What should i take? it's an 18.5 hour drive... almost 1200 miles one way. the trip will be started in the middle of march.. and i'll be returning the middle of may.
.
specs.
06 KJ 3.7 6 speed. 54,000 miles Frankenlifted with 4.10's and detroit in the rear. has been wheeled hard. Recently changed both front CV's, intermediate shaft, front driveshaft, rad, coolant, oil, rad hoses. has almost new BFG KM2's (265/75/16's).. takes regular gas and gets about 20mpg highway 16 city. I carry a full size spare and a lot of tools as well as 'what if' items... pretty much everything to fix anything on my jeep. The jeep drives perfect with no shakes, shimmys, or pulls.. smooth as glass. I've owned the jeep since it was new.
04 Pontiac GTO 5.7 L V8 6 speed, 60,000 miles. Recently changed, idler pully, water pump, rad hoses, thermostat, coolant, oil, new tires (high performance summer tires). has headers, catless exhaust, cold air intake, and tune. Has a donut for a spare.. no tools or 'what if' items. Takes premium gas but gets 24mpg highway 18 city. The GTO drives perfect with no shakes, shimmys, or pulls.. smooth as glass. bought the GTO wrecked and then fixed it.. have since put 12k miles on it.
online gas calculator says it will be about $60 cheaper to take the GTO even with premium gas.
GTO is more 'fun' to drive.. but has less room inside.. and is not very good in heavy rain.. almost undriveable in snow/ice. The seats are 100x more comfortable then the jeeps. its effortless to drive.
Jeep is a brick crap house.. unphased by any weather.. but does sail like boat in wind. most expensive even with cheap gas. No slouching seat position is more like a chair and pretty nice for a really long trip.
