Default GO-Kart for the Street

Well in my opinion I Think the Lotus 340R is the Closest you can get to have the "Go-Kart" experience in terms of handling and agility for the street.

It may be not pretty as it resembles an insect , but is shure good fun.

I don't recall another car that can do this , besides a Super 7 perhaps.

If someone has already posted this, sorry in advance.

the mini would certainly be much more stylish to get around in than the aluminum lotus

Yeah. First batch car. I said I will only buy it if it comes in the first batch, since I want it for the summer.

I am 10000000% with him.. The mini respons is great.. and as said some modifications to the car already good suspension and some slick tires that thing will stick to the grown like glue..

The Radical is a Go-Kart too.. only bigger.. .. I saw it in action and I can tell you it sounded great with that 205Hp bike engine rev to 11,000 rpm.
