stock VX compared to a stock Wrangler:
I've always thought the VX was much better @ being "dual-sport". In other words...I think neither dominates the other off-road and the Wrangler gets oodles of aftermarket support which we lack big-time....but; when comparing on-road performance (stock vehicles)....I think the VX blows the Wrangler away in on-road performance.
Personally....my VX has dealt major defeats to overly aggressive jeep drivers during daily on-road driving adventures. I never start anything but I love coming out on top...lol. Just ask the last H3 Alpha owner that ended up being my biotch! After losing his attempt @ passing me he rode my tail in a feeble attempt to intimidate...lol.
There is a casino I pass by every day going home from work. I'm almost always in the proper lane unless that lane is lead by a garbage truck or semi truck which are tediously slow. That is the only time I get in the improper lane to get around a slow garbage truck as I'll have to follow it for like 11 miles if I don't. When I'm in the proper lane first @ the red light; it never fails that someone pulls up in the improper lane and plans on passing me and pulling into my lane ahead of me. Funny, they don't ever get that aggressive when I'm in my Mustang GT as they wait for me to pull ahead then crossover and tuck in behind. But, it's like they assume the VX won't beat them & they are almost always wrong! It's like a 1/8 mile drag race with a sharp left turn thrown in for good measure. No Jeeps have ever slayed my VX. I've really only lost a few and those were when my VX was ailing and needed new intake gaskets & stuff. I just have to watch that I don't get a ticket!
