TAG Shifter - The future of Shifter Kart Racing?

Italian Motors is now offering a Turnkey Shifter Kart Package using an ItalKart chassis and the new for 2007 TM K9 ES electric start stock shifter Kart engine. The TM K9 ES is TAG USA approved and will be run in the TAG World Championships inOctober this year. The performance is comparable to a spec Honda and the engine is (conservativley) rated for 35 HP but with a broader power and torque curve than the typical peakier ICC engines.

Top drivers like David Jurca have but over seven races on the engine without spending a dollar on maintenance according to an Ekartingnews.com release by TM. For a cost of just USD $7795 this package seems hard to beat.
