Oh man...that might be a rallying cry!! Perhaps the forum members could field a car, and we could - as a 'team' - surpass the old record??? What a trip!

Good idea on the turbos and dohc.

This year's June 30 Pike's Peak International Hill climb with Sebastian Loeb driving a Peugot race car with twin turbo V6 of under 4.0 liter pushing an admitted (may be more) 900 hp destroyed the prior record up the 12 miles by more than a minute. Second to him was Rhys Millen in a Hyundai Genesis with same thing but 4.0 liter twin turbo. Loeb's flat track times? 0-62 mph...1.8 seconds...and to 124 was something like 7 plus seconds. Light weight tube frame race cars with panels hung on them to simulate a production name but man, can you push dohc with turbos.
