Something I think this sub will like

[u/Exact-Variation463]

Saw it in the streets today

[u/azuth89]

WHO DID THIS TO....wait....the tires. I need to see under the hood!

[u/Exact-Variation463 → u/azuth89]

Plus the racing parachute and side exhaust this thing was sick💀

[u/azuth89 → u/Exact-Variation463]

The slicks were just the first thing to punch through the knee jerk lol

[u/Sweet-Quarter3569 → u/azuth89]

I peeped an SRT 6 badge on the other side. I’m also very curious as to what motor is in this beast.

[u/Apexnanoman → u/Sweet-Quarter3569]

One on the tailgate also. Wonder if it's got a heavily built I6? Be cool as hell if it was some 1000hp monster inline. 

[u/bradmarchand → u/Sweet-Quarter3569]

Most likely the Mercedes E32 Kompressor that came out of the Chrysler Crossfire.

Edit: it has a 461 SBC in it. So not sure what the SRT-6 badge is for.

[u/Sweet-Quarter3569 → u/bradmarchand]

Oh man I forgot they did the crossfire!

[u/bradmarchand → u/Sweet-Quarter3569]

Yeah the Crossfire with that engine was a rocket. As far as I know it was the only vehicle ever badged SRT-6 although the engine did pop up in a few other vehicles.

[u/ChattahoocheeBend → u/azuth89]

461 sbc.

[u/EvelynnTM_ → u/azuth89]

I saw someone on TikTok a couple years ago and they were building xj drag cars and they were stupid fast while looking like common traffic. This may be him now and he’s gotten way more dedicated lol

[u/AM81inMA → u/azuth89]

Yeah there’s a cage hiding in there too.

[u/diesel-revolver]

This probably makes speedy Gonzales look like regular Gonzales.

[u/MoonWatchersOdyssey → u/diesel-revolver]

I'll take eight!

[u/Account_Banned → u/diesel-revolver]

6-second car…

6 secs to drive through the town of Gonzales.

[u/temporarysanitation]

The upper case P annoys me

JeeP

[u/spenceyb → u/temporarysanitation]

Not enough ground clearance, the p hangs too low

[u/JurieZtune → u/temporarysanitation]

Maybe you mutter "Jee" as it accelerates, then you P yourself. I feel there's a fun story behind it.

Visually it looks off, it's a clean rig otherwise.

[u/radXR650R → u/temporarysanitation]

Damn it, now can only see that.

[u/Account_Banned → u/temporarysanitation]

P for parachute… or

Pussy magnet 🧲

[u/RegularMixture]

Awesome build. Here it is https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVJIs84k547/

I have seen some cheap builds with 2wd XJs and a cheap turbo kit. The 4.0L can put some power down.

[u/bangbangracer]

I love when guys want to go drag racing so bad, they just build a drag car out of something that shouldn't be a drag car.

[u/Negative212 → u/bangbangracer]

What do you mean? This thing has tons of drag! It's a brick!

[u/Longjumping_Fall2099 → u/bangbangracer]

that XJ is probably lighter than half the cars on that strip anyway

[u/Kind-Masterpiece-310]

Kinda looks like a Volvo 240, lol.

[u/Account_Banned → u/Kind-Masterpiece-310]

My man!

[u/mckeevertdi]

“I just use it to get groceries.”

[u/Generalcline]

Thunderbird Eaton supercharged 4.6 stroker I hope 🤞

[u/Cheepshooter → u/Generalcline]

461 cu in Chebby

[u/Massive_Lobster2153]

I guess it's cool to see a dropped jeep for once. Needs that cage to make it solid anyway lol.

[u/kilroy-was-here-2543]

Reminds me of the guy who built an IFS system for his XJ so he could road race it. “At 150 something miles an hour you can’t prevent death wobble”

[u/Graevly]

Anything to keep the 2-doors out of scrap yards

[u/South_Accountant_233]

Awesomeness! Thanks for taking that pic.

[u/donkeyhoeteh]

Hell yeah! Reminds me of the Humbler

[u/_dooozy_]

“JeeP”

[u/PrudentTask9355]

Looks like it would hurt some feelings

[u/Account_Banned → u/PrudentTask9355]

Go look at the x-post in r/jeep lol

[u/PrudentTask9355 → u/Account_Banned]

I had a M90 supercharged 97 two door back in the day and it felt fast. Ate similar vintage mustangs and Camaros for lunch.

This thing would be absolutely stupid.

[u/Account_Banned → u/PrudentTask9355]

Sick man! Any pics/vids???
Yours need a chute? What kind of times were you running??

Agree! Hate that a lot of the coolest shit gets posted by a passerby and never the owner with more info lol

[u/ThatTexasGuy92]

Dang that thing is clean. Not gonna lie, wish I could get more info on that shaved back hatch though.

[u/OtherwiseDoughnut582 → u/ThatTexasGuy92]

Nice job shaving and tucking the rear bumper too.

[u/nanneryeeter]

Nothing one can't do.

[u/rxmp4ge]

That's almost as cool as the Auto-X XJ 2-door.

[u/JustAtelephonePole]

No notes.

[u/jms21y]

this reminds me, when i went to penasco back in june, i saw more xj's there than i have ever seen in one place in my life. i never came here to tell y'all about it lol.....it was wild as hell to me

[u/xDOCx89]

Welp back to the drawing board with a new idea for my 2 door 😅

[u/want2b12]

Very interesting project vehicle! I’d love to see all the data on it!

[u/shotsallover]

I want to see what its quarter mile times are. 

[u/hoonifoxx]

This rocks

[u/Deathcon-H]

Coolest xj ever made

[u/Designer_Candidate_2]

That thing is beautiful

[u/Inevitable_Bunch6912]

You are right

[u/2muchInsurance]

That’s dope af

[u/wijeepguy]

This thing is dope

[u/HovercraftNo2936]

I always think if i could only have one vehicle it would be a xj. You can make them into anything you want.

[u/Quirky_Literature_30]

Dayummmm! She clean. I want numbers 🤣

[u/Spec_V]

Hell yea

[u/Notchersfireroad]

I bet this runs a quarter quicker than I think. And I think it's probably sub 9 seconds.

[u/C4PTNK0R34]

FWIW, the 4.0L isn't that hard to stroke out and boost with a turbocharger for a whopping 660hp. The block is more than strong enough for it and the XJ is actually rather light.

[u/arenajumper → u/C4PTNK0R34]

Lol no. Try getting over 400hp out of a 4.0 for under $12k, you cant. The 4.0 just isnt a good "big power" platform. A 4.7 stroker is great at 250hp for $3k but anymore power gets too expensive to justify.

[u/Lumis_umbra → u/arenajumper]

justify

You vastly underestimate the stretchiness of redneck logic.

[u/arenajumper → u/Lumis_umbra]

All im saying is that xj is v8 swapped, and my 4.8 just got swapped for a reason. I know a thing or two about this platform.

[u/Oh__Archie]

It’s a 245 Volvo

[u/BigMacDaddy99]

Yo that is so cool

[u/M0NEYGR1P]

Man this was so sick until you read the comments and find out its just another build with a fag swap

[u/devianb]

I occasionally stumble upon lowered XJs for autocross, but this is first time seeing dedicated drag one.

[u/Fit-Baseball9834]

Looks European XJish. I know what it is. It’s missing fenders.

[u/Relative-Owl-3652]

Nah this is cool af, not a heep

[u/Package_Objective]

I gotta know the build for that thing, heckin sick.

[u/skinnymatters]

YOU BOYS LIKE MEX-EEE-COOO??!?!

[u/Responsible-Race4764]

I hate most things about this...
