Looking to beat a Jeep
I bet my friend that i could beat his jeep in a 1/8 mile race in a golf cart. First, is this possible, second, how would i go about doing it. I have an old model (1997) gas club car. It is all stock. How do i get the fastest acceleration and beat his jeep. It is a 01 grand Cherokee, with a V8.

Re: Looking to beat a Jeep
there are MANY engine swaps. look under the big block section. if you have fab skills, you can pretty much put anything you want in a cart, depending on size, of course.

Re: Looking to beat a Jeep
put a street bike motor in it. that might be able to win but it would be highly unstable at those speeds.

Re: Looking to beat a Jeep
Listen guys, I own a Grand Cherokee, and your not gonna beat it with any reasonable cart conversion. The darn thing makes big traction and goes like snot. A cart turns 1 wheel in anger trying to haul itself down the road. It's not gonna happen.
And BTW, what part wasn't nice Cakes? I don't get it. |

Re: Looking to beat a Jeep
Here's what you need to do if you want to beat this guy. Buy an old Suzuki Samuri then stuff a 383 stroker in there. Pull the body off and put the golf cart frame on top of the sami. It won't really be a golf cart anymore but you will win the bet.
