hey i have a 2005 660r and my buddy just picked up a 2006 700r and hes ranting and raving about how fast it is and this and that and he said he bets me when the track opens this year (march) hes gonna run at LEAST a 13.99 (we race full 1/4 mile) bone stock. i think hes getting alittle carried away with his new ride, whats the new raptors running stock or what are your predictions?

 

I doubt he will be faster than a 14.50

 

thats what i predicted, i told him mid 14's maybe, he took the bolt out of his throttle and says "it opened it up more and its alot faster" haha

 

Not a chance, sorry but a stock raptor is not going to be in the 13's. Probably high 14's. I'll even be bold and say that there are probably no stock quads that will run in the 13's.

 

I think I would have to agree with that statement.

I can't figure out why anyone would even want to run a quad on a paved 1/4 mile[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]


Dirt & sand are fer racin, pavments for gettin there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I race asphalt, dirt, and sand

 

What bolt did he remove? The thumb throttle has a plastic tab at the back that hits the throttle housing. It is phisically impossible to open the thumb lever past that point.

Let me know.

im pretty sure thats the bolt he removed because he said "it opens up more now", so looks like at the track STOCK he will be mid 14 at best and more around a high to low 15 correct?

 

i know its not a quad but i think a kx500 can get into the 13s bone stock and hit 90mph

 

Why race a 1/4 mile?????? Your quad will be topped out well before 660 ft. The last 660 ft. will just be a joy ride..........
