    Hey everyone,

    Three years ago I filmed this images of two karts fighting with a couple of Ferraris on a closed private track. What are your thoughts on this? ;-)

    Have a great day!

    I think it all depends on the track.

    exactly, if the track had more and longer straight lines, the cart would have no chance,

    You'll need a lot of long straights since you actually spend most of your time on a track in the turns. The only edge a CS or Scud have on a shifter kart is max speed. That's it....well and a roof and seatbelts ; )

    What kind of motor/transmission is in the kart OP? Wasn't the guy worried about being run over by a car? That would be my chief concern, but maybe he knew he would waste them quickly and never see them again.

    I've lapped in a GT car with open wheel cars and even that can be unnerving - they are super low and insanely fast - so they close quickly and are hard to see. Most tracks don't allow it if they can help it.

    I haven't owned a shifter since the introduction of 4-stroke engines into motocross, but a 250cc engine will easily do 125+ and accelerate to 60 mph in 3 seconds or less. If there are a lot of turns, I can see a shifter beating a car. Long straights would have them losing.
