The fastest time ever run at Pikes Peak is 7:57. That’s way too long. If we removed all the curves, making a straight line from top to bottom, how quickly could a Challenger SRT® Hellcat Redeye reach the top?

Things to know:

  • Slope of 6.4%
  • Redeye top speed 203 mph
  • A stock Redeye has a peak acceleration of over 1g. Assume this Redeye will accelerate at an average of .091 g (2.93 ft/s2)
  • The 12.42 mile long Pike’s Peak course has over 156 turns

What you might need:

  • A calculator
  • The internet (unit conversions)
  • A smart friend
  • Some kinematic equations:
    • d=v^2/2a
    • t=v_f/a
    • t=d_remaining/v_f
