[Mr Snappy]

Well, sort of

"2008 Hummer H3 Alpha Prices: Expect the line-topping Alpha to start around $35,000.

Buying Advice for the 2008 Hummer H3 Alpha

Skip the underpowered five-cylinder models and head straight for the Alpha. Compared to the overworked five, the brawny V-8 will consume only slightly more fuel in real-world driving.

2008 Hummer H3 Alpha Release Date: The 2008 Hummer H3 Alpha will arrive in showrooms this fall.

First Test Drive: Check back for more information. "




This site speculates that the price will be $35,000
I hope so ! I have heard speculation as high as $45,000 !!!

just let us know when someone gets one , so we can go steal the front axle assembly

Porblem is the Alpha will not be ordered by dealers with just the alpha package when they first come out. If you can place an order maybe. This time next year they willhave 0% on them or huge rebates, buy now pay now. wait and get a deal. i say 42-45

I'd say your pretty close. But the General does have a way of making you pay dearly for bigger motors. Look at The Corvette ..fom LT 1 to ZR 1 along with some slight chassis mods and a 1 1/2 " wider rear fenders the price was around 75-80K over the well equiped model at around 45 K

(Someone correct me here if I'm wrong.)

Look at the new Z0-6.. compared to the LS 1 corvette. Most of the time it's a big Jump. I figure when the General figures in Body Mods ..Chassis Mods.. And Puter reprogramig and all the rest of the stuff that goes with a V8 your gonna pay at least 8-10K for the up grade.

That'll get yah 53 more ponies and a better diff and suspension and all rest of the minor mods.And at that point you become the Generals Test Mule for the first year.

What's gona fail on the first Alpha's..You'll be the Test Drivers for the rest of us.

Me gonna keep my 07 and and wait fo the 09 Improved Alpha..or ..may I'll wait till 2010..that has a better ring then 2009

Well, also as a vette owner, this is a little bit of a stretch......
The Z06 is far from just an upgraded motor. I don't have to tell you that the engine is hand-built and tuned for each car. The car uses Carbon Fiber panels and hood, the body is modified as is the suspension, interior, wheels, tires, exhaust, the list goes on and on....

A better comparison is to look at the Tahoe or Yukon to see how they handle upgrading the engine.

To be honest, for me, non of the suspension upgrades are of interest, I just want the V8. I would be happy to get a base H3 with an automatic, V8 and bigger tires/wheels.

You are Correct there Mr. Snapster...That was the wrong example to use... forgot about all the CF and other gack.. But you get the jist of what I'm saying there.

I think..even if it was just V8 upgrade..they'd still have to mod the fire wall and other related items according to the story I read about the Alpha. Either way she's -a- gonna cost more.

I doubt it will be as low as 35, and i i doubt as high as 45 id say probably around 40,000-42,000, but who knows since it already has the Lux and adventure package, which is whats gonna boost up the price a bit.

[3Hummer]

sorry for the dual post but when i hit edit the page wouldnt open up. I wonder what the 0-60 time will be now, i also wonder what the top speed will be now, and how much torque its going to have.

[usetosellhummer]

I saw it posted somewhere here on the spec. I belive near 400 in tor and hp. i don't want the weight

This thread is hilarious. To believe a site called, How Stuff Works, will post an accurate price for the alpha is quite a stretch.
A engine borrowed from Chevy? Cool, didn't know Chevy made engines anymore. I guess they must have purchased GM powertrain. Hell, the LS engines are NOT made by Chevy. I really love the one about the ZO6 engine being assembled by man. Guess what, they are no more assembled by hand then any other engine GM makes. As for tuned to the vehicle....
I read two other articles in the past few weeks, and one starts the Alpha out around 45K.
From the advertisements, it appears the Alpha will be a Lux with a V8, so price out a lux and add about 2K for the engine, front axle (which to be honest is not that much more than the existing axle), and a few other goodies such as 3 more spark plugs and three more coils.... (This my guess, and I'll say it again, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PRICE WILL BE...well, at least until the end of this month.)

yea, "well sort of" was a bit of a stretch

I love when morons type for all the world to see what morons they are...

"Powering the C6 Z06 is a hand-assembled, 7,000-rpm 7.0-liter ? that's 427-cubic-inch ? normally aspirated small-block V8 called the LS7. It's an all-aluminum engine filled with exotic engineering, such as titanium connecting rods and intake valves, sodium-filled exhaust valves, a dry-sump oiling system, a forged-steel crankshaft and computer-machined cylinder-head porting. Horsepower and torque are a mind-bending 505 and 470 lb-ft, and it's all routed to the Vette's massive 19-inch rear tires through a six-speed manual transaxle.

You want more? How about brakes so large they can be seen from outer space, a full aluminum chassis, carbon-fiber front fenders and a magnesium engine cradle? The Corvette's removable roof panel has even been fixed in place to save mass and improve structure."

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=105876

or....

"The second-generation Corvette Z06, unveiled for 2006, serves up two fewer cylinders than the Viper but forsakes nothing in thrust or presence. The LS7 all-aluminum, 7.0-liter small-block V-8--hand-assembled using premium hardware like titanium connecting rods and a dry-sump oil system--is GM's most powerful production car engine ever, delivering 505 fire-breathing horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. The rest of this special Vette is equally top-drawer: lightweight, all-aluminum chassis; magnesium engine cradle; carbon-fiber front fenders; six-piston cross-drilled front brakes. Hey, did this thing come from Bowling Green--or Lockheed?"

As far as the pricing goes, this was a tongue & cheek thread that you obviously did not get. Yeah, they guess $35K, but I would probably think that it will be impossible to get one for that. As another posted, the dealers are going to load them with a ton of garbage to jack up the price even more.

Dude must be able to save cash with not having to go to the doctor for prostate exams. With a head that far up his ass, I think the air is getting cut off from the brain due to his sphincters death grip on his neck...
