Wow






Note to self, do not do this....

I mean... the 3.6 Pentastar is somewhat gutless at low RPM. Gotta really rev it to make good power. So 50k RPM should give you Hellcat level power.....right? 🤯

Should not drink & drive or tow

This reminds me that, you can not fix stupid.

It’s definitely ready for a 392 conversion!

How could they even move the jeep while it was locked in 1st gear and low range. It would feel like driving with the brakes on.

There is no way in hell it achieved 55K rpm under these circumstances. The tires woud be flat in short time because they sure in hell wouldn't roll. Something is wrong with this story.

I'm sure it blew up way before highway speeds were achieved, then it suddenly got a lot easier to tow! 🤔🤣

The 50k RPM thing was just them calculating how high it would theoretically have to rev at that speed.

Yay Math!
