Hummer H2 gets pwned in hill climb race by Ford Model T driven by a 70 year old man
It wasn’t a fair fight at all, but for funsies, a vintage-car hill-climb allowed Forbes Magazine to enter a late model HUMMER H2. You know, just to see how the 316-hp, 4WD SUV would do against, say, a 100-hp 1921 Model T driven by a 70-year-old man. Like we said, it wasn’t fair at all.
The HUMMER climbed the 475-foot-tall hill in 10.74 seconds and didn’t even break a sweat. Among those not surprised at the HUMMER’s prowess was Gary Le Fever, the Model T driver who was waiting at the top of the hill for the H2. Le Fever and his 86-year-old Ford had finished the climb in 9.96 seconds!

GOOD
Why aren’t there any videos? This is great!
pics or it didn’t happen
Hummers suck anyways…douchemobile. Glad to hear such an old Ford beat the POS. Ford is the best.
I actually watched this on TV a couple months back, I can’t remember what channel it was on. They did a series of like 5 competitions and the model T won.
In the hummers defense the Model T driver hauled ass up the hill without much concern for his vehicle and the Hummer driver seemed to take it really slow as not to bash the edge of the much wider H2 on the walls of the path.
I would like to see what would happen if both drivers hauled ass without concern for the body of the vehicle, but to my recollection the shorter wheelbase was a huge advantage for the model T on that particular course.
It was very impressive seeing an old Model T dominate a hill like that though.
Other competitions that I can remember was a drag race of down and back, and a course that featured a hairpin turn next to a cliff.
Yes but does the Model-T compensate for a smaller than normal penis? I think not.
Ford is a good car
There’s nothing to suggest this was a race, therefore a snail may have made it quicker than the Hummer if the Hum was going slow enough.
The civilian version of the ‘hummer is a far cry from the military one.
