Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Not only did Rhys Millen take the overall victory at the 2012 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb this past Sunday driving a specially prepared Hyundai Genesis Coupe racecar, but with an ascent time of 9:46.164, he also set a new world record.

For the 2012 edition of the famed hill climb, Millen’s own race team, Rhys Millen Racing (RMR), made a series of improvements to the Korean sports coupe.

Among other upgrades, the car was fitted with a wide body aero package, Hankook F200 racing slicks on custom HRE lightweight wheels, uprated brake calipers and new Garrett GTX3582 Turbocharger that boosted the V6 engine to 700 horsepower and 700 lb. ft. of torque.
