Karting, but different

As any respectable speedfreak, I like karting. It's light and nimble, you throw it around like a nucklehead when you're bored, and if you get in the zone and use the entire track width, you get a genuine speed sensation. Then I got the message, there are things called a "Shifterkart" and a "Gixxerkart", and even a "Monsterkart". Me wants all of that shizzle after the jump!

Let's start with the "Shifterkart", this is a guy testing his new asset and it didn't seem to take him long to realise that he needed to sell fast if he wanted to live some more.

Next up, this rather well built man probably realised a normal kart would be a bit underpowered, so he built his own using a GSXR600's engine. It's quite boring till about halfway when he gives it the beans.

This man did not have a GSXR600 laying around, only a GSXR1100...

Then there are people, well let's be exact: There are Germans who built themselves a "Monsterkart" with 172 horsepower.

Being Germans, they didn't think it was enough so they bolted on a NOS system taking it to 230 horsepower.

Ofcourse, some people (Travis Pastrana) jump these things into foam pits!
