last wendsday i had the great experience of mixing boose with inddor go-karts. it was fun, im still recovering from that

to sum up this argument - turbos are cool for the "broom- woooshhhh" noize and n/a are cool because of v-tak and 200k rpms lol

Hey Nortad, if your talking about electric go karts, the indoor ones. Just to let you know, they max at around 35 ish if the people dont quark them.

The gas powered 2 strokes do 0-60 in 4 seconds or faster and top out around 100 + mph if the gearing is good. The fastest you'll hit on a track in so cal is 84 ish mph so its like accelerating in a vacuum I imagine.

I'm going to check out the kart im going to buy tomorrow so I'll try to take some pictures and post them up for you guys in the pictures section. It's a 32hp kart. Eventually I'll try and get some video for everyone on the boards of my races maybe.

I'm going to go with the miata... While I was running at VIR this weekend in my F2000, there was a race group of Spec Miatas running as well. Those little pieces of shit are fast as hell. Most of those cars were street legal, with minimal mods like the convertible top gear removal, roll cage install and interior stripped. With just those few bits of work, the podium finishers were only ~15 seconds per lap off our formula car times. For a street legal car, thats pretty f'ing awesome.

Miatas are fun when you tune them to handle real well. With slicks on and a lightenend body they can do a lot of damage given the power they are putting out

No, no it was a gas go-kart 200cc. remember this is conservative country, we dont do gay stuff, thus no electrics go-karts
