Default "The Race Car"

Some of you may know about the race car, some of you may have seen me mention it. Well, here's the scoop.

Formula SAE car: 600cc yamaha enginewith an eaton M24 supercharger strapped on it that has to breath througha 20mm restictor (size of a nickel.) 85hp (53 lb-ft w/95% available from 3,000 [idle]to 11,000 rpm)at the rear wheels through a customLSD,head machined to be put on backwards so the supercharger sits on the bottom side and the exhaust comes out the top back side. 0-60 in 3.5 0-85 in 5 seconds... top speed is 85 since there's onlythe first three gears in itto saverotational mass, the other ones arne't used inthe mostly autox racing we do. Magnesium bits for weight saving, all aluminum hardware. Weighs in at around 475 lbs.

Everything on it is custom built by a bunch of my friends and I've just been helping them out with the electronics and they let me drive and things. Custom made traction and launch control, F1 style shifting etc. I think the only real bought prats on it are the calipers... everything else is custom.

Questions?

Hm, there is one of the 0-60 run somewhere, I'll try to track it down.

Remmy: That engine spinning at 11g under 12psi of boost with no sound restriction is all the noise you'll ever need in it. It definitely sounds the part of a race car.

Here's another pic while I look for videos...
