I am going to stop modding my 3rd gen for a jeep!
I was going to TRY to mate a 3.5VQ and 6 speed in my max with my approved bank loan but I love the 1997 Grand cherokee I have now and will be getting the 2004 Grand cherokee and I will start saving
HERES WHY: The jeep will come with a 6 speed manual and The only highpoint on the Jeep front for 2004 will be an ultra high performance Jeep Grand Cherokee "Sport" package featuring Chrysler's hot new 5.7 liter Hemi V8! The goal is to create a Jeep capable of stomping ANY vehicle on the road. Notice that I didn't say SUV, that's because the engineers have created a package that they believe will be able to whip a Mustang "R" or a Corvette.
With an estimated 353 horsepower and 353 lb. ft.of torque the new Hemi is definitely up to the task (in comparison, the LS1 V8 used in the Corvette puts out 345 hp and 350 lb. ft of torque).The Hemi will be mated to a high performance 6-speed manual transmission. It's all-wheel-drive system will use electronically controlled transfer case teamed with electronically controlled front and rear differentials.
To ensure that the hot rod Jeep has World class handling, the package will include "adaptive" suspension dampening (both for front-to-rear and /side-to-side control). The system should be similar to the ESP suspension currently available on Mercedes Benz cars. The Sport will ride on eighteen or nineteen inch wheels shod with performance rubber. I also expect to see an aero kit on the body. Like the 5.9 limited Grand Cherokees, the idea is to stir up excitement around the vehicle to get it through its last couple years of production.

I will have my 3rd gen intill it dies because I love it but new nissan are ugly to me exterior wise but interior is nice. If they made the skyline or a 3rd gen body style max with 255 hp then I would buy it.
In my eyes nissan is going downhill
