Have you ever been indoor karting?? Most of the indoor karts can go up to 40 mph in a good straight.. With this being someones toy, I dont see why it couldnt be made to go that fast with a 5 hp motor.

Looks about right. Compare to a shifter though...that is a different story.

A race built B&S 5hp motor will make 15+hp and rev in the 6-7k range so I would say that is real. It does not look any faster than the karts I see at autocrosses regularly.
