From what I've been reading here on the forums, it looks like these big heavy beasts are slow. Probably attributed to the 4:10 gears. Which suck anyway. Wish there was an option for 3:73. But really how slow are they?
I've had an '05 Escalade and the response was great. I'm getting weary about my H2 SUT purchase. What do you guys think?
I realize it's not the same vehicle, but damn the forums sure don't paint a pretty picture.

Seriously................
Since speed seems to be one of your major criteria for selecting a vehicle, why would you be interested in a H2?
However, it is good that you are researching the H2 via these forums prior to purchase....
Good luck with your decision making process.

My neighbor has one and I can tell you for a fact, that his son of a beotch is freakin fast...He has an exhaust up grade (can't tell what but it's definitely not stock) and he may have something under the hood too (can't hear a supercharger), but it hauls *** and he can break his tires loose on take off...Sooo..that's what I know..

You seem very apprehensive about purchasing a Hummer. Hummers are wonderful vehicles but they are not for everyone which is why you don't see tons of Hummers on the road like other vehicles (Toyota Camrys). Every one of us purchased our Hummers for different reasons, but I think we can all agree that there's a certain pride of ownership (so to speak) that we feel by owning such a unique vehicle. These vehicles may not be fast, but they are some of the safest vehicles on the road and they can go virtually anywhere. When the H3 came out there was absolutely no doubt in my mind that I was going to own one. I guess what I'm trying to say is just be sure that this vehicle is the one for you.

actually if you switched from 4.10 to 3.73, it would be even slower.
