The blower whine has to be the coolest part. I'd never stop blipping to hear that. Love this monster! Watching you during the launch control is priceless. Like a kid riding his mattress into outer space lmfao.
Personally I think it's a iconic SUV that shows how far the automotive companies have come with technology and power..! Also great video demonstration for showing us what it is capable of.
It'd be nice to understand what beefed up transmission means. I find most auto journos skip over the details there. I assume more durable parts but it'd be nice to get more detail.
I think the Hughes Transmissions YT channel has some information on that stuff. Not related to these new transmissions, but still might be some valuable information
after hearing you mention what the jeep must sound like coming from a half mile away I cant help but think that would be a really cool shot to have in the just the noise videos! A long clip of any loud car coming in the distance leading to a flyby. Would be killer for loud blower cars or any high revving motor ect ect. Loved this review!!
@@berto928 LOL. You can get this same package from an reputable company for 1/4 of the price. That gives you a LOT of money left over if anything breaks. I can tell you that the jeep is not going to break $30k worth of parts in one year if built by someone reputable. Hennessy's customers know nothing about cars. All they have is money. If they knew ANYTHING about automobiles, they would know that they were getting ripped off. Hennessy has good advertising and makes it easy for the customer by having an all inclusive package. You can purchase a new vehicle, and before you even take delivery of it, it will get the Hennessy treatment. Then, you'll be taking delivery of a brand new modified high hp vehicle. IMO, that's smart....but he's also robbing people (wealthy people who know nothing about cars) by charging the customer 4 times more than what they should be charging them. He's still succeeding at it unfortunately. There's enough dumb wealthy people out there that will let Hennessy rip them off.
@@WatchMeBURNFuel you nailed it. Once you've heard about John and the shit that he pulls, if you look into it even the slightest amount, its undeniable the guy is a p.o.s.

These mopar engines are super stout. All you do to get this power really is a smaller pulley and a tune. It really isn't that much work to unlock big hp in a big displacement V8
@@ZackZweifel so bro there are two engines 1. Engine A: 910 lb ft of torque at 1600 rpm 2. Engine B: 910 lb fr of torque at 3000 rpm So bro which is better? I mean what characteristics do they tell? I know this high reving engine has more hp less torque and low reving engine has low hp and higher torque But now as the torque is same and rpms are different what to choose?
@@ZackZweifel so it means if I'm looking for high torque engine so I should go for low reving engine but why is better? I mean both of the engines have same torque but different rpms so why go for the one with low rpm why not the one with high rpm?
@@donwarner6925 its not funny. Not even one bit. Considering that all tree-huggers are proven delusional idiots, why ever give them any ammo or even acknowledge them at all? If it were up to them, they'd outlaw gas-powered cars tomorrow. It was an idiotic thing to say.
@@Loothansa the thing is that I was comparing this with Duramax L5P. Duramax have 910 lb ft of torque at a lower RPM compared to this so I thought which is better
I mean what do you expect from a highly modified vehicle? I think covering it for 12k miles after cranking it up to 1000hp is pretty good. When you modify the car yourself, you get 0 mile warranty.
This is a JEEP that's got near Veyon levels of acceleration and power. Heck if the Veyon driver isn't on point this thing could beat it. Never would have thought something like this would be a thing and I love it!

I love American cars right now. It's everything good about muscle cars - the noise, v8 engines and tons of power, but now mixed with actual good cars. You can get your American v8 in your choice of power and in everything from a mid-engine DCT sports car (corvette) a pony car with a flat-plane crank and an iconic nameplate (shelby), one of the best handling FR chassis in the business (camaro), a true retro muscle car (challanger), to a usable, reasonably nice SUV. Love it.
@@RK1FX Back in tha 20s when America prohibited alcohol people would illegally transport illegally produced homemade liquor (moonshine) to underground bars called 'speakeasies' for (illegal) sale. They would do this in tha cover of night and tuned their cars to be as fast as possible to do their jobs quickly and evade tha authorities if need be. That is what moonshine running is. Also serves as tha origin of nascar/stock car racing, as tha cars these moonshine runners would drive were literally just stock everyday cars that were tuned.
I know Eaton has worked miracles with the TVS and that the 2.65 outdoes the Whipple 2.9 for horsepower, but the engineer in me cringes at replacing a twin screw with a Roots. For 1000 HP, I'd prefer to start with the Redeye blower or the 3.0 from the Hellephant. I'm sure that isn't cheap, but neither is Hennessey.
@@and003 it's impossible to say. Anyone who claims to know in reality does not. It's possible they are trying to rebuild their image. I wouldn't give them the benefit of the doubt unless they publicly acknowledged their past malfeasances
I finally saw a trackhawk this past wednesday in NH..it was white.. I could tell it was something srt ish from afar til i drove by it looked at the TH on the back...certainly didnt look like it was holding all that power..pretty sleek i must say
Pro tip for my car bros (and Matt): Don't worry too much about the pollution your car produces. Animal agriculture produces more greenhouse gasses, water pollution, ocean deadzones and more, than all the cars, ships, planes, trains etc in the world combined (so says the UN and major universities). So on average, you'd do better for the environment by changing your diet than changing your car. Drive a Jeep Track Cock, eat some lentils, be happy.
@@danyockey1230 It's okay, t-bones and Jeeps you can't drive will kill off your kind much sooner. - Proud long time soyboy here, that soy helped my gains - at 240lbs and stronger than ever.
$45000 for a bunch of bolt ons... may as well bolt on a couple turbos for a fraction of the price, save the couple hundred HP the motor puts out to power the blower. You could literally have 1000 WHP for the same amount of engine stress with turbos. Also it will be more environmentally friendly 😉
The ideal car! Good to be able to go offroad too, have a lot of space inside, and it's not too expensive. And SUV's need a lot of power, with their huge surface area and weight
I think that is really an HPE 850 with just pulley, tune, intake and exhaust. The supercharger in the video looks stock. Unless HPE is now using Demon/Redeye 2.6L blower...which I doubt.
If your environmentally conscious get a Tesla the speed is there but the Jeep has the sound performance speed decisions decisions there’s no real need for one ☝️ but I bet there a hell of a lot of fun 🤹♂️
Jeep Grand Cherokee TrackHawk is not a sleeper. It's known to be very fast from factory even if its tuned and modded. If it was a basic lower trim model or a Wrangler with the TrackHawk drivetrain, then yes that's a sleeper after putting an electric exhaust cutout to quiet down the noise a bit to give it away. But other than that, good video.
I dont know. If I had this car and spent over 6 figures I'd want it to look like a $15,000 V6 Grand Cherokee to most people. I gotta have a little flex
With all that torque I'd 'downgrade' the axels from 3.70:1 to something like 3.36:1, and if gas mileage at high speeds is a concern, I'd go farther to a 3.08:1 ratio
You drive it, til you have no brakes... Definitely much needed upgrade for all of that extra HP and weight. Mushy brakes is a great way to break something...
Idk man 8mpg is too much. I mean flames aren't even coming out the back. I think if they get it down to 5mpg and put some bigger brakes on I'll consider it.
The fly by sound of the blower and exhaust together is magical. It’s a mechanical symphony.
First thing I’d do in one of these is sign up for Uber and blow some people’s minds
I like the straight pipes name for it "Hellhawk" seems more appropriate
Lol
