Any one else driven one of these? All i can say is HOLY CRAP this little mean machine is wicked fast! It is hands down the fastest and most fun thing on 4 wheels i've ever driven.
Specs:
Its a little Honda CR80cc motor with a 6 speed sequential gearbox. It goes from 0-60mph in about 3 seconds and tops out at around 85mph. The thing will slam through gears as fast as you can pull the shift lever.
This thing makes every other kart i've driven seem like play toys. There is a kart track about an hour south of Austin that has open track days. We went last weekend and it was an absolute BLAST! It made driving my camaro home afterwards seem like driving a school bus. HAHA
Here are a few videos of us goofing off around on it.

It's been about ten years but I drove a buddies shifter cart with a CR 125 motor in it. Quickest thing I have ever driven. Spent 20 minutes doing laps in my neighborhood. Took a couple of minutes to get used to the locked diff, just realized throttle overcomes the lack of unlocking a wheel.
They are amazingly quick. Coulnt imagine one with a 500cc two stroke engine. Also cant imagine the bodily harm that would occur if it was rolled. |

That looks crazy fun.
My room mate has a 150cc shifter cart sitting in the garage with the motor half torn down. I doubt it will ever see the light of day... _________________
