These hillclimb cars seem to have the perfect formula: a lot of horsepower + a lot of aero + forced induction = a terrifying symphony of speed, flames and turbo noises.
That first car, the Alpha? That is a good-looking car!
That particular Alfa is a 75, but is known here in the states as a Milano. Which is one of the more successful Champ/LeMons cars out there, apparently. We didn't get the I4 in that car, but mostly a 2.5l V6, some 3.0l V6's. We had one for about a year.
Awesome to see hillclimb coverage! I made a video series about my own rookie season doing scca hillclimbs in a budget rx8. Between autocross, rallycross, karting, track days, and time attack, I've never had more fun. I don't think there's anything on four wheels that matches charging up a dangerous mountain road on cold tires against the clock. There's the pressure to perform immediately of autocross with the speed of time attack, with more danger than either.

That GTR is totally biting your Lemons Fox vibe. Time for a cease and desist!

In reply to Matt B :

I'm in the midst of my dream hillclimb build:

Interesting video. Crazy wings on those cars.

As impressive as those are check out frontline single seat hill climb cars.
