Hummer 6.5L TD vs: Hummer 8100 Vortec
Both are H1 models. Hummer has decided to offer the new model next year. In M/T they reported that the 340 hp, 10,000 Lbs Vortec model has a better 0-60 and quarter mile time. I'm just wondering about your thoughts on it. Does anybody have Torque figures on it? I know that the 6.5L makes 430 lbs/ft of wrenching force. Personally I like the first one better because the new one sounds too GM.

I chopse the 8100 hundred, more power (340hp vs 195) and torque (455lb-ft vs. 430lb-ft).
So the old diesel sucks. |

Diesels aren't bad. The new ones, including GM's 6.6 L are good motors. They all get great fuel mileage, they'll run 300,000 miles, and you don't have to run them like a S2000 motor to get the power out of them. I just have a real particular dislike for the 6.5 L that GM hung onto for WAY too long.

If your not interested in pure performance, a Diesel will work fine. BMW and Mercedes have diesels now, even in their prestige models. For around town, they rock!!
The new 6.6 is awesome, the old 6.5 was a shitty dinasour. |

i know benz and bmw have diesals.... i remember a couple years ago (probably more than a couple) there was a mercedes commercial where this guy (who is a pro racer, i think he's from F1) is driving down a twisty highway in his mercedes, then he picks some girl up... and rides off.... then she asks "this is a diesel!?!" because it had good power

Unless you saw it in Europe, that must be one old commercial! I can remember "The Brick" commercials from the early 90's (do not pay until 1992!!)

Chris,
Calling the 6.5 a shtty dinosaur is the understatement of the year!! I don't think words can describe the waste of money and metal the 6.5 was. |

All civilian Hummers suck they are about the most unreliable POS ever. An old fried of mine had one an he had to take it to the shop every 2 weeks for one thing or another. Every visit costed him about 2 grand or more. BTW, his rich daddy paid for it.
