!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! But the rest of the car isn't included.
This is awesome, but I have no idea why anyone would buy it other than for some absurd vintage showpiece that they're trying to pass off as original, despite costing themselves tons doing it.
...or maybe there's some secret underground group of uber-wealthy who put together ideal-spec vintage racers, or sleeper street cars, and run high-strung race motors in them for some kind of elite circuit since they can afford to rebuild the motors every 400 miles.
Please let it be the latter.

850hp + vaguely Lotus-like go-kart = still less than the GT500 if cheaped out on enough.
Et voila: Cosworth Death Sled, with none of the "this has been designed properly" benefits of an Ariel Atom. Because only nancy boys want that.

"death sled". Those works make me excited.
Honestly, you'd have to put a lot of weight in a transmission that could handle the engine and a cooling system that could keep it running. More than probably most of the kart itself.
I'd love to throw this in a Ford Mustang II, and carefully hide any sign that it is a race engine. Just to piss people off.

Better: make "Cosworth Vega" actually mean something. Because Ford/Chevy brand heresy, because racecar, and because AAAAAAAARUSTYDISINTEGRATINGFIREBALLAAAAA

Skip to near the end, but make sure you watch how janked up the build is until you see the results.

This plus locost 7 (or similar) equals probably one of the fastest road cars you could build
