from what i heard the new preds only got reverse, and the new DS's r lighter with the Baja rev limiter, I raced a Pred and beat it, that was bout a year ago, but they have a very fast top end, not much for off the line but kept up wit me on the road in 5th, that was before my mods tho lol

They also got a higher rev limiter now, ratchet shifter, the TLD has a close ratio tranny, and Polaris is "claiming" 50hp (we will have to see whether or not that is true). They should be a little faster than the 03's and 04"s

Faster than the raptor, believeable. Faster than the DS, nope!
