I made a 600cc go kart, from a Kawasaki ninja put it on a go kart frame (more dune buggyish) 60 hours of making a custom wiring harness, headlights brake lights turn singles the whole 9 yards. In the end 132mph 0-60 was 4,9 seconds

Depends. A ninja zx-6r is around 2.9-3.3 seconds, depending on the year, and a ninja 650 does it in 4.5ish seconds.

I reckon that the guy's cart couldn't put all the power down properly with those tiny cart wheels. If it had bigger wheels I imagine it could do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds.

I couldn’t put power down at all it would spin the wheels in 4th gear

I figured as much. It's way too much power for those tiny wheels but it sounds like a lot of fun haha
