    A friend of mine in high school built a go-kart in metal shop, powering it with a motorcycle drivetrain. He drove it home, and said it would do about 60 mph.

    I have a 1978 Kubota B7100; 13 hp and a top speed of 8 mph. Fun to think about the possibilities of Kubota speed parts!

    Don't think a diesel would be a good option.
