LS3 Powered 525HP Go-Kart is the Epitome of FUN

When boys get bigger, so do their toys. While the thrill of a go-kart might have lasted for a while, the owner of this rig must have had the novelty wear off.

When he stepped up, it was quite the leap as this monster makes a terrifying amount of power, especially when you consider that it weighs just under 1700lbs.

Weighing in at 1696lbs to be exact, this lightweight platform makes just over 525hp with the help of a modified Chevrolet LS3, commonly found in a C6 Chevrolet Corvette, mated to a t-56 manual transmission.

Check out the video as we get a quick tour of this beast put together by Tie Down Engineering. We would love to see this thing in action as that power to weight ratio is pure INSANITY! Even though it’s already going BIG, we think a turbo or nitrous would make this machine shoot off of the charts!
