2010 Hummer H2 Review

By Geof Ryan

The Hummer H2 is a massive SUV, which comes with exceptional off-road handling capabilities and amazing facilities. The regular H2 models have been marketed with five to six-passenger carrying capacity, while the custom built commercial Hummer H2 limos can carry up to a dozen of passengers effortlessly.

The regular H2 comes with dual-zone automatic climate control, Bose audio system, leather upholstery, full power front seats with a lumbar adjustment, heated seats, keyless entry, underbody skid plates, OnStar mechanism, locking rear differential and the powerful 315/70R17 all-terrain tires. However, the commercial Hummer limos are even equipped with mini-bars, dance floors, disco lights, Plasma TVs, home theatre systems and everything that you may dream of. Consequently, they're extremely popular for rentals to have fun of a lifetime.

But, the biggest downside to the H2 vehicles is their horrendous gas mileage, which comes to about 9.2 mpg overall. Far worse, you can't take it anywhere you want, and parking within city garages can be a big issue.

Optionally, one can also find additional goodies like third-row seat (to improve the passenger carrying capacity to 6), tubular side steps, brushed-aluminum roof rack, satellite radio etc. with the performance packages like the Adventure Series.

Under the hood, this gigantic vehicle derives 325 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque from the 6.0-liter V8 engine, and when you look at its gear selector you get a feeling as though it were lifted from fighter plane.

You get excellent ground clearance, aggressive tires, and plenty of grip, though the weight of the vehicle rounds of the power delivered by the V6; above all you got to shell out over $60,000, and hell a lot of money on gas refill every single time. So, 2010 probably Hummer H2 is an ideal pick for celebrities and stinking rich folks, not for the common man.

1971 Camaro For Sale

By Daniel Legal 

The Chevrolet Camaro is one of the most instantly recognizable cars in the entire world. Its production spans nearly 45 years, including an 8-year hiatus, and five vehicle generations. It has been the source of muscle in the 1960s and 1970s, a pop-culture phenomenon in the 1980s, and a source of innovation in the 1990s and beyond. Each model year has its own special allure, but some distinguish themselves more than others do. One such specimen is the 1971 Camaro, a revision of the first 2nd-gen Camaro. The only knock on the '71 is that it had less horsepower than its predecessor did, but more on that in a moment.

Chevrolet introduced the second generation with the 1970 Camaro on February 26, 1970. Luxury sports cars, such as those by Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Jaguar, had provided the inspiration for Chevrolet's design of this all-new body. The result was a longer, lower, and wider style than what the Camaro had previously been. Such a dramatic change was risky, but critics and consumers alike responded to it with fanatical enthusiasm. The style was so popular that the primary shape would carry on throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s.

In comparison to the 1970 model, Chevrolet offered only minor appearance revisions and tweaks on the 1971 Camaro for sale. One prominent change was on the interior. Chevrolet swapped out the 1970-only low-back seats, which had been a terrible design decision, with all-new high-back Strato bucket seats that had built-in headrests. However, the biggest change in the 1971 Camaro foe sale came under the hood due to a corporate mandate. General Motors wanted all 1971 model year vehicles to operate on regular-leaded, low-leaded, and unleaded gasoline.

This change necessitated the reductions in horsepower and compression ratios that we alluded to in the introduction. Of course, this change wasn't isolated to the General Motors. That year and over the next several years, these changes were occurring throughout the American automotive market. The 250-cubic-inch 6-cylinder, the 307-cubic-inch V8, and the two-barrel 350-cubic-inch V8 were the same as they had been in the 1970 model because these were already low-compression regular-fuel engines.

The changes came to the "muscle" engines. Output of the LT-1 350-cubic-inch V8 used in the Z/28 fell from 360 to 330 horsepower due to a compression ratio decline to 9.0:1 from 11.0:1. Likewise, the big block 396-cubic-inch V8 fell from 350 to 300 horsepower due to a compression ratio drop to 8.5:1 from 10.25:1. At the time, these changes weren't as unpopular as you might think. There were two factors at play. One, the U.S. was heading toward a fuel crunch, and increasing fuel prices were already shrinking the muscle car market. Two, insurance rates for pony cars were skyrocketing. In terms of insurance, the 250 and the 307 were far more affordable than the 396.

These changes aren't as big of a deal from the perspective of the modern enthusiast. Employing modern equipment and expertise, we can squeeze a substantial amount of horsepower out of these engines more than at which Chevrolet originally rated them. An enthusiast in the market for a 1971 Camaro for sale can find one in need of work with rust spots for a couple of grand. Prices begin to rise sharply if you're in the market for a 1971 Camaro for sale in prime condition.
