this dude down the road has a pred and he ownt race us on our 700 cause he says it is a waste of his time. what do you guys think?? his is stock

 

I think he might win. IMO! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]Lance

 

if the dude on the pred. knows how to shift good...its pretty tought to beat....you should get a clutch kit on that 700...and you might stand a better chance against him.

 

Ive heard preds are pretty quick. You may get him off the line, but through the gears, he will reel you in and pass you.

 

get some pipes and a clutch spring and you'll walk away from him.

 

Carry a baseball bat and hit him, or a nail gun and shoot out his tires......

We were at the races yesterday and there was a stock V no pipe, a stock rappy no pipe, and a Pred with pipe. My cousin ran my wifes Z "piped" and won the class. The V and Pred were extreamely close and the Rappy was close as well. I am not sure exactly who finished where but the times on the V pred and Rappy were all around 6.2, 6.3. The Z turned out one 6.0 and the rest of his runs were on the 6.1 mark. This is in a 300ft run, but I will have to say that you should have a VERY close race.... Good luck. I know the Rappy did run one run at a 5.8 and I think the Pred had a few runs that went just under the 6.0 mark as well. Just wasn't as consistent as what my cousin was running though.

I have some first hand experience with this one. Soon after I bought my V, my cousin bought a preddy. In a race between the 2, the preddy would win by a little. Soon he bought a pipe and it was not even close anymore. By the time he hit the top of third gear, he was gone. I got tired of losing badly to a bike that was 200cc's less than mine, so I bought dual pipes and a complete Dalton clutch kit. Now the tables are turned and the little Preddy doesn't stand a chance. My cousin's talking about getting a big bore kit. He doesn't like having to eat dirt.

 

Shouldnt something that is 200cc's bigger NOT have to have more mod's to win? not bashing but I just wouldnt be too proud of saying that I had to buy a dual and clutch kit to win..... again NOT putting down the 700 but why didnt they already put in a higher perf clutch kit? Its not like it'd have costed them much more if any at all.
