Subjective: Best looking 2003 car.

Besides our own:
N.C. State's car
Japanese car with Subaru turbo and transaxle (which school is this?)

I hear Lehigh looked pretty good http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

But UTA's car is just awesome looking. As far as fit and finish Ohio state was immaculate, and Wollongong had the cleanest looking car in my opinion.

Are we talking appearance or dynamicly?

[Daves]

I meant best looking aesthetically, but Ohio State definitely won dynamically with the long burnout.

Maybe I am biased, but I think this car looks pretty sweet... I definaltey like Lehigh and UTA for aestetics as well.

As far as quality of fit and finish... I think I could objectively nominate car #85. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I like our car but there were better looking cars out there. I think Helsinki's was one of the most unique, and good looking.

By German car, I meant the one Frank "Ruska" just posted a link to. It sounds like they didn't compete this year, but they will be competing in Detroit next year.

We will compete this year in UK, and come to Detroit 2004. Just be in the testphase for the Formula Student Event! Some more pictures!

The new wollongong car is going to look a bit different this year with the driver canopy and all

[Frank]

is that to keep the driver dry on the start grid at Pontiac?

Does a big wing over the driver's head still count as an open cockpit? I hope so....

The canopy is design so the driver can have a dry, comfortable sleep in the car with out distracts while he/she is waiting hours and hours on end in lines. its also an areo package

[Marc Jaxa-Rozen]

Okay so I didn't get to see any of the cars in Detroit, but judging from the photos my vote goes to Victoria...that car looks like it's ready to pounce.

[Pavan Dendi]

As long as every one else is showing off I might as well jump into the fray...

http://www.me.utexas.edu/~fsae/hubssmall.jpg

We were lucky to have a team member that knew how to do some mind blowing paint jobs.

I forget what university it was, but the purple car with the full bodywork that covered the rear also looked fantastic.

[gug]

i like monash's car.

http://www-personal.monash.edu.au/~fsae/24.jpg

but i dont think they will get much credit until they do the "drive upside down on the roof" thing to prove their wings.

the german's (stralsund) car just looks scary, no car should look that professional. i bet they dont even use zip-ties http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

auburns looks best in the video (http://eng.auburn.edu/organizations/SAE/AUFSAE/2003firstdrive2.wmv), but thats probably becuase Charlie has it sideways the entire time.

- if it isnt coming, you need a bigger tool.

[Charlie]

Well gug, since you liked the video so much, HERE (http://eng.auburn.edu/organizations/SAE/AUFSAE/2003firstdrive1.wmv) is more of the same. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif The driving sucks but theres a nice ending.

For better driving check out our competition video. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

You can have it! We actually thought it should have been smaller, but we couldn't quite get it there with the frame the shape it was...

Always like seeing pictures of the Monash car, it looks like it means business.

Sorry for this professional looking, next year we put some sheets af metal together and put a sticker on it.

Be carefull with your bet, you will lose it. Of course we use zip-ties. I think they are a german invention, or have anybody an idea how invent zip-ties.

Until now, I thought Lehigh's car was lower on one side for easy driver egress. However, now I see that the photo just shows the car with the side panel off.

I notice the wheels are only 3 lug. Ironic because our rookie car had 5 lug wheels, yet we probably needed them because our car weighed more than twice yours does.
