ORIGINAL: OICW
On purpose built kart tracks, a 125cc can probably beat an F1 (wouldn't even fit). I've driven karts that can corner at nearly 2g, over 3 on banked turns.
Thats not even a good comparison.

An F1 car goes from 0 - 150mph in nearly 4 seconds. A go kart will go 0 - 60 in about 4 seconds

I've driven a 125cc kart before and they are fast. With the small distance that they raced, im pretty sure this was real.

...repost from a while ago but i dont know that vette seemed a little quiet and without wheel spin. yet i don't doubt how fast the go-karts really are.

thats definately real; i race 125cc shifter karts. At the new Barber Motorsports park in birmingham we raced the with the Grand-am series. we were atleast 3-4 seconds faster than all the cars there; only the daytona prototypes were faster. That guy was really squirrly at the start too.. That vette didnt sound very good tho.

ive seen this b4, the dude who ownes the kart is named Darius, same one with a SCvette motor in a 240z

that perticular kart engine was a YZ450F bike motor, yes thats the new super light 450cc 5valve 4stroke. the vette was real u just wouldnt hear it over the kart... sounded almost like it had been rejetted and had a FMF pipe installed

that vette wouldnt stand a chance in any distance 1/4mi and less, possible even further "not much tho"
