College Formula One Team
hey i just found this video on the internet. i'm currently attending college at the university of missouri rolla and they have a formula one team that builds a formula one race car every year from the ground up.
We do all of the composites and even make the brake calipers and rotors. Everything you see on the car is made in the shop. Right now we only have the chasis made and we are still have the engine on the dyno tuning. The car in the video is from last year. It'll do 0-60 in less than 4 seconds. After we finish the car we go to different states to compete against other schools. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...+formula&hl=en

After i drove i got back in my stang to go home and it made my stang feel like a dog. kinda ruined the thrill of driving my mustang. oh well, the formula car will never sound like a mustang
