You don't need to get so defensive guys! It is just to show the power that a go cart can make! They are very fast. Nobody said that cause a go cart is faster, it is better to own one instaed of a Vette

It cracks me up how everytime some other vehicle is faster than a Corvette people get all defensive and slam whatever it is, claiming a Corvette is better. I appreciate anything fast. Boats, motorcycles, go karts, airplanes, bicycles, whatever, if it's extreme I like it.

It doesn't even have to be real fast to be fun. My modified Honda 50 with street tires is a blast on a go kart track.

You don't even need a vehicle to go fast, you can do over 200 mph skydiving. Well you do need an airplane to take you up, but it only costs about $20 for the ride.

I suggest buying as many toys as you can afford. Push the limits with all of them and have fun.

I used to race something similar in Italy during my high school days. It would take the wind right out of you if you weren't prepared for the instant jump to light speed. That was a fun go-kart to race.
