Testing the 1200hp Pikes Peak Hill Climb Pennzoil Porsche GT3R

Thanks to Pennzoil for sponsoring this series.
Extra Special thanks to Road Scholars for jumping on board the E-Motion program in the 11th hour
Rhys Millen gets the opportunity to drive a few Porsche’s in order to get comfortable in the chassis. Once the Hill Climb GT3R was ready to rip they took it to the track and tested at Willow Springs to really push the car in a similar setting to Pikes Peak. They also took the car up to the mountain to test at altitude.

Thank you guys for watching. If you guys want a signed print for your wall I print all of them myself from my large format Canon printer larrychenprints.com/

[@WindingRoad]

Love the sound. I mimic it out loud as I drive my ‘08 Camry to work in the mornings.

[@dannymac6368]

No shame there, me too. 😵‍💫🤤🥰

[@alphaomega9255]

No doubt brother “Porsche experience” in my Ford Escape Ti

[@SF_Native]

This thing is nuts. Let's take a moment to realize how amazingly bulletproof the Mezger 997 GT3 motor is. They dropped it into a 991 chassis for the most attainable horsepower and reliability factors. Long live Mezger!

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

Pretty amazing using the 997.1 3.6! An engine that was 14-15 years old now.

[@2fast2nick]

Amazing engine

[@343_GuiltySpark]

Bravo Larry for actually exporting this in true widescreen. Looks amazing on my 21:9 display!

[@notluke8158]

When most people are going 18:10 for smart phones Larry comes through

[@zeus.edwards2662]

thanks for this story

[@UncleManuel]

It would have been a shame if this documentary had gone straight to the archive. Great pace, great cinematography, no added narration - this has a lot Petrolicious vibes. 😎👍

[@richlee4847]

good job on the video

[@jeffhubbard5660]

Damn, that workshop......

[@punisherzly88]

Beautiful video Larry!!!

[@daffrob5208]

Easy solution for heat. LN2…liquid nitrogen. Double walled end tanks (intercooler, radiator, oil cooler, transmission cooler) and pump LN2 via solenoid within the walls. Thermocouples can be used to monitor temps and program solenoids to open if needed. This will reduce unnecessary heat.

[@rescuedandrestoredgarage]

Dude the information and technology that's has gone into this car is mind blowing awesome brother 👏. Just to sit down and watch this I felt myself getting smarter or how dumb I am you pic lol. Incredible job man you are truly gifted in what you do, your talent is inspiring ty.

[@---l---]

[@Calebh05]

Great content as always, Larry!

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

Loved the driving dynamic info and the tech talk. Also nice to see the 997 in the background 👍

[@dougrippe33]

Rhys starting to look a lot like his old man. Absolutely outstanding content, very well put together.

[@denissarvari7629]

Thanks for sharing the story 🙏, beautiful bideo and amazing machine ❤️

[@tptrsn]

Amazing tech content Larry, thank you!!

[@GuyFawkesWitChu]

27:04 I guarantee that the air that comes out of Rhys’ magnificent lungs gives the Porsche at least 10-15 horsepower, sitting inside of that air box 😂

[@LueXiong10]

Just awesome work!

[@adriangale]

I want those naca ducts for my 996! And a nice carbon intake box right behind me 😊

[@ElegantMessTechPC]

[@607snapperz9]

w video

[@Rohambili]

Yo Larry! WHat happend here 11:30 You using some wirelless mic... and the noise is from the lighting on that place?

[@zmc223]

might wanna go with a heavy duty wing like chiron or the new hoonigan vw hit a certain speed lift the back downforce

[@seamusmcfitz913]

Sounds EXACTLY like a Honda Civic type R with an Ebay exhaust! V - Tech all day!!

[@AnbuReckz]

Larry is the best in the game

[@mattyc2815]

Larry there's no way with the vast amount of cars you encounter that you are just now learning about air to water intercoolers for turbos. @25:20

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

People always assume 50/50 is ideal. Watch a 911 race compared to other cars around it and the line they take. There are advantages to the layout.

[@friskmall6327]

Bye I’m going to get in my twin turbo z dumped on the ground. Takes the covers off the t top on a nice over cast day and turn the boost up!

[@marekd.7350]

You mean it's not electric? Nice!

[@Avatar711Wizard]

[@numberoneJATT]

[@Frankprane-lo3yf]

[@pizzaroll6604]

that exhaust costs more than my networth.

[@evilsimeon]

The music, why the music?? Stop trying to be so dramatic. Would be nice to hear the car.

[@paulb2948]

Omg Larry, get new mics or something? That buzzing is killing the vibe. 🫤😉😎
