What a Ride!

The sun is coming up on Daytona Beach and I get handed the keys to one the baddest supercharged vehicles I have ever seen.  It is black on black and with the rising sun glinting of the morning dew it looks menacing. I hit the unlock button and slide into the seat as I look around the cockpit a huge smile comes across face as I notice the stick shift. Push in the clutch, turn the key, the engine instantly comes to life, and the rumble from exhaust interrupts the morning silence. It sounds as good as it looks.

Idling from the parking lot to Atlantic Avenue I look left and then right there is no traffic to be seen. I feel like Christmas morning when I let the clutch out and motor out onto the road. I let the RPM’s rise and shift into 2^nd the lovely sound of the blow off valve as I switch gears. Throttle pushed to the floor as we head for third torque pushing me back into the seat. Moving through the gears faster and faster. Then that panic mood when I realize I am doing 70 mph in a 35. Slow down and enjoy the ride out to the one of the most famous race tracks in the country, Daytona Speedway. Home of the famous Daytona 500 and hundreds of other famous speed related events. The best thing about driving there is going through the tunnel to get to the infield. Everyone know what coming next. Push in the clutch rev the engine up and listen to the great echo, supercharger whine, blow off valve, and exhaust vibrate off the tunnel walls.

 

Parking the vehicle into our vendor space you may be asking yourself what it is I am driving. I am sure most of you are thinking Mustang GT 500, Corvette ZL1, Cadillac CTS-V, or perhaps even a supercharged SRT8 Challenger. In reality it was a RIPP Supercharge 2012 Jeep Wrangler. A vehicle with 37 inch tires, tires taller than most of the muscle cars I mentioned, shouldn’t be this fun to drive. This Wrangler makes 325 WHP and has all the cool features of a lift kit and enough LED lights to blind the sun. 

DiabloSport makes it all possible with our tuners, Trinity and inTune, and our custom tuning software, CMR. Without our tuners to give you back all the extra power you lost when you added your bigger tires and lift kit taking your Jeep off-road is not near as fun. Not to mention without the Custom Tuning Software no power adder is able to be added to your Jeep. That means no supercharges, turbos, or even long tube headers.
