i like the ramp idea, see how fast you have to be traveling to jump on top of the school. lol. but as someone said already, you might hit the first jump andland wrong. that wouldprobally mean game over for you.

RE: Good idea for science with my car!
As I have said and many others suspension settup is not even close to being easy, or basic. There are so many variables to take into account, also you can take into affect tires, side wall size's, ride height, toe in and toe out, camber, so many things. You can also test with the wing on and wing off, how about a mini wing for up front cant find one make one to Plant the front end down and test and re-test. add weight and to strategic places and take weight off at strategic places. How about larger and smaller shock piston size and such things like that. You can add caster if you can do this, sway bars, shock limiters and beside what's been said earlier in this thread, this is all that I can think of.
As you see we have come up with a ton of things for you to do. There's a ton of things that you can do, change and change some more. If you got to work and did all of the variables here that we said, you would be busy from here to mid april, whih nobody could say that you didnt work your butt off doin all of this. But it's your choice, I hope you the best and I hope you get an A or whatever they give you for a passing grade down there in aussie.

I think getting one of those superchargers for nitro engine would be cool. You could see if it really improves dyno test runs or not.

How about effects of %nitro on accel, top spd, mileage, cost of operation (mileage/fuel cost), and eng temp. Simple, yet requires considerable testing and you can easily eliminate variables.
