Now I know its an opinion that everyone is entitles to, but that thing looks like a back yard " I had extra **** laying around" go kart. with a little imagination you could build something similiar to a ariel atom and something far more pleasing to the eye.

Id start with something smaller, like this.

thats exactly what i like about it. an affordable, featherweight car, completely custom built, that bruises a lot of egos at the race track.

but, I also think it looks great, but the most important thing is the light weight
