Its just freindly competition. Isn't that why we buy these things? I think most quads are somewhat equal in their own class. I've had more time on a Predator and they're fast but I don't know if you can say its faster than a Raptor. They've always looked pretty equal to me. I would like to line them up on asphalt................

Use the search feature. You will find topic after topic with 100's of replies over this issue.

And DW is usually full of bs, so you can't rely on them 100%.

Chandler just showed how much he know's. The Pred will not beat a Raptor in a flat drag race.

Did you ever race one stock for stock? If my buddy would ever get on here he could tell you how many time I have beat him, and I have 80 more pounds on him also.....and I'm not any better rider then he is. I beat him time after time.

i think your rappy speeds are a bit low, more like 77-78 for rappy, not sure about pred(never ridden one)

No sir..Consumer Product Saftey Commision says no "stock" quad can travel over 75 mph..thats why they dont make your Zilla anymore..you would have to put a 11 tooth countershaft sprocket on it to slow it down to 75..can you imagine an 11 tooth sprocket?? You couldnt keep the front end down!

Hehe.. I'm just kidding. Also, I suspect you'll have a suprise for me by then.

Doug is a predator dealer, right? Have him do the work. Should stay under warranty. Or just spray.. Any problems, take it off.

top speed don't make it automaticaly faster...it's about who gets to their top speed first letting the other guy see his cool tail light...lol...1mph you'd have to race at full throttle for an hour to get 1 mile away from him...1 mile isn't that far after an hour

if all three are stock bikes ive got a 01 black ds650(stock)and ive beaten pred and raptor off the line and on top end not by much though just like one bike length. but a pred beats a raptor if you take same rider same weight same size everthing. the pred will beat the raptor.
