fun ride....i would think 8 is a decent time...it weighs nothing and a turbo 13b w/ nos is always a happy motor..even if you need to rebuild it every 200 miles

I read that as 8 second 0-60, I didn't notice it was for 1/4 mile until I opened the link.
OMG 8 seconds?!?! That's insanity. Does the go-kart offer enough protection?
I know if your car runs sub 11? then you need a cage. But this is a little tiny thingy on 6 wheels hitting 8s
I want!

It's transverse mounted. Nice!

Man, rotary engineering went out of business over 10 years ago didn't they? I've got 7 of their rotary glasspacks and they all still work.

They may have went out of business a while ago, but the guy that owns the business still answers my emails about racing parts.
