    Sue if you want both power and towing capacity then find your self into a 5.7L hemi Grand cherokee overland.

    Is powerfull enough to tow any thing ( 390HP ) offroad capable with towing package....DONE DEAL !!!

    That towing hitch on the SRT8 looks completely awfull
    Dakar was just the begining.

    All wheel drive, suspension automatically lifts on rough roads, built for group b rally racing, and plenty fast...won't pull your trailer though
    it's not the "raising" I'm after…it's the LOWERING!
    Saw one of these beasts just once on a freeway in Florida…..since I'm a tradtional 911 style lover…it looked a bit weird…but hey it's only, um, what? $950,000 IIRC?... so if somebody gave it to me I wouldn't say no...

    One friend has that 5.7 and another has the big Hemi Commander…(both back in TX)…..don't like the looks of the Commander at all, and the GCOverland is cool…but just not floating my boat.

    I also saw and sat in an Acura MDX on the used lot….I've always been a little partial to Acura ever since I had my awesome '91 Legend Coupe, lowered, rims, engine tweeks….ah…fond memories in L.A. I was surprised it was pretty dang nice….if they could just spice it up…..hmmmm…may be cheaper to get one of them used, then spend some coin on performance chip, wheels/rubber maybe, etc….Have to think on that one for a while.
    Anybody hear/know if Acura is planning any S-type cars in the near future?

    um…guessin' that's B-cuz I don't have a gazzilions dollars!


    Thanks to all, please keep the ideas coming, really appreciate other ideas…..
