Your very correct, but they seem to be very reliable in New England and
would sure be able to meet the sound requirements in New England. A lot of
people don't like the 2 stroke sound no matter how low you get the dbs! I
ask them what do you do at a Formula 1 race complain about the loud noise
they make. They say they are not the nasty 2 stroke sound that we all love!

Subject: [F500] Fsae cars as alternative
The FSAE cars are engineering exercises, some are quite spectacular and I
think it's a great experience for the students involved. I often work the
international FSAE competition in the Detroit area and the Saginaw Valley
region runs a limited (8 teams or so) competition a right afterward. The
endurance competition is about 20 laps, if 1/3 of the teams finish that
is a pretty good showing, this year the SVSU team went through 6
gearboxes, many of the teams don't make it to the dynamic tests at all
because of design/build problems or inability to get the thing running.
Formula SAE is nothing like F500.
