    Default Briggs & Stratton Engine on a Go-Kart? Not this one...

    How about a Boeing turbine-powered Go-Kart? Yeah...I'd give it a spin.

    Lots of $ for what would be about a 10hp equivalent? I think I would want a touch more of a frame and maybe a rollbar.

    This land-jet produces over 300 pounds of thrust which will easily propel you to infinity and beyond.

    300 pounds of force, not horsepower. Loosely, in a wheeled vehicle, 300 pound is about 10 horse. You were looking at the general family, not the soecific unit on this gocart.

    I would kill the power to weight ratio on that kart.
