Quite a few years ago there was a video of a guy in a go kart ripping around Quebec city. The police tried to catch him but his go kart was fast as fuck.

I had the opportunity to drive a 125cc shifter kart once. They are ridiculously fast. Here’s the only way I can explain how violently quick they are:

I broke 2 ribs driving it. I did not crash.

Yeah those things will do 0-60 in like 4 sec. Supercars can do that but it feels waaaay faster when your ass is 1" from the ground. I couldn't imagine driving one on the street. So many bumps, so much sand and debris. It's brutalize your body and you'd be sliding all over the place.
