Well, when this guy and his 900+ hp suzuki will be competing I think they will both break it.

But guys, remember, 900hp becomes 450hp by the time they get to the top and 770 becomes 385hp by the time it gets to the top

Re: Pikes Peak 2010 - Rhys Millen Throws Down the Gauntlet
where the light weight and Aerodynamics of the Hyundai should make the difference....
Re: Pikes Peak 2010 - Rhys Millen Throws Down the Gauntlet
The Suzuki is probably just as light and just as aero efficient, plus they have mega experience of the Hillclimb.
All I am saying is... just because something looks fast doesn't necisarily mean it is fast.

The other corner... The RMR Hyundai Genesis PM580 weighs in at 1950 pounds wet with 750 horses throwing this car up a mountain.
Thats whats know as a beat down Nicky! lol
Re: Pikes Peak 2010 - Rhys Millen Throws Down the Gauntlet
Millens car has a power/weight ratio of .384 where the suzuki has a p/w of .375 so nearly identical, this may come down to the driver more than anything
Re: Pikes Peak 2010 - Rhys Millen Throws Down the Gauntlet
Yes, but who knows Pikes Peak better? Millen or Tajima? In a hillclimb like this, knowledge of the track is everything.
I don't have anything against the Hyundai, it'd be great to see it do well. But I won't expect it to completely defeat the Suzuki first time out.

Millen must know something if he set a record first time out. (was last year his first time out on pikes peak?) his dad raced at pikes peak too, you gotta think theres some information sharing going on
Re: Pikes Peak 2010 - Rhys Millen Throws Down the Gauntlet
from the pikes peak site
"The younger [Rhys] Millen, a 17-year veteran on the Hill, set a world record on the Hill last year in winning the Time Attack 2WD division in his Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The Red Bull driver set the new mark of 12:09.397 last summer, beating his own personal best by 22 seconds, coming home 1:23 ahead of the next fastest car in his division."
apparently he does know something

Okay, I had no idea he had that much experience.
