h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Hey guys. My dad owns a pacific blue h2 and I think for its size its a very quick vehicle (its no ferrari) but it can merge into traffic comfortably and it will surprise people that have never been in a hummer before. Well I recently looked at an h3 (we use our hummers for advertising our business) I felt that it was really slow even with the changes they had made to the engine. I know most hummer owners arent looking around the streets for races. But I read that the 2007 h3's 0-60 and 1/4 mile were better than the 2007 h2's times. I found this hard to believe. So im just wondering if anyone has ever raced their h2 against an h3 and what were the results. If the h3 really quicker than the h2 I will deffinatly get it. I just didnt get the impression that it was when I test drove it. thanks

Russell

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

I only know of one race that the H3 will win, that's finding a parking spot, and well, maybe doing a u-turn!

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Hey Russell,
Seeing that your asking this question everywhere and getting the same answers. I would suggest to go rent a H3 and time it on some road, then do the same with the H2.
I have a 3, and I would not run against a 2. I would lose that race. But for a around town or for offroading in the woods, I would take the 3 only because of it size. Small things can get into and out of tight spots.
With that said, I am still selling my 3 and buying a 2 if I can. I like the room and the power the 2 has. I do more road driving than I do offroading and I drive on the highway alot. I like the 2 on the open road.

So whichever you buy, whenever you do. Enjoy the shiat out of it! and post pics for us to see.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Are you kidding? If the H3 is like 0.37 seconds faster than the H2 in the quarter mile... you would actually get the H3? That's got to be the stupidest deciding factor ever, Hummers aren't race cars. If you don't mind me asking, why do you need the faster of the two when the difference is negligible?


Welcome back!!

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

dude I udnerstand what your saying. Like I said I dont want the h3 to be a ferrari or a porsche. I just want it to be like the h2. If it were anywhere close to the h2 in speed i would be more than happy with it for everyday driving. I just dont want something that unbareably slow (aka the 2003 h1 my dad had) I was driving it once on the highway and a big semi was spitting rocks and i had no other option but to slow down. I just wouldnt want the h3 to be a truck like that where it has no ability to pass on the highway. Believe me half the reason Im getting the h3 is cause im tired of getting to every light and have someone trying to race me.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

I have an H2 and my friend has a H3 and I can tell you if there is a large up hill grade he has to pull over to the right. And I just go faster.:giggling:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

hahaha thats funny. How do you like the pacific blue h2? My dad loves his he had a 2004 yellow with the wheat interior it wasnt half as nice as this new one he has. Nice truck man

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

one sorry-ass race that would be...:jump:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Only if the H2 was towing an H3. Unpossible. I speak from experience. Twice. The H3 didn't even come close(And both blingers were quite upset.).

Maybe because mine is an 03.

This is like asking if a Murcielago has more rear wheel travel than an Gallardo.

We don't want to hear about your sessual escapades with your Italian boyfriends.

So true!

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

I have owned both a 2006 H3 (The Titanic) and a 2006 H2. I'd put my money on the H2 every time. Especially the 60 to 80 speeds.

The H2 can go from 60 to 80 in 6.2965 seconds and the H3 requires approximately 9.4354 years. It's a minor difference, but in my mind, still significant!

;)

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

:iagree: hahaha hilarious. Italian boyfriends. But yea thanks Dennis, I knew someone on he had to have lined up next to an h3 at one point or another. I just wanted to know if it was even a close race. wow thank Titanic see thats the kinda info im looking for. So you drive the h2 now? you ever miss the h3?

Dude...does the librarian at your high school know you're using the computer for surfing Hummer web sites and you're not actually researching for your paper in Health class on teenage acne and the lasting psychological ramifications of it?

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

A race would be like watching paint dry.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Come on, be honest... it would be more like this:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

The H2 has nice pick-up. I don't know about the H3 though.

"Dude...does the librarian at your high school know you're using the computer for surfing Hummer web sites and you're not actually researching for your paper in Health class on teenage acne and the lasting psychological ramifications of it?"

... ok, Neither am I in highschool or have I ever had acne. Drop your 15 year HIGH SCHOOl lets pick on this guy mentality... wow

:twak:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Um, what? I'm not picking on you; I don't know how you came to that conclusion. I have driven an H2, not an H3. Thats what I was getting at. If you like the H3 better, thats fine by me.
Believe me, I by no means at all have a 15 year old 'lets pick on this guy' mentality. That could be because I'm not 15, nor do I have acne, nor am I sitting in the library of my school evading the librarian.
I am typing this from the comfort of my own study at home, as school has been out for well over an hour now, in an attempt to take part in a forum that I enjoy participating in. If you didn't like what I said (for whatever reason), ignore it. I obviously fail to see what was rude about my last comment.
Wow.

Man... you new guys and the quote system are funnay. :jump:

exactly!

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

NO NO NO! Hummer Aficionado_VT. You seem like an alright guy. I wasnt trying to make any comments to you. I guess you were as comfused as me when I got that message. Scroll down thats what Humdingah said to me. Humdingah guy pulled that high school card on me and started to try and pick fun at the new guy. Well am I new to the forum yes. But am I new to hummers hell no! My father has owned hummers since the first year of the H2, and you know what Humdingah When I was in high school, I wasnt chillin in the library looking at acne creams, I was rolling around in a 2003 h1 firehouse red wagon. ;)

Oh, well, misunderstandings happen!:giggling: My sincerest apologies then!:D Welcome to the site!

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

hahaha thanks for the welcome. Do you drive an h2 then? if so tight.:D

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Unfortunately not. While it is my favorite vehicle, I haven't the means, being a student and all... I plan on getting one as soon as I have an income and am out of college!:excited:

Until then, I can only participate here and hope a senior member grows weary of their old H2 and gives it to me when they upgrade to a newer one...:shhh:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Well since you've apparently managed to sneak out of high school, with excellent marks in English I'm sure based upon your "neither...or" usage, then you should be versed enough to search a few web sites that I'm quite sure may have tested 0-60 times for vehicles (things like Road & Track, Motor Trend, Autoweek, Truck Trend, etc. immediately come to mind).

And, judging by your screen name Russell, you're quite possibly referring to an H3 Alpha, which isn't even available yet. That would again only serve to reinforce my hinting that this may, in fact, be a wasted post. But enjoy newb...

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

deit, just PM me when you're ready to donate, ok?:giggling:

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Yea I managed to sneak right through college too. No one told me this was an english essay. And yes my name is talking about the H3 Alpha? How did you guess man? The first H3 Alpha coming into Dew Hummer is reserved as mine. So no its not avaliable yet, but I have the first one set aside from Dew Hummer. Ive read up quiet a bit on the H3 and looked directly and made comparisons to the H2. I may just get a regular H3 though, I was just wanting to see what owners had to say. Im here to find out things just like everyone else. Thats what a forum is for right sharing information? I just straight dont like your type. pick on me cause im a "newb".... ok? I perviously mentioned that I have been around hummers for years, hell ive been deep sea fishing on Jim Armours boat. So go take a long walk off a short pier buddy. ;)

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

I heart the Dew Hummer!

Yeah... but 0-60, quarter miles... it's an unorthodox way to compare Hummers, you really can't give an answer that is nice and makes sense to that.

If I'm reading this correctly... had someone done that, they would end up falling off the pier.. possibly into sand or water. Long walk..short pier... yes, I think that's right. Why would you wish that on anybody? That's terrible.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Err... is the long walk relative to the short pier? As in, walk a distance of 49.5 feet on that 50 foot pier? Rather than a short walk of say 10 feet on a 50 foot pier?

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

Is it meant to be an exhaustive exercise? Please respond quickly.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

hey man you like Dew thats were we get all ours hummers from. Its tight but I miss phil he was the man. Weve been going there before it even moved from its old location. and yea I know the 60 times and 1/4 mile times are hard to judge but, hence why I asked if anyones raced between the two. Anyways say its a 50 foot pier as long as its anything greater than that im cool, hopefully there is a large drop too.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

i would have to ay the H3 alpha is goin to be the quickest/fsatest stock hummer made.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

you think it will be quicker than the new h2? I mean like I said i dont need a fast hummer, I just need one that doesnt feel under powered.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

I have never felt the H3 was underpowered. And I drove mine like a race car (well hard enough to average 8mpg after awhile :giggling:), for some reason you powder coat your rims and all the little Mercedes want a race. :confused:

I was comfortable cruising at 90-94mph in my H3 on the interstate, I tend to keep my H2 at around 80mph, but it can easily get up to ~95 if you want to pass. Never had a problem getting up to speed in either, it's definitely not like some of the H1s. It's just... normal.

I still think the differences in speed between the two don't matter in the least. If you need something bigger, more room, etc.. go H2, if you want something smaller but still cool... go H3.

Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
 

tight man thanks for an honest opinion. See Ive got backround in the h1 and h2, just new to the h3. I think it looks like a little bastard! I love the thing and also its more practical for what I need. lol 8mpg though jesus man your an animal! Im just thinking the h3 alpha for me might be a bit over kill, I might do like the 300 dollar lease on the H3 its a damn good deal.
