Even if it is a stick drop down 1 gear if not 2 depending on speed for the passing power.

Around town I find myself keeping the RPMs up a lot more than other vehicles I've owned, and not letting it get out of 3rd gear very often just with my foot, not shifter. Works great for me, and going to Big Bear up the mountains, I can keep it about 65-70 up the grade pretty effortlessly. Anyway, I cant complain, but I dont have that "need for speed" attitude. Other toys fill that void!

Like my tweaked 1997 Probe GT or 1978 Chevy C-10 pick-up street rod
Either are a highway patrol officer's worst nightmare
But then again, I could always just drive over them with the H3

Re: MY NEW H3,.......WHAT A TURD.
The Hummer brand, like all other Tactical Military vehicles, is designed to get from point A to point B, through whatever terrain it needs to get through.
Show me one Military vehicle that is fast, or has a low rpm passing gear?
There are none.
4700lbs, is heavy. Not as heavy as other vehicles, but heavy non the less.
220 hp, is more than ample for the 3, to get it where it needs to be.
Want something faster, or more powerful?
By a V8 something or other.
