i like how the cayenne s was just used, try the king , (cayenne turbo s )
it will beat the jeep in all ways..the jeep is like any american "fast car" fast in a straight line only ...like a viper lol.
Cayanne S? Those stats are for the Turbo S. Weight and poor power band kill performance, thus the Cayanne isn't that quick. The turbo S is a terd off the line and between gears.

Also the Jeep took first place in One Lap of America in the SUV division. The Viper also holds several records so I wouldn't say it only goes in a straight line. The problem with American cars is they have tight/ short gearing with lots of low-end torque on typically rear biased cars. On the street they love to oversteer, yet get them on the track and they will often do great.

I hate to sound like an American car fan especially when I own 8 German cars, 1 Japanesse car and 1 Amercian car, however, sometimes we need to set aside out bias and actually test one in in real life.
