closely related...

  • fuck american cars EU BEST

  • SRT8 STiLL BETTER lol

  • @xLE4TH3RF4C3x

    no way ;)

  • @samsonator  YES WAY xD

  • I love the srt8 even a car worth buying but when it comes to videos where they display this vehicle racing and beating other cars its almost like you wnana tell the driver to switch from awd to 2 wheel drive if your gonna race a rwd drive try to mae it fair because the srt8 all it has is that launch off te line without that it wold be beaten by most cars today. against the stock r35 gtr first model it can't outrun it even with awd on imagine if it was turned off lol

  • @steven4rmnewyork The AWD cant be turned off with a switch. It is AWD not 4x4

  • @zachattack83 I know what the fck it is just saying the awd system allows this car to jump out the hole otherwise youd prob sit there and spin if you gunned it in 2wd and srt8 owners know that

  • @steven4rmnewyork srt8s can't outrun r35s. they might be able to out-launch them, but after 60mph a gtr will easily pull on one especially stock for stock

  • Aside from the fact that the Jeep tore the MB out of the hole, the Jeep had the advantage the entire time. The only time the MB caught up is probably when the Jeep let off the gas and then the video cuts out.

  • MADE IN GERMANY.....say no more ;)

  • @allenamenwaren ML GL & R class are all made in USA... MB still FTW! Interior, name MERCEDES-BENZ whats a JEEP?!

  • @5865500 they are all made in USA, but they are all the results of german mindset

  • @allenamenwaren and then there's those who drive'em another sets of mindset

  • are u serious y even waste time to something the jeep is going to lose to ugh dumbasses

  • sick car

    

  • What a sick launch from the SRT!

  • this plastic shit helps with brakes on the start.MB is the best

  • GO JEEP SRT8

  • Jeep makes it , Hemi shakes it.

  • Americans car shit

  • jesus i wasnt expecting that launch from the jeep haha!

  • you could have close the window...STUPID MAN!

  • løl_ï_fÊÊl_só_lÕnèly_tØÐÃÿ

  • thats good for a 40000$ car

  • @dubworldo which of these cost 40000?? they are both more expensive i think

  • @Playa1sweet the SRT used to be in 2009 less then 45 , am not sure huw much is it now

  • @Playa1sweet The jeep's only 40,000. The AMG is probably around 100,000.

  • @yourmom794 Sure is, and I would take the ML 63 AMG over the Jeep any day. One of my dad's business partners leased one over the past two years and it was an excellent car. Especially the interior, MB has really improved over the past 5 years.

  • @JohnSlonakiller Oh yeah. Who wouldn't?! That'd definitely be my first choice of SUV of any kind. I bet it was extremely nice.

  • jeep win.

  • 6.3 is the best

  • @bil659 IT is a 6.2 but.....

  • @bil659

    you know what funny is its a 6.2 AMG not 6.3 thats how shit a AMG is

  • @bil659 6.5 is better

  • @bil659 except that the 63 amg's all have 6.2 liter motors . . .

  • @lucasorelious 6208CC, ML 62 sounds stupid, they call it a ML 63

  • @Josh1223334444 who says ml(or whatever line) 62 is stupid, at least its truthful. instead they " pay homage" to the past using a previous designation. sorta like my mustang, they call it a "5.0" when its really a 4.943 which, as we ALL know, rounds down. but they couldn't call it a 4.9 cuz they already made a 4.9 6 cylinder yadayada blah be deee blah I wasn't even talkin to you fuckface whatchu want?

  • @lucasorelious I was just saying that they called it 63 instead of 62 because it sounds much better. It flows. Say it outloud, and see for yourself...

  • ppl fightin on the net lool FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT LMAO!!!

  • 6.1 against 6.3 hmmm

  • ML is the best!

  • Hey look! people arguing on the internet!

  • my x5m would have fun with both these ladies

  • dam out the bed that jeep put a nice gap AMG had the top end

  • Loooooool... There is no trade balance for the USA? Omg. how can you say that? Dude seems like you are on a totally other planet, funny you even bother writing comments in here whith such point of views.. Off course if you can call you arguments for points :D

  • Thats not true.. If you buy a car from a foreign country you boost the import of the trade-balance.. I could write much more about all the economic advantages it also brings, but don't wanna waste my time on lecturing you, read some Micro/Macro economics before you talk shit FKN

  • @lopozom

    Here's some micro info for you, Lecturer. There is no trade balance for the USA.  We are the world's largest importer. If we could export some morons like you, it would help.

  • If you are an American and do not purchase American cars, don't complain about the economy, unemployment, the financial crisis and devaluation of the American dollar because you are part of the problem. Hope these facts make you feel better about driving your foreign car which is making a foreign country stronger at the expense of America. If you are an American, don't try to defend buying a foreign made car, it's indefensible and you are nonsensable.

  • @FKN427 Aren't All Ford engines built in Mexico...and Camrys built in Tennesse?There is no such thing these days as a homogenous American or Foreign car.Chrysler builds its 300c and Grand cherokee from Mercedes platforms,Dodge used Mitsubishi engines in its Eagle Talon,Gmc built an american version of the Toyota corolla,called the Geo Metro,Pontiac solstice which is actually an Opel...get my drift

  • @FKN427 The sooner you embrace globalization the easier it will be for you to understand how global car companies work

  • @originaldelta

    The sooner you embrace the significance of sending profits to a foreign based company for the biggest total dollar commodity purchases made by most American citizens, you will understand the importance of keeping those profits in America.

  • @FKN4 I take it that you believe that Protectionism is the future.Guess what,if the US was to lock its doors to Mexico or any other foreign countries,these co called "american" goods would be unaffordable and out of reach of most middle class folks,getting the parts for its cars from Mexico has helped Ford and other domestic producers keep costs down.

  • @originaldelta "getting the parts from mexico" thats exactly were america fucked up on his car production.. 2 most important... most breakdowns and no handling... the engines on american cars are good for the first year only because very big engines with alot of liters... then after a year... it gives up....

  • I watched this because I'm considering buying a Jeep SRT8 and I was definitely rooting for this one to win... but I have to say this looks like a win for the ML to me. When 2 cars are evenly matched and one gets the jump like this jeep did, it should continue to pull away but the ML reeled it in... Either way my Veyron would destroy both of these ;-)

  • Similar displacement and big difference in performance but you cant ignore the price difference

  • That Jeep tree'd the shit outta him though

  • @westboundcali Its cause the srt 8 is awd. They have a insane launch. I have a audi a4 2.8 quattro and i can launch it hard all day long in the rain.
