Travis Pastrana beat the record by 20 seconds in a Subaru WRX STI. On his first try. Watch his Subie dance.

I drove my family up/down this road in my Mom's Crapola a few years ago. All I can say is Holy Effin Shit at that video. I was soiling my pants going 25 around a few of those blind hairpins. There is a quarter mile section that's basically just over a lane wide of crumbling ground right next to a huge cliff, with two way traffic, half of which is tour vans. I can still smell her brakes cooking, and I was in second and occasionally first the whole way down. We actually stopped twice to "take some pictures" because the brakes were fading like nothing I've ever felt, a scary feeling driving an unfamiliar POS car full of loved ones. I think my Mom's white knuckle grip on the Oh Shit handle left permanent dents.

That road makes AZ-88 look like I-10 on a Sunday morning.
