well, we've been running the car for teh past two weekends, making a few minor upgrades along the way.
the car is fast, way faster than last years in accelleration. it is as quick as least year's car in the autox, and we still have yet to finish tuning it. we have also added traction control for the accelleration event.

nice, Queen's FSAE update is: We are ******* behind schedule.
Remember to look up Queen's University Formula SAE when you are at competition. Ask for Jason.
Btw my Rx7 maybe towing our car down to detroit this spring.

yeah, take your car, i always enjoy seeing RX-7s and talking rotaries. there was a nice back FD in teh lot last year. it looked hot, lots of aftermarket upgrades.
our project manager's dad owns a company called motortrike, and he is supposed to tow our car up there in a nice 18 wheel big rig.
