Re: Escalade vs H2
Not that it needed to be said again but, yes You will loose. EXT. comes factory with about 40 to 50 more HP/TQ and it's tranny seems to have better programmed shift points to take advantage of th extra HP/TQ better. BUt, if You could talk Him into running out and buying about $5000 worth of huge rims and tires then you will take Him or at least even up the odds.
BUt, the EXT and H2 are not the same rig. Really only share the same engine but, Hummer chokes it back to cut down on driveline warranty problems.
Now that is if things have not changed allot for 2006 models. I have been busy with 05 H2 and not paid attention to new models. I do hear allot of the H2 owners liking the new outside mirrors. I remember at first when the first pics came out You could hardly find anyone that liked them.
Would some one update me as to what is the preference now on the mirrors? new style or old style mirrors are favorites amoung forum.

Actually, I don't know what size you mean by "huge rims" but my GF's Escalade has 24's on it and it still LAUGHS at my H2  (

Re: Escalade vs H2
I say it depends on the driver - who's more agressive. Hubby has an 04 Slade. I've beaten him off the line several times in our little competitions. But he's also afraid of scratching his rims.
Challenge him on a dirt road. You might win.

Re: Escalade vs H2
If we are at a stop and we both floor it, she walks away, no problem.

Re: Escalade vs H2
Yikes. You have less than no chance of outrunning an esalade. Those things are fast.
Hummers are so slow, that today when i swapped my truck for a 'vette (just for the day), i literally scared the crap out of myself merging onto the interstate. I almost had to change.
The fastest i've ever had my H2 going is just under 80, which was in an alfalfa field a few days ago.
