Actually, myself and the rest of the kids built it ourselves!
*Forgot to say, the suspension/chassis engineer of the GT Formula SAE team.

It has a 61" wheelbase, and comes waist-high on an average 5'10"-6'0 guy. It was entirely designed and built by students, with almost everything fabricated in-house.
It is powered by a single-cylinder 450 Yamaha engine that we turbocharged, running Motec electronics that we tuned on both an engine and chassis dyno. LOTS of fun.
