The fastest time ever run at Pikes Peak is 7 minutes and 57 seconds. The course is 12.42 miles long and has 156 turns. If we removed all the curves, making it a straight line from top to bottom. How quickly a car reach the top if:
Your cars top speed is 203 mph
Has a peak acceleration of over 1g but will accelerate at an average of .091g (2.93ft/s2).

Forgot to note. Traveling at a 6.4% slope

what difference does the slope make?
Starting from zero, v = at
so, if we peak out at 203 mi/hr (297.73 ft/s) it will take 101.62 seconds
The distance traveled at that point will be s = 1/2 at^2 = 15128.5 ft = 2.87 miles
At the top speed, the remaining 9.55 miles will take 169.44 seconds
Total time: 271 seconds, or 4 min 31 sec.
