in the early days of HF, we had a guy with a blown H2...but i dont recall his username...
i believe that the guy in my area, running in the mid 11s with a street driven escalade is turbocharged by livernois performance.,..but im not certain of that.

Sweet. A challenge!! I know how to get 3200 lbs of Olds to run. Even had some pretty fast old Chevy PUs back in the day, but to get a 5000# + brick to get out of the 13s? Yikes. You need a ton of torque (700+) to get it mooooooving, then over 800 HP on the other end. The mass v accelleration stats say NO. Not even this http://www.worldcarfans.com/7060510.002/geigercars-builds-worlds-fastest-police-hummer is close. I'll take a back seat. Wale of a challenge Sugardaddy!

my 3700lb dodge is running in the low 12s, NA, with around 9 to 1 compression. i think that the problem is not so much the capacity of making a very fast hummer, but more so the cost..

Patrick, you are absolutely correct. Every HP past 400 is easily going to cost over $100.00 each and would continue on an increasing slope. If cost were no object, it might be done. Man could you imagine that rig. WILD. Hey didn't Bob Hope say that "Isn't that wild?" It would also help to reduce tire profile, so it would be much $$$$ to keep ground clearance an some tire size. Ah well, back to work.

Phsshh.....like i care about being in this forum. But i wasn't bashing on hummers if you read my post carefully. I was talking about the idiot in the hummer who thought he was in a Ferrari. And i don't care what other cars you mention that can beat mine cause i am smart enough to know that i don't have the fastest car out there. I was only referring to the idiot in the Hummer. If you want to bash someone you should bash your fellow hummer driver for driving like an idiot and giving you guys a bad name. I was MMOB, i don't drive around town looking for easy targets. The old saying goes "Don't start none, won't be none"
Giving us a bad name? A mature person would have just sucked in their gut and not got into a road rage incident that boiled as far as to register on a forum and post about it trying to call out a person. This is the type of thing done in grade school. You have a faster car, and what point is it that you are trying to make? I see plenty of GTO's and they drive like they are the Bugatti of today’s cars, do we register on your forums calling any of you out? No. Please grow up. If you are incapable of some restrain regarding road rage incidents, perhaps it's time to sell your car and hang up the keys.
Now with that said? How do you like your GTO? I was thinking of trading the Hummer in for a couple of those. (Okay, just kidding!).
Show some restraint and don't respond to this forum, if you do, you obviously care a little more about these forums than you are willing to admit.
"Don't start none, won't be none" - Applies well to your situation.

And we care why, Jarett?? For every Hummer owner like me that wheels their ride there are 4000 that are only making up for their tiny diks.... we get it.... Over half of our owners should be killed.... hell, I threw a river rock at the assclown from PA driving down my street at 1am with his rap blarring.... and then gave the plate number to my neighbor the next day.... he hasn't been back.... but thanks for thinking we care enough to join this board and post about it....
Maybe I should join an Audi forum and tell them about the idiot that tried to cut me off the other day.... right around 105 he decided it was better to get behind me....

Looks like i gained some new friends. No really, this forum is starting to get interesting.
I'm over that now. In all honesty i signed on here to rant and it happened to be in a Hummer forum because that was the last suv to put me over the edge so to speak. I can tell that you guys have respect for others on the road. Just out here in this town it seems like suv drivers think they own the road by tailgating, cutting off and such. And i always have ignored that. Just for some reason this particular guy got to me to the point i registered here to rant.
I actually want to thank this forum for letting me rant. 
You hang around here too much, and you'll be in a Hummer before you know it
