Yes, definitely he was too fast, and on the other hand it's Hummer, a bit wrongly calculated car on design boards of R&D department. Not a great business success for US car industry.

I was thinking H3 is a great car, Even i didnt check it from inside, the shape was inspiring me. But after hearing from capri regarding the design faults I am more interested to hear what is basically wrong with this hummer design?

Capri your analysis and advices are appreciated.

Thanks

It is very simple - too much weight (approx. 3.5T empty), low power and torque. It has difficulties to drive itself on tarmac, because of weight, not to talk at all when coming into sand. Most powerfull are only V8 diesel engines ranging 6.6L/300HP H1, 6.2L/393HP H2, where H3 is 3.7L petrol with 239HP. But the weight is the biggest issue at the end.
