[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 17425, member: 153"] Re: Racing Go-Kart Project Hello Evan, 0 to 60mph in under 2 seconds? I'm sure it's do-able, but you're talking about a comparison of some super performance vehicles. There's velocity tables available on the web. You'd punch in your hp and vehicle weight and the results will be the time of reaching 0 to 60.... Example: 200hp and a vehicle weight of 500lbs (including driver) will net you a 0 to 60mph time of 1.97 seconds. (Auto or direct transmission) Slight changes in either the hp or weight will of course, change the time/ acceleration/ velocity. If you're serious, I'd recommend rethinking your go-cart frame and step up to some stronger/lighter material. Maybe put in a roll cage, and fuel cut-off switch, body panels to reduce air resistance and flight. A big breaking system. Lots of insurance. Good Luck, sounds like fun!
