V8 Hummer v Suzuki Jimny: DRAG RACE

It’s time for a little vs large showdown!

Mat’s brought along his own Suzuki Jimny, and it’s about to go head-to-head over the quarter-mile against an absolutely huge Hummer H2!

So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Jimny, it’s powered by a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated 4-cylinder that can produce 101hp and 130Nm of torque. This power is sent to the rear wheels only by a 5-speed manual gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,135kg. As new, it cost just £22,000.

Then we come to the Hummer. The H2 is powered by a 6.2-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that can put down 398hp and 563Nm. All this power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at a colossal 2,850kg! When new, the Hummer H2 cost from around £45,000.

So the Hummer is well up on power, but it’s SO much heavier! Will this weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

Thanks to @BACKFIRE-MEDIA for joining us with their Hummer!

He did hit the brakes in the UK, but it stopped in the USA.

"The ABS didn't kick in." - What are you talking about?! That would result in a lockup. The *brakes* didn't kick in, more like

Who thought one day we would witness a whole hotel building racing a small SUV!

3:50 a bit of an over reaction on beating a Jimny with a V8

Ignoring the brakes, the gearbox ratios and upshifts in that Hummer are criminal

[Joe-uhqm]

"Did you hit the brake pedal?" 😂

[j.a.citadel]

That Hummer sounds mad. But give me the jimny all day.

Does that Hummer do anything well? Those brakes are off the scale dangerous, how on earth does it pass an MOT.

Youtube: Do you wanna watch a hummer and suzuki drag race?
Me: Sure why not...

The headlight washer only work when the headlights are on

[TomSunderland]

Those wheels on that Hummer just don’t look right 😂

Love the way Mat got concerned about the brakes in the end. Safety concerns from a companion is nice. Some would just let you be

I drive a H2 in the uk and i can confirm that those breaks are ruined my hummer stops like a sports car. The exhaust on that h2 sounds way better than mine though what on earth

[waltermercado]

As someone who's owned a 2006 hummer h2 for 15 years, i can assure you that the brakes on my car were nowhere near that bad. This guy needs his brakes checked asap.

[alexandrucalinauto]

I hear drivers complaining all the time about their ABS not kicking when in reality their BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING !!! This H2 video should be used as an advert "How can you tell when your car needs a PROPER SERVICE !"

[Prince_Pig]

OMG, the brakes on the Hummer! Shocking. Immediate brake upgrade needed.

With that long braking distance how is this thing legal on the roads?! 😮 It's scary

[Android-vkyh]

My God that heavy Yankee stopped in another dimension 😱 defo off-road battle needed

[flick]

8:48 the look of pure joy on Mats face lol

[k-ron]

Yeah get those brakes checked dude. For every other road users safety if that thing barrels into the back of someone. That’s shockingly bad. Surprised it passes and MOT
