Getting 9,000 lbs moving that fast, that quick, has got to tickle the go fast brain sensors, but its also going to be a real issue with the poor driver quality base.

Just think what that super fast acceleration is going to look like with that rush hour fool that zigzags through traffic to get a few car lengths ahead from where he was before.


And then there's stopping the thing:

"Reining in five tons of GMC might require an assist from a runaway-truck ramp. The mondo EV's 70-mph stopping distance, 211 feet, is on the long end even for a heavy-duty truck, and stopping from 100 mph requires 504 feet. Testers noted heavy brake fade, so think twice before entering your Hummer EV in our next Lighting Lap event. "
