02 ZO6 v.s crf450 kart

[Darius]

Here's some video of me racing my z06 with a 2003 crf450 go kart. Kart has around 57hp and weighs 210lbs. After about 100mph the car starts to pull it, got lots more video of the racing and the kart in Servin It Up 3.

Beat buy a go cart

How fast (top speed) is the kart? Obviously a "shifter" kart, and by the sound of it, its geared really low (lots of shifts to 100mph).

Very cool, and humbling, video.

I used to know someone who was really into karting and the top ones are seriously fast. Round a track, unless you're in an F1 car, you're going to get smoked.

That couldn't have been up to 100mph, & it looked/sounded like the Z was dogging it for the video.

Here we go again I knew someone would say this, the vette was on it all the way, if you knew me I would never do some shit like that. The car is faster above 100.

Maybe so, but that race looked too short to have hit 100mph.

I can believe it!!!! I have seem some really wicked go-carts.
Their power to weight ratio is nbelievable.

I had a buddy who used to race those before he went into sprint cars and the kart's were sickly fast!
140MPH top speed

The 250cc international ones are supposed to be able to hit 160 with the right gearbox (although they're usually geared to a max of 140 / 150).

Combine that with 0-60 in about 3 seconds and over 2.5g round corners and it's easy to see why most of the top F1 drivers started with karts.

Darius, I'm a big fan of your videos.
I'm going to make one of the Z06 vs ZX9R powered race car. It's 500lbs w/ 145HP.

[PerforminNorman]

I've ridden CRF450s. That has to be one heck of a ride. I want one. haha

[Darius]

just wait till I get the 500cc big bore kit with some head work, should be gettin over 70hp at the rear!!
