ChevyHighPerformance is off the scale
Default Re: Alpha information

I had an opportuninty to ride in (and briefly drive) a 280 HP 06 H3. It felt pretty sweet. This H3 was tested at 8.5 seconds 0 - 60 MPH. Hammering the gas from a standstill with the wheels slightly turned would get a chirp from one front wheel, the traction control would kick in, and then get a short chirp from one rear wheel. Exhaust was noticably louder and the person said their MPG actually increased by about 1.5 - 2 MPG in the city after all the modifications.

I imagine the alpha would be even quicker and should shut up the magazine critics that said the H3 lacked power. Now what are they going to complain about.
