full story and old record was http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/19/r...ss-at-pikes-p/

Millen set the record time of 12 minutes, 9 seconds (12:09.397) more than 1 minute and 23 seconds faster than his nearest competitor in the rear-wheel-drive Time Attack Class. At the finish line on the summit of Pikes Peak, Millen reported that the car that never skipped a beat, no matter how hard he challenged the diverse terrain and high altitude, and finished with both rear tires down to steel belts. Millen utilized the Genesis Coupe's rear-drive layout to its full potential, power-sliding his Genesis Coupe mere inches away from guard rails, trees and 2,000-foot cliffs, while besting his own record of 12 minutes, 31.61 seconds by 22 seconds.

I can't help watching that over and over esp....starting about 2:15 he gets on the dirt and becomes seemingly possessed and starts drifting every corner like a video game, except it looks more like the surface of the moon under his bumper, what-a-rush.

It just makes me and say "Hooooolllly sheet!"

Yea 2:56 is incredible! 5:00 is incredible too - it's like he's been on the dirt too long ....so when he gets on some payment...he ah ... seems a bit impatient

He uses the 500+HP like an on-off switch

The drifts up top where he steers towards the outside edge to set up for the corner are insane!
