You answered the question with the sound of the exhaust at the intro. Looks and sounds amazing

I’ve got a 2017 right hand drive Jeep SRT back here in the Uk 🇬🇧 and it’s been my daily driver for 2 years. 100% agree with your comments. I’ve hit 4.1 secs 0-60 just after full dealer service with 99 octane premium petrol. The 8 speed ZF gearbox (by Mercedes Benz) is rapid changing in track mode. The 6.4 L HEMI rumbles and sings. Best car I’ve had and extremely great value for money compared to equivalent Range Rovers, Jaguars and German rivals. Just love the sound of the V8!

[@driversanonymousNYC]

Love it! Happy to connect with a UK SRT owner! Completely agree with your comment. Its really hard to beat the rawness of this car especially considering what’s available on the street right now. Last spring my wife and I were in Scotland and right hand driving was so hard lol

[@Louis-SRT6.4L]

It’s funny, I’ve driven in the US several times (Evansville, Hartsviille, Louisville, Chicago) and at first struggled with automatic cars and driving left hand drive cars on what we consider the wrong side of the road. That’s how a got hooked on your V8’s 😊

[@driversanonymousNYC]

That is awesome!

Insurance in UK must be unreal for an SRT that and Fuel is costing what 10k a year?

[@Louis-SRT6.4L]

@@Kiwi_Dave insurance is good as it’s related driver’s age, claims history, area and mileage etc…. Fuel bill is determined by driving style and mileage. I don’t smoke, don’t gamble, don’t drink but love driving cars, especially very special ones like the Jeep SRT. It’s all about choices and priorities that make you happy

[@jerrygillie8511]

man you hit it right on the nail. I'm quite a bit older but you have the same opinions and feeling as I. This may be one of my favorite videos. I have an SRT also and it is a blast to enjoy.I was in a Ram 1500 and when I found this SRT I knew it was now time to say the hell with the gas milage and from what I understand Jeep is not producing the V8 for 2024. So Im glad there are guys like you out there wanting to keep the dream alive.

[@driversanonymousNYC]

This comment makes me really happy man. I’m happy that the message resonated with you. I’m all about old school driving pleasure and just having a good time driving a cool car. Whatever brand/make/model it may be. Best of luck and joy to you and your SRT and THANK YOU so much for these words. They really mean a lot and make me want to make more videos like this ❤️

[@StevenDegregorio-h5v]

I went from a 1969 Camaro SS 396 to my 2020 SRT. I love the decision I made, and I agree, possibly the last of a dying breed! Great video, and as always, thx for keeping it real....

[@driversanonymousNYC]

Camaro NICE! My wife wants one of those for our future 4 car garage lol. How was that car? And I appreciate your feedback man :)

[@healthwealthcrypto2771]

Love the honest opinions man!

[@driversanonymousNYC]

I appreciate your comments and feedback!

[@mmafan72]

Look at adding a Hellcat or Melling high volume oil pump first. Try to stay ahead of the possible Hemi tick/lifter issue with the 6.4. Congratulations

[@driversanonymousNYC]

This is a such a good tip man! I appreciate it so much. Already ordering one for my SRT. So glad you are enjoying the content

[@Monty_McFly]

Im really in a pickle...I currently have a 2015 Jeep GC Altitude. Ive been wanting either a '20 or '21 SRT. Ive been looking at YT video reviews on SRTs for days. I really want one. Im just worried about running into problems and having to spend thousands of dollars in repairs.

[@driversanonymousNYC]

Thanks for comment man! That makes sense. I think if you are to get a used SRT, you absolutely need to make sure whomever you purchase from has all the service records so you know what was changed/what to expect. And yea, any car like this especially a high performance one will have maintenance issues that pop up here and there- its just par for the course on a car like this. I think that if at every oil change you do a look through on the entire car you shouldn’t have anything major surprise you. Or at least a trusted tech can tell you what to look for or what is starting to go on it. Best of luck in your decision. I do hope you make the jump - its an awesome and very fun car that brightens my day, every day

[@jggcsrt]

I like that mod list☑️☑️. Right now I just have the Corsa Extreme Catback. Due to my active lifestyle, I needed something that could do everything I demanded while maintaining a high fun factor. Its a beast in the snow, comfortable on road trips, a tow monster, etc.

[@driversanonymousNYC]

Word! I love how versatile and fun this car is. Really does everything for me that I need and then (alot of) some

[@jggcsrt]

[@FishMD]

1000%. Bought a Trackhawk a few months ago. The last of their kind

[@driversanonymousNYC]

Nice! How do you like the Trackhawk?

[@louispounds7486]

When did you buy the 2020? How many miles see on it?

[@driversanonymousNYC]

Got the car in April of 2020. Car has 13k miles

[@louispounds7486]

@@driversanonymousNYC wow, don’t drive much. I generally drive ~24,000 per year.

[@driversanonymousNYC]

I don’t. I split my commute with subway and the car but I plan on driving more :)

[@sey2s]

God bless you 🙏

[@driversanonymousNYC]

That is so nice man. Thank you so much and sending the same blessings to you ❤️

[@frankcassano8369]

Where in Jamaica Estates do you park that thing?😳

[@driversanonymousNYC]

Unfortunately need to pay for a covered spot lol

[@frankcassano8369]

I can imagine.

[@driversanonymousNYC]

It is what it is. Better that then coming back to scratched up bumpers

[@frankcassano8369]

Absolutely.

[@a-rod279]

Iam ready to buy a 2020 SRT with only 32k miles but I have a challenger T/A so iam not sure 🧐

[@driversanonymousNYC]

Gotta test drive it! Lol after you do you will know

[@planktonus]

That's what is all about? Driving a car???? How about having a family, how about the next generation, how about planting a tree , under which shadow you will never sit? We all different

[@driversanonymousNYC]

Thats a great perspective and something I will keep in mind and in heart. You are right. There is a lot more to life than driving a car. Thank you for viewing and for your insightful comment reminding me to stay focused on whats important in life ❤️

[@Isojlo]

Im thinking audi q8 prestige for my next car but jeep srt is neck and neck

[@driversanonymousNYC]

Drive the SRT while you are test driving all these. I can just imagine which one you will pick lol 🤓

[@jturner9773]

Currently own a 2018 jgc srt with 47,000 miles and absolutely love it however I am fully aware of the 6.4 mds issues as far as lifters and cam. I just hope that dreaded misfire code that usually indicates that issues is occurring stays far far away. So far it’s all grins and smiles.

[@driversanonymousNYC]

Eesh that scares me. I’ve been getting misfire codes after I tuned the car. Maybe once every 2-3 weeks. I asked my mechanic, he said it was no big deal bc of the temperature fluctuations we get here in NYC. It was especially bad during winter. I guess I should look deeper into it. Thank you for your input, truly. Have you had any maintenance items come up in your 47k miles?
