I was just flipping through Youtube, to find something interesting to post about the Goodwood Festival of speed, and found this crazy video from the 2007 event. It’s of Rod Millen’s 1000 bhp Toyota Tacoma Pikes Peak special flying up the hill climb… sheesh…. this car is insane!…

This car isn't just insane, it's downright scary! Looks like a Group B-era rally monster with some pickup flavour.
That looks scary to drive
the driver definitely having a tough time coping with that insane amounts of power on the tap! wonder what are it's other figures
Haha!
Roads can't even contain that thing...
=3
I think if you look up "twitchy" in the dictionary it has this clip. It seemed like it wanted to change direction with every single input. Acceleration = sideways. Turning = sideways. Braking = sideways. Wow.
Normal roads isn´t enough to tame this apocalyptical beast. This car is biblically fast !
Holy mother of BEASTS, that thing is fucking INSANE!
+1 for using the Tacoma body instead of a played-out car shell.
lovely sound...
Rod Millen needs to go back to Pikes Peak to reclaim his record (and break the 10-minute barrier)... if I remember correctly, at full throttle the car has a nitrous system
that is some massive power. look how the brakes were struggling to prevent it from rear-ending that land rover.
also are those hamsters i hear under the hood? jk. Sounds absolutely beastly.
IF you play Colin McRae DiRT, they have that car in the game. You need to be really good to keep it going at full speed!
The "truck" is actually based on a IMSA GTP car, but in an AWD configuration.

You have to have bullet proof testicles to drive that beast..
That looked scary as shit
double-post on this site..
Destroked 2RZ?
That's AWD? The way that was stepping out at every turn and under acceleration i would have never thought. that is ridiculously fast. damn
Sweet mother of mercy that thing is vicious.
What's the deal with the black smoke, it's not a diesel is it?
Oh man, that guy must be crapping himself at the end.
You can see the car trying very hard to pull up behind the RR Sport. It snaking away while trying to pull up.
I had the pleasure of standing about 3ft away from this truck as it blasted up Pikes Peak. It was probably doing 80+mph coming out of the corner sideways. The truck was so fast it looked like it was defying the laws of physics.
The twichiness you see in the video is probably due to the fast steering rack for the tight turns at PP and I'm guessing it still has gravel tires mounted.
Every car guy should experience Pikes Peak at least once.
