700HP Supercharged Police Hummer

Geiger hiked the displacement of the H2's V8 to 7.0 liters and fitted a belt-driven, intercooled supercharger, as well as high-performance pistons, titanium connecting rods and a precision-balanced crankshaft. The result is a serious boost in torque, to 667 pound-feet, with output climbing to 700 horsepower. Despite its massive size and weight, the Geiger Hummer sprints from zero to 60 mph in less than 6.5 seconds, with its top speed electronically limited to 155 mph.

:roll: So a $24K Legacy GT can outrun this thing and gets like three or four times the mileage? Shoot, all you have to do is run from that ugly POS for a little while and it will run out of gas.

The people who buy this type of vehicle don't care about gas mileage.

More referring to its "practicality" as a police vehicle

 

[swtethan]

do you realize how much hp it takes to move 28" rims?

 

[Sentinel]

Is this just for show?

 

[CraigRT]

absolutely lame

 

[amish]

i love their ending quote.

The long arm of the law just got a bit wider, heavier and less efficient.

yeah, hello unsprung weight!

 

[thirdeye]

Haha, gotta love 700hp to propel that monstrous POS to 60 in over 6 seconds. Only that would scare me is being able to stop all that dead weight.

 

[DAGTA]

Our tax dollars well spent.

Even with that horsepower the vehicle will not come close to 155 mph. There is far too much weight and drag to make that possible. I doubt it could go much higher than 100 mph.

Since it has 28" wheels I guess nobody informed them about the negative effects of unsprung weight.

 

[krunchykrome]

it wouldnt last 30 minutes in a high speed chase.

 

[jamesbond007]

If they actually use it, then they probably don't really care about the gas mileage, since us taxpayers pay for it.

Here in Fargo, there is a D.A.R.E. Corvette that is used.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

With those short sidewalls, the second it hit a curb the rims would fold up like a taco.

 

[computeerrgghh]

I'd hate to be the sucker who would get rammed with one of these.

 

[NissanGurl]

+1 for the police pit move

Edit: Now if you spin out in front of them afterwards they can just drive over you :laugh:

At least a Vette can actually get reasonable mileage and has SOME practical use

 

[bradruth]

Ugh, no thank you.

 

[The Batt?sai]

well a car to match the corrupt cops. wonderful

 

[xanis]

Those rims are so practical too.... :disgust:

 

[DaiShan]

I don't get it, they have a huge gas guzzling SUV that doesn't go that fast, and can no longer go off-road? What's the point, to see how much gas someone can use in a day?
