I'm going from the perspective that the dude wants to go fast and get thrills. Yes, karts transfer more to cars than a bike but I don't think the difference is actually that big. For one car control and dynamics are way different than a kart mostly due to the gigantic steering suspension and mass difference. Karts are more similar to open wheelers and frankly the OP is very unlikely to be driving or racing any of those in any real capacity unless he's rich.
MX will teach you more about varying traction conditions, throttle control, balance, smoothness, dealing with bumpy surfaces and taking jumps than any 4 wheeled motorsport out there, and that includes rally. I know some MX riders who are WAY better drivers than people with 10x the HPDE experience. So there's way more transfer than you might think.
