I would be interested how fast you can go up the Gorgetown hill west of Denver. When I lived in Denver that was the test. A Porsche will do a 130 while a Wrangler will be lucky to maintain 60.

I'll post my trip info on the return. That hill sounds familiar, my biggest problems in the Jeep were the climb to Eisenhower tunnel and the next one; Vail I believe. Strange thing was, even though the Jeep was redlining, I was still passing other cars.
