Wonder what the power to weight is on one of those... engine tends to be bigger than the rest of the thing put together.

This just in : ACC proposes huge levies for go carts.

A spokesperson on their website (www.Stophavingfunorwe'lltaxyouoftheroad.com) said today that go-cartists are a menace to society and costs in injuries alone are $678.000,000 per week and every car driver will have to subsidize them to the tune of, oh lets say $14 each, it's as good a figure as any. :angry2:

Back in the real world I would love a play on one o them. Is that a Busa engine?

not a lot of lane decipline either, whatever country it was filmed in - probably driven (geddit) by the short wheelbase - I'm sure the police, govt, ACC, crown and anyone else with an opinion will frown upon them

Might go to one of these myself, should be value for money on road user costs. Would probably come of best in an accident too.
