Big Red Camaro at Pikes Peak // 1000Hp Muscle Car - Onboard & Fly-By
The "most famous Chevrolet Camaro in the Planet" has competed on the 2017 edition of Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, only after a year of almost burning to the ground while trying to compete on the Iconic event.
Powered by a 555ci Block in Naturally Aspirated form, capable of almost 1000Hp, this Muscle car turned #HillclimbMonster was raced by its owner RJ Gottlieb to a very respectable 11:08.857.

Here is Big Red Camaro in all its 720p HD glory at Pikes Peak 2017. Enjoy ;)
I have been following this car, or should I say, the concept of this car since the Gotlieb's were chewing up, and spitting out the competition in the Nevada banzai runs in the late 1970's, early 80's. The 69 Camaro has always been the one car I would love more than any other, to own. The closest I ever came was a 1970 Firebird.

No kiddin man me too, I've been a camaro guy all my life but this car has been the one I go to bed with in my head
Nothing sounds better than a heavy breathing naturally aspirated beast ❤🔥
An amazing ride! Saw it years ago when it was in Laughlin, Nevada. Looks much nicer these days. What a car. Nothing like the sound of a big block V8.
This car is beyond legendary and proved muscle cars can keep up with euros and jdms if handled properly.

Strap me to the roof. Take me for a ride. Love Big Red.
bowtie badassery at it's finest
Glad to see that beautiful beast gets to shred here in Colorado!!!! Love how that car sounds!!!!
did it go up the mountain, or did it simply grind the whole mountain down flat with its massive power.... awesome !
perfectly tuned and aligned! masterpiece of engineering.
I could watch this all day!
Awesome footage of an awesome machine and driver
ended up leaning into the corners in my chair, intense ride

When I first saw this car, I didn`t imagine it racing at Pikes Peak lol, kudos to the team ;)
One badass Chevy
Really nice sounding Camaro, not a easy car to mussle around those tight turns either. Looked great from inside too gives you a better idea of the speed, it’s defiately no slow poke.

WONDERFULL ENGINE.
That is one badass '69 Chevy, Go Big Red!
RJ and the Big Red Camaro. If I could own one competition car this what it would be. This car can do it all. Flat out in Nevada, Standing Mile, Road Coarse, Hill Climb and Bonneville. I don’t know all the numbers, but I believe this has posted speeds of 254 mph. Notice it still has chrome bumpers and rain gutters as designed. If your interested theirs a good inside look at this car on Hooligan You Tube channel. Long live Big Red. 🇺🇸
The sound of the rear end is awesome
Before people go saying musclecars weigh too much blah blah, even in its stock form the 67-68 Camaro z28 only weighed a little more than 3000 lb, let along the weight cut from this thing.

Love to see what the time was and speeds in cove and ragged. Looks like rough is rougher paved than when we raced on it in the dirt. Smooth. Pays to know the road.
I wanna see this at Bathurst!
Greatest Camaro in the world
The best muscle car
The only thing that would make this better is a telemetry shot along for the ride.......amazing!
I love big red, makes me want to ride along with the driver to feel that power !

They say you cant bring a muscle car for hill climbs. Well this guy still do it and smash it. Damn that car is stable! Other than the heavy steering due to lack of power steering. The car handles the road pretty good.

Liquid Swordz Gotta agree on that one, an old Camaro that can do something else other than straight line racing IS SOMETHING ELSE.
Took my 2015 Sonata 4 cylinder with 4 adults up the same road to the top...91 degrees at the bottom and sleeting and 38 at the top. Going back down with a full car and a small engine for braking was not great and we had to stop a few times due to hot rotors.
That car must have a custom seat to accommodate RJ's giant nuts.

Like RJ said , He could of keep chopping away at it!
This car can also be found in GT7
I, like Ken Barr, have been following Big Red since the '80's. Go git your prancin' horse, boy -he's gonna need to eat magic oats to touch this American Hot Rod!!!

A really fine car, awesome engine, but man that's was slow as hell compered to the other cars. I really doubt if this car can produce enough downforce to race it again, in a serious way. That run was more of a show-off. The pilot was very careful on the throttle all the time (props to him because he didn't let the rear end fly away not even by a second). With an better body kit, i think it would perform way better.
I'm amazed at the number of idiots in this comment section who have no clue as to the greatness of this car!!! This car is the dream of so many gear heads across this country!!! People this is "Pro Touring Number 1". This car is a legion!!! Keep Rocking!!!

This car rocks! I am FAR more interested in cars that can be driven on the street and get to the Peak slower, vs "hyper" or "super" cars that do nothing but race and get there faster.
Definitely needs a different ratio steering box and a different steering wheel.looks like your driving a Kenworth.
@bigredc222

It's manual steering, no power for less weight, if he changed the ratio so lock to lock was less turns, it'd be a lot harder to turn.

props to the driver, altho i think you could have gone faster...you let off the gas to soon, and dont down shift enough, keep the rpm high into the corners, drop that extra gear, and hammer down once 3/4 through...loss of RPM is loss of seconds ;) joking aside, mad skills. where is this and how do i get there?

I’m sure they know how to set it up for pikes peak. The car has also hit 260 mph with a different engine. One of if not the best Camaro ever. Virtually started the pro-touring movement
