I don't think so people realize how strong the HST is, or maybe they do http://www.planetrobby.com/video/replay-xd-robby-gordon-flips-his-l...

I a going to take the "ultimate Production SUV" comment from Robby with several grains of salt. Likewise his " Gordini" comment. Just talking in phrases. But I fully believe the concept of a lighter try truck type. Call it what you want.

Wonder if contractual obligation type of things give Robby a financial reason to still use the hummer name. I can. Eleven that.
