Goped Speed Validity

Ok, guys, did you read the goped running 100 mph? Do you believe it? I calculated to go 100 mph in the .25 mile weighing 180 lbs total you will need 16 HP. (and proper gearing, of course) Comments? This scares me b/c I figure a damn goped with nitrous could beat my car!!

Transmission: A 700R4 that has trouble handling the formentioned 350.
I believe it. I would imagine that 16 horse should be obtainable with Nitrous. I was actually guessing around 25hp when I saw the set-up but what do I know about weed-wacker engines. I think this is for real, and I seriously want to know where I can get one and how much $ I have to lay down for one.

I got you beat. How about a 250 2 stroke yamaha sled engine on a go-kart. Should be around 30 + HP when I get done. Bring on the LS1s baby.
