Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

The H2 is not a slow truck! I kick my brothers ass all the time in his 95 Tahoe (non vorteck 350)its far lighter, his 96 Tahoe (vortec) will beat me though. With other trucks, I feel it hangs in there fine. If you have a rolling start, and it kicks down, you will move out pretty darn good! In the H3 loaners I've had, when you stomp it and it kicks down, it makes a lot of noise but dosen't seem to go anywhere. Who runs a full quater mile anyway? Its all about kicking it down and passing idiots to me.

I thing the v8 alpha H3 will be a great truck both on and off. I love over-powered vehicles. You will be able to spin through deep mud and power up steep, loose hills that weaker vehicles will just get bogged down on, and pass iditos (key!!!), older model H3's, H2's, and of course H1's.

I like you love having power. If you want a powerful truck get an H2 or wait for the H3 Alpha. Sorry guys but IMO the I5 (either version) just isnt powerful enough.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Damn... You must have gotten a V8 H3 early, because my piece of **** I-5 was a dog. My buddies named it the angry chipmonk because they swore that was what was under the hood...

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Maybe you just sucked as a driver? I mean... you did drive it into a lake and sunk it. :giggling:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Thank's, I was the nicest one on the lot. And the interior is a step up. When my wife saw the interior she said it was the only one she like and the rest were to plain.
:beerchug:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Yea man thats exactly happened when my parents swiched back form the h1 to the h2. My mom wouldnt let my dad get any other hummer. I love the special edition pacific blue h2, the carbon fiber is so nice inside. Nice truck man:D

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Pacific blue is verrrry cool! :iagree:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

I found that the desert sand H2 is faster than most of the pewter H2's.

It's much quicker than the black H3 too.

I'm sure it's the color though. Even though most Desert Sand H2's are wayyyyyyy cooler than their slower brothers, I have to go with the H2 for speed on this one. :popcorn:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

LOL

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

:beerchug: Yep... I gotta admit it... I screwed the pooch on that one!!!

Maybe I should keep my head low when discussing H3s, huh!?!

Oh well.... I'm safe now that I have the automatic release pontoon system on my H2!

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Math major were you? Word problems, I'm sure, provided quite the challenge...

And trying to get a 'feeling' for how fast a truck that isn't for sale yet...need I say more. Don't let mom and dad catch you sneaking into the bathroom with the Jerkins and the Hummer brochures! :twak:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

I was doing a little different driving in the H2 today... a lot of slow bastages to pass and now I have to say the H2 does kick the H3's ass, at least in the 40-90mph range. I'd be going 40, start to pass and end up at 90 in no time... twas very fun.

But I still say the H3 isn't underpowered, I never had a problem in it. The H2 is just more powerful.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Slow vs. slow. 90 in no time, yea compared to a Yugo.:fdance:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Still... it's the faster of the slow vehicles. :giggling:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Humdingah! look man you are an idiot! Become literate then read the post, Im speaking of the current h3. not the alpha! If you could comprehend English then this wouldnt be a problem. And my math isn't off, I want you to take a LONG walk off a SHORT pier! that means i want you to take a walk greater than 50feet(meaning more than since you didn't follow that the first time) off a pier that is 50 feet long! hopefully there will be some nice jagged rocks to catch you at the bottom. All you have relentlessly tried to do is belittle me. Tough guy! what a man you are! Teach me how :lame:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Thanks for clarifying this time. :giggling:
:jump:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Dude, don't get your panties in a bunch... Sheesh....

Just to clarify Mr. Russell-H3-Alpha, I think he is saying to walk 51 feet out on a 50 foot pier, then decend to maximum depth and remain there until further notification. Of course we all know if you do this in an H3, propellers will sprout out the wheel wells and you will be able to drive right out.

:jump:

Of course, it didn't work when I tried it, but It may work for you....:giggling:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Apparently I wasn't the only who wasn't able to follow your logic about the pier...but that doesn't come as a surprise.

Amazingly enough, marin8703 was able to find 0-60 times for not only the H2 and H3 but went so far as to provide 0-60 times for an H1 too...but since your dad 'had' one I'm sure you already knew what that time was. And, after perusing all of your posts, not once did you differentiate between the H3 and the H3 Alpha. Lastly, as several have mentioned, basing a purchase decision on what full-time 4WD vehicle is minutely faster is ridiculous. And correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you just go down to a Hummer dealer and test drive the H2 and H3 for yourself...or are you too young to have a driver's license?

Out of lotion yet?

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

:OWNED:

Now that's funny! :giggling:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

geez, guys come on. even though his wording was very poor it was still very understandable.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

But he breezed through 'kollege'...

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Damn, all this time and I did not realize that there was an H3, I just assumed they were a new style of Jeep Cherokee Laredos:giggling:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Im 20 I have a drivers lisence. Because you were so much help I did go drive one again today, over at reeves hummer. Believe me or not that my family has owned many hummers, you are nothing to me, And I dont care who you think I am. I dont have to go on a forum and make masturbation jokes to seem cool/tough. How old are you buddy like 30, 40, 50? wouldnt know cause your profile doesn't tell me. Im not going to lower myself to your level but man get over yourself, grow a pair, and get a life. oh and thats the last time I will waste any of my time on you, so even if you keep the grade school bs, i wont respond to it. So grow up.

For everyone else the h3 this time seemed a lot better. Might have been that the first one I drove had big 20 inch rims on it. This one had factory rims and tires. I got a chance to even take it on the highway which was nice. I'll wait for the h3 alpha before I buy anything but I think im pretty sold on just a regular h3, anything more might be overkill.

dеiтайожни you = the man

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Amazing how a simple test drive can answer all of your questions, now isn't it?

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

LOL, what a great oxy-moron!:D

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Wow what a boring thread.... anyway I dont know if you got your answer but when I was buying my H2 I decided to consider getting my wife the H3, however I test drove it and it is exactly what your not wanting. It is way way way underpowered, I could not believe how much so. just my .02

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

i raced an H1 and got my a$$ kicked :fdance:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

if you want fast, buy a sports car...if you want rugged off road ability dont buy a sports car...have you ever heard of anyone discussing the approach angle of a vette versus the viper...cause no one cares....dont buy an apple if you want orange juice...

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Funny you mention that! I was just discussing the approach angle of the Murci?lago vs the Gallardo. Trying to figure out which one would receive the least damage attempting to go up a particular driveway and over certain speed bumps. :dancingbanana:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Murci?lago, btw.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

I apologize in advance for not having read all of the posts in this thread, but my $0.02:

I just took my H2 in to the dealer today to get an OnStar module replaced. They gave me a 2007 H3 loaner. I have never driven one with the 3.5L, but the 07 with the 3.7L was way quicker than I imagined it would be. After all of the bad press, I expected it to be a dog. Perhaps I have low expectations (I'm one of the people who thinks that the H2 does not need to be any faster - I've never really wanted or needed to puch that massive beast any faster than it goes). I enjoy driving fast cars, but I don't really enjoy drving my H2 around like a race car. I've been considering getting an H3 for my wife fairly soon. I might have already done so, but I was dreading the slowness of the vehicle and thought we should see what the pricing on the Alpha would be. After today (though I'd rather have the Alpha-everything else being equal), I'm not sure I'd pay much more for one. The 3.7L H3 seems plenty fast to me. Granted, it did not have the 33" tires, but I can't believe that will make a huge difference.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

works again....

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

2006 H3 will lose to a 2006 H2, but not by that much, and it is not the dog everyone says it is. It will get up and go, and runs 90 all day long...well so long as the fuel remains.
2007 H3 will stay pretty much even with the 2007 H2. Just a note: the 2008 Alpha will kick the 2007 H2's rear end (well, maybe not kick but beat:D ). I have not had the privalege to try out a 2008 Alpha against a 2008 H2, since I'm having problems finding the 6.2L H2.:shhh:
More to come:giggling:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

thanks f5, Ive driven several h3's and even had one as a rental car for a few days between the time I wrote this post up. Your right, the h3 really is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, but I'll wait for the alpha, I like to know i have a lot of power behind me. The alpha Im sure will beat the 2007 h2, but with the increase of hp in the 2008 h2 it should be interesting to see how quick they are. Looking forward to seeing more of these updated trucks.
