Not necessarily IMO. With some minor suspension mods and offset 60 Series tires/wheels, my Jeep had a very wide stance. Cornering went up by leaps and bounds. Plus Cherokees only weight about 3000lbs. Considering my vette weighs 3400, this always bothered me! LOL My Grand Cherokees weighed about 3750. Last night, I just found where VX's top the scales around 3900lbs! WTF! How is it that heavy? Isn't is smaller than a Grand Cherokee?

Consider power-to-weight ratio (since the 4.0L is similar to the 3.5L in power) by looking at a weight difference of almost 1000lbs, it doesn't sound like a VX could "keep up". IOW, I bet a Jeep would run circles aroung a VX on the street. (Make sure you understand I'm not criticizing the VX here, just pointing out the obvious difference -- on paper).
