Peak Performer

The Pikes Peak International Hillclimb is a true uphill battle.  There are more than 156 turns on the way to a 14,110-foot summit, over a route that lacks both pavement and guardrails.  Victory demands quick acceleration out of hairpin turns, brake and engine endurance in thin dusty air, and ample driver nerve.  In last year's Hillclimb, Jeff Zwart broke both qualifying and race records to win the HPSS class in this 911 Turbo S.  Jeff credits the car's awesome power, and the confidence-inspiring handling of the 911 chassis and all-wheel-drive system.
