What fun is 90 mph if it takes you forever to get there? Acceleration is fun too.

you get me to ~65mph in a hurry on a ------- homemade go-kart and i'll be grinning ear to ear.

frame 80lbs + 150lbs motor/trans/etc + 180lbs of man = ~400lbs / 50hp = 8lbs/hp
thats equal to a 250hp 2000lb civic, or a worked k20 in a gutted CRX, its gonna be sick

Huge and heavy? Do you know the weight difference between a CR125 motor and a CR250? It's like the difference between the gokart driver taking a ---- or not before he drives it. :1
