Running Pikes Peak in an 800 HP 2JZ-swapped GT86
Scion Racing teamed up with Mackin Industries (Volk Racing) and went to Pikes Peak to dominate the hill.
As you can see, there was a bit of pucker factor. The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb has quite a reputation surrounding it. Motorsport veterans bemoan that the entirety of the route is now paved. However, the danger is still real. It seems like every running up the hill results in crashes and a lot of near misses.
This Scion Racing 86 had a near miss as the beginning of this video, and it looked terrifying. After the possible code brown scenario, we get to check out this hardcore 86. What makes it stand out from a showroom stock car? Well, here’s the build breakdown:
Engine & Drivetrain
- 2JZGTE 6-cylinder turbocharged (~800whp/~650 lb-ft)
