Introducing the wonderful USMC HMMWV

Well I was doing a 0-60 test on one of our HMMWV's and I quit at 1:30 @ 47 MPH. I was disapointed.

The HMMWV (High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) is a light, highly mobile, diesel-powered, four-wheel-drive vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. Based on the M998 chassis, using common components and kits, the HMMWV can be configured to become a troop carrier, armament carrier, S250 shelter carrier, ambulance, TOW missile carrier, and a Scout vehicle.

The M998 is the baseline vehicle for the M998 series of 1 1/4-ton trucks, which are known as the HMMWV vehicles. The HMMWV vehicles include 11 variants. They are:


M998 Cargo/Troop Carrier;
M1038 Cargo/Troop Carrier, with winch;
M1043 Armament Carrier;
M1044 Armament Carrier, with winch;

M1046 TOW Carrier, with winch;
M997 Ambulance, basic armor 4-Litter;
M1035 Ambulance, 2-Litter;

M1042 Shelter Carrier, with winch;
M1097 Heavy HMMWV (payload of 4,400 pounds).
All HMMWVs are designed for use over all types of roads, in all weather conditions and are extremely effective in the most difficult terrain. The HMMWV’s high power-to-weight ratio, four-wheel drive and high ground clearance combine to give it outstanding cross-country mobility.

What he's saying is that Hummers in the army don't do over 50mph...

My buddy told me about that a LONG time ago. (well not that long but before you could get a hummer as a civilian)...

I was going to try to get an army surplus one before they released them to the public...

You could get them if you had or were serving... they were DIRT cheap too... you could get one for around 13k as I remember.

Top speed of 50 but you could do 50 through a forest without turning as long as the trees were only 12-18"... just steamrolls through.

Army Hummers do like 70. They are turbo charged. Ours just suck though. They can do 65 if you have a 7 mile straight away. They definatly can NOT do 50 through a forest no matter what. They have no balls at all. I hate these things.
