How Big Red Camaro resets for America’s biggest hill climb.
You can’t build one car to race everything as-is. The rule of compromise says that if you want to be strong in one area of performance, there’s always a trade off in another.

Here’s the process of converting Big Red from its fastest form ever (besting its old top-speed record with a 253.7mph run at Mojave) to its tallest challenge yet: The 2017 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, 14,115 feet of cloud-punching madness.
