Thats what I wanted to do with my motorcycles motor after I crashed it... turn it into a 600cc six speed sequential shifting go kart.
Carb'd DOHC 4 cylinder with 10,000rpm redline... makes for a fun go kart... these guys went one step further with a 1100cc motor. crazyy.
Imagine if they used a newer motor, like one of the Honda motors with Vtec. Insane!

i'm going to assume that's a USAE cart, built by a college...
there's a competition that they have with those things, look like tiny formula cars, with bike motors and trannies...
quick. 0-60 in under 3 seconds...
most of the big colleges are into that...

It looks like one... I was involved in building one my sophmore year of college at WPI. It was a really fun expirence and the colleges that do it invest huge amounts of money. We had a brand new Ford duelie Diesel Truck and Covered Trailer that could fit 3 cars. And just other ridiculous amounts of money for the program. We use to have fun bringing it to local SCAA events and airports for testing on the weekends.

how did you do?
In the national competition we came in 11th out of like around 300 schools. The rules are tweaked each year. But basically you are scored on this criteria:
#1 The Car must cost $15,000 or under to build and you must have a written business plan on it which is scored.
#2 The car is tested for 1/4 mile speeds.
#3 The car is tested on the skidpad
#4 The car is driven by 2 different drivers from the build team on a road course and the times are added together.
All this stuff is tabulated and the give you a place.
They year i did it the rules were 760cc or under for F/I. 1100CC or under for N/A. We used a 750cc S/C motor, we did that first and then expiremented with a Turbocharged one but we couldn't get it tuned right to give us better overall performance in time for the competition.

Well the college owns it and like I said they put big money into it. They have that trailer that carries up to 3 of the cars and lot's of storage. So they keep the last couple of years cars around for parts, ideas, and to show off to the Alumni. Even after the competition we would still bring it to SCAA events cause it was fun to rip it around. I don't know what they do to the cars once they get like 4-5 years old, prob just strip them and scrap the rest.
As much as I would like to take all the credit there was 10 other members of the build team.
