[QUOTE="RandyJ, post: 1739957, member: 557626"] I would love to drive it as well. Unfortunately, we have been so busy just trying to get this one ready for competition that we have had no time to teach newer drivers, or even see if anyone can drive. To even qualify though you need to earn a certain time at the local AIK track. We had an unfortunate incident a few years back when an unexperienced driver wrecked and caused some damage. Well, when you can tilt the car on it's side at a 72* angle and have it balance itself, you can imagine what types of g's we can get into on a course [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif[/IMG] Last years car was gear limited to 81mph (gsxr motor and gearbox), this years car will top out at about 111mph (cbrRR motor and box). Second gear tops out around 65MPH, and in the parking lots here at school, we are going through our home made auto-x at the top of second. 0-60 in this car has yet to be measured, but in the 05' car, we reached 60mph in something like 3.1 seconds. This years vehicle, including all estimated labor costs, estimated machine work costs and including the price we would have spent had we not won the cbrRR motor would be around $17,000. There are schools like University of texas at Arlington that spend twice that, anually. It is a school club. Many universities across the world have the club. Formula SAE competition for ths part of the competition is in 10 days, and around 140 universities will be attending. if you attend a university and are interested, check into it. I know some places it is a course, others, like ODU, it is simply a club that you join.
