Yea I'm old enough to remember the good ole days and when 0-60 in the
10 second range was considered decent.

But today is 2005 and 0-60 in 10 seconds is mediocre at best. But a Hummer is not designed to maximize 0-60 times. All the Hummers (including the H2)are slow in this regard on the road.

I really feel the difference when I get in my Boxster S (0-60 in mid 5 second range) or my wife's Jag X-type 3.0(0-60 in mid 7 second range). Something about the H3 that I still enjoy driving everyday.

Different toys for different purposes for sure.
