Awesome! I love the tech in those things. That looks hot!
What is the top speed? Aren't some of the faster karts able to hit 60 in like 2 seconds? |

The 0 to 60 times vary with the gearing. On a sprint track like Reno with a 600ft straightaway, 85MPH in 6th gear.
At ThunderHill with a 1/2 mile straight and roadrace gears, about 130. Note: This is the kart that I offered free check rides to C4 Gurus a while back. |

A friend's son races a shifter kart - it does 0-100-0 in something like 10 seconds. With your butt so close to the ground, it's an incredible rush.
