    Tony took Dean, Tom and I for a ride in the H2 on Sunday. I had no idea Hummers could fly like this, not bad for a 6,500 lbs car with 4 dudes in it. Btw, the picture below was taken slowing down... Didn't really feel like 120mph in the cockpit though :cool:

    Sorry guys but what's the big deal? I also did 120mph on my moms Dodge Caravan stock 3.3 Ltr. 168k miles on the odo with 6 people in it, not once, not twice, but several times and still runs smooth and strong.

    Surprisingly, no... RPMs were still pretty low ;-)

    When I saw "H2", I got all excited, thinking I was going to see a Kawasaki 750cc, two stroke, three cylinder bike in action...

    120mph in a hummer on public roads might not be the safest thing to do...

    Agreed, I did that in a diesel Rabbit...........

    It's not getting up to that speed that's a big deal. It's stopping........

    My 4runner can do triple digits below 3k rpm, even with a 4 speed. But 120 at 1900rpm does sound fishy.

    Hahahaha, yep, 118mph @ 1,900 RPM, because:
    A. T just installed twin turbo allowing to keep RPMs really low
    B. T had just put the car in idle and RPMs/speed were dropping
    C. The speedometer needs calibration and is showing 2x the real speed

    Ok, I give it up, it's C... It was hilarious to be driving 60mph when the speedometer was indicating 120mph. Having said that, I am not sure a Hummer can reach that speed... I guess, we'll have to do the test for real!!

    Immature, stupid, and unsafe.

    Stop driving on the roads I have to drive on.

    Not sure why, maybe a calibration issue or sensor. I wonder if the mileage is different too...

    Me too! The original "crotch rocket". I had a '71 H1, scary fast but probably the worst handling bike ever made.

    LOL tony! I know the reason why the speedo is wrong... You pimped your ride in preparation for the MTV Cribs show they're doing on you but the 30 inch dubs ain't working cuz that will be a plus 12! :D
