The #95's inboard suspension featured dual
shocks in front and rear and sway bars that were in pure
torsion. All suspension and performance adjustments were
simple and quick. The powertrain used a smaller displacement
(400cc) engine than most of the competition; however, a better
matched induction system and advancements in engine management
permitted it to outperform the entire field in combined power
and economy. The induction system utilized a turbocharger, a
student-built multi-staged five-injector fuel delivery system,
and used M-85 fuel. Other traditional features of the #95
included a hand formed kevlar-composite seat, the UTA designed
sequential Butterfly Shifter and clutch mechanism, and carbon
composite wheels. The #95 car was UTA's seventh Formula SAE
Champion. An innovative suspension and advancements in the
powertrain and engine-management lent to the #95's incredible
performance.
