Another Example of when a Jeep is NOT a Jeep

Pamela,

I have another answer to your Jeep question - when it is a SCCA autocross E Modified Jeep.

Here is its story of the initial build and first (of several) upgrades -

Wickedly fast at 1,800 lbs and 0 to 85, in one gear on grippy concrete, in 3.1 seconds.

Enjoy,

Jim

Because I rent it we call it the "Insane Rental Jeep". This comes from a notice placed in front of the gear shift: "Insanity has replaced reason in the design and build of this vehicle." The Jeep has one purpose - to win the SCCA Solo Nationals at Lincoln Airpark, Nebraska held in September for a whole week with over 1,300 entries from all over the country. More about solo/autocross can be found here - https://www.scca.com/pages/autocross . Enjoy!
