Default 800hp Ford Fiesta's to take on Pike's Peak!!!
Really really can't wait to see the footage from when this goes down... I can definitely see Marcus Grönholm dropping under a 10 minute pass at the ultimate rally track!!!

Sweet! Should be some nice footage of that for all us fans.

How long did the Escudo take to do it then? Gonna hunt around Google for it now.
EDIT, from Wiki: 2007: The overall fastest time on the mountain was achieved by Nobuhiro Tajima at 10:01.408. He was in a Suzuki XL7 Hill Climb Special while racing the Unlimited category. He beat the previous record set by Rod Millen set 13 years before in 1994 of 10:04.06. However, Tajima's record was set after the Pikes Peak surface was paved whereas Millen's record was on dirt

Brett and I have driven it in real life in a C6 'Vette *nod nod nod* - even at our relatively slow pace (compared to racers) you understand how dangerous it is.
