1200Hp CHEVY CAMARO 67´ Pikes Peak Special || LS7 Turbo ONBOARD

This is the brutal Chevrolet Camaro 67´ owned and prepared by Mike DuSold of DuSold Designs,and while incredibly still road legal, here taken to a 1200+Hp Pikes Peak ready extreme!!
Powered by state-of-the-art LS7 engine unit in Turbocharged form and sporting a Rocket Anti-Lag system, it can produce up to almost 1500Hp but is here taken to a more manageable 1200Hp (!!!) to withstand the tricky bits of the legendary Mountain located in Colorado Springs. While still a bit heavy at 1450Kg, it certainly makes up for it with raw power and a quite impressive aerodynamic package. Looking for a sub-9 minutes run under ideal conditions, during the 2022 edition we already saw it placing among the 15 fastest Monsters on the Pikes Peak under some horrendous conditions as can be seen on the clip.

How he kept on the gas at the top in the fog was crazy. Brutal machine

[@joe125ful]

Maybe he know track wery well?

[@ramblerdave1339]

Clouds, not fog!

[@bebetofandi6431]

Maybe the visor on his helmet has a special kind of vision improvement, I has seen this on specific sunglasses.

[@joe125ful]

@@bebetofandi6431 You mean enchanced AL projecting road info to his helmet,something like co-op driver reading notes in rally driving or 3D road projecting from GPS system with accurate distances. I think this can be cool idea to do.

[@TheFluffyWendigo]

Respect to the driver for dropping the hammer with all that fog, absolute mad lad

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Just like we like it :D

[@poplaurentiu4148]

This footage prove that the mountain road is not less dangerous even paved by any means, in full race in fact because now the up-hill got paved the pilots can carry even more crazy speed also they try to brake records with each race, but when fog, rain or even snowy ice patches form then the balls to go flat-out and true skills will shine from each pilot.. when track was on dirt & gravel was dangerous & thrilling to watch specially when weather got worse, but the speed of cars could not be like these days..

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@HillClimbMonstersi love this hillclimb car man! Wish we also could see Sprinter Trueno doing hillclimbs also.

[@AlteredCarbons]

yep. i could never drive pikes peak not even quarter throttle. the thought of having the balls big enough to drive in the fog like that full throttle... props to anyone who does

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

Pikes Peak isn't particularly challenging, it's just very high consequence. You should try it in a sim to see what I mean. Have you ever seen Transfăgărășan? You'll appreciate it if you haven't. If you're a fan of switchbacks, it might be your thing.

[@hillclimbracingfan5821]

@@skaldlouiscyphre2453 Or St.Ursanne Les Rangiers,where 80% of the track is full throttle driving through very narrow and twice as tight road through forest and maybe is not as long as Transfagarasan or Pikes Peak but still quite a challenge because of how tight and fast it is.

@@hillclimbracingfan5821 Thanks, I know what I'll be looking up tonight. 😁

[@johncarl5505]

​@SkaldLouisCyphre The high consequences are part of the challenge. Imagine saying that the Isle of Man TT is not challenging because it's mostly straight. You would sound stupid.

Amazing video of an amazing car. Thank you. It’s incredible how far this car has come from its original 1967 design. Think about it. That’s a 56 year old car blasting up Pikes Peak. Hillclimb racing is the coolest Motorsport in the world because of cars like this. Keep the videos coming, great job.

[@3.9L_V8]

It sounds and looks brutal, but is surprisingly stable for a car with 1200hp. I'm sure some of that weight helps, not to mention the incredible skill (and balls!) of the driver. And it's road legal!

[@calvinevans8305]

I want to go watch the hill climb racing at Pikes Peak before it gets shut down. Bucket list for sure, as well as the Silver State Classic point to point race.

I love the idea of it, and awesome on them for doing shit that they couldn't even have dreamed about children since 1200\1500hp was not even a pipe dream in cars id bet when they were kids. That said, I am jealous as fuck for having enough money to throw away on a race car that expensive that really cannot be competitive in too many places.
