"This model even comes with matching driver."

What are they like for pace, though? I've never liked the Hummers so I've never looked into it. I'd imagine they'd be a bit of a pig.

I haven't driven one, couldn't imagine they would be much good for get up and go. But I could think of many other ways they could prove useful. Would like to see a Turbo Territory done up the same...

I imagine its a 'proceeds of crime' vehicle, over there in some states the police gets first dibs on those items and they can use them as patrol vehicles.

As for performance, it has a '7 liter Kompressor' sticker on the sides, and 'Geiger performance' number plates, so I think it might have a bit of get up and go.

EDIT: According to here, it has 700hp, and the tuner is based in Europe, so I dont think that vehicle is in America, just done up to look like it.

I retract my earlier ill informed statement about performance. This would suit perfectly now. As long as insurance covers collateral damage... :
