Re: V8 H3 Alpha
Nice to see someone bring up the torque talk. I know from experience, my Dodge Dakota Quad Cab with the 4.7 V8 was a rocket, especially compared to my H3. But when it came to towing, my H3 would out pull my Dakota towing 4,400 lbs of Samurai on a 14 foot trailer up Ice House Road and to Moab getting better mileage at the same time. Torque is where it's at! Sure, I wish my H3 would take off the line like my Dakota did and I really wished it could pass like my Dodge, but it can't. I just got used to it. And for the record, I would trade in and pay more for a V8 option.

Re: V8 H3 Alpha
The H3's peak torque is at 2800RPM.

A number of sites say the 3.7L peaks at 4600rpm. A more thorough search than trying to remember off the top of my head returns the 2800rpm specification as well, but seems to be tied to the 3.5L. And that may be true, as the 3.7L might just build off of that number on it's way to 4600rpm, making for a pretty flat torqe curve. Unlikely though, considering how much harder the engine pulls over 4000rpm. Of course, one website said the HP and torque values were EACH less than 150!! I will have to do some more digging later.

Re: V8 H3 Alpha
I was just reading on the Hummer website about the H1 Alpha and it said "dont think the Alpha is limited to the H1, it will be a line of top end Hummers that will be fused into the h2, SUT and H3" quote my be a little off in wording but thats just about what it said
