I'm assuming a 125cc kart, not a Super Kart which would beat the SVT all teh way past its top speed of 140.
Obviously this would have to take place on a track or in a praking lot, but how long do you think it would take for the Contour to catch up with the kart? Could it catch up in a 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile?

A real shifter cart could beat any car in a race.
They have a power to weight ratio somewhere along the line of a Saturn V rocket. 
I remember some being tested at ridiculously fast 0-100mph (I.E. faster than any sport bike)
They pull well over 1 G. One model was like 2G's 
2000 SVT #674
13.47 @ 102 - All Motor!
It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

They're definitely not faster than your typical sportbike, but plenty quick. Might feel even quicker than a sportbike seeing as your butt is about 3" off the ground.
Wicked handlers though.
I'd love to have one.

I have a 100CC Yamaha KT-100 kart that I think would beat my SVT up to about 60, but then I start to run out of puff and gear. I think eventually the SVT would catch up with a 125 shifter, I just don't know how long it would take. More a mental excersize then anything. Usually my kart stays right with my car because I strap it to the roof to bring it to the track.

I have a 125 shifter cart with a blue printed motor and the works. My roommate has a 2002 R-6 street bike. My go-kart is a hair faster than his bike in accelleration and turns. Top speed of course goes to the streetbike. Gokarts are fast as @*&!.
