Here in Russia we have gone our argument, who is faster stock 5.9 or 4.7 НО Overland. Try to hold the spring races, it is winter and very slippery on the roads. So while I want to ask you who are all the same in reality faster? the characteristics of 5.9 and 4.7 but travels fast ....

Welcome to the forum, Vitaliy! I think it all depends on traction and the driver. The cars are pretty well matched. The 5.9 has a lot of low speed torque, the 4.7 needs to be spun up to get the power.

I am also glad to talk! That is, no one to drive? in reality? In Moscow, I was riding on his 5.9 with BMW 4.4 from him I'm going through the torque of up to 150 kilometers after that difficult. My grand father in 2011 5.7 Hemi same situation as 80-90 kilometers per hour, I come then he starts to catch up with me. Generally speaking, all equally and with the Tuareg and Infinity.

The 5.9L ZJ had less HP= 245, but more TG =345 ft. lbs, and was slightly lighter. The WJ Overland,s 4.7L HO had 265-270 HP, and 325-330 ft. lbs of TQ. But the Overland had Trac-Loc axles front and rear, so it could do a better job planting that power to the ground, instead of spinning tires like the ZJ.
So, in my opinion, in the real world, the Overland would probably be the faster vehicle.

But I'd still rather have the ZJ 5.9L.

Maybe you're right about this, we will soon find out! I also prefer the 5.9 is a very cool car. Although the course will soon purchased herself SRT8)))) in Moscow is SRT cars and even power 700-1300 1700 horsepower. In May, there will be another championship. Called Moscow unlim 500 + can watch on YouTube
