When I was 15, I had a go kart with TWO 600cc Honda engines on it. They were engines I got from wrecked motorcycles. :) Needless to say, this go kart would go about 100 mph, and would go from 0-60 in about 4 seconds, if you could get the traction. That's about 200 hp on about 400 pounds. The power to weight ratio was unreal. My Mustang had about 410 hp, and weighed about 3000 pounds. :) Slate
