What is the top speed of a stock raptor or a piped raptor? Are they faster than banshee's?

 

I don't think I've ever heard this quesion before LOL... A stock Raptor will run in the low 70's depending on variables, just a little bit faster than a banshee. A piped Raptor will run in the upper 70's probably, depending on the pipe.

 

Sorry about the question i know alot of people ask it its just i heard so many different speeds i don't know who to believe. Just trying to decide between a 400ex or a raptor.

 

if you are looking for speed the raptor is the ticket

Thats exactly what a raptor will get u to.

LOL j/k

 

The top speed of a Raptor is dependant on elevation, rider weight, how you hold you mouth, ect. Most raptors I hear about on hear run about 70-72 mph, but I have seen 3 bone stock raptors run over 75mph, with 1 running 76mph. Mine ran about 75 sotck. Most of piped ones around here run anywhere form 76-80mph, but that is with jetting, gearing, filter, ect. A good running piped Raptor will just barely outrun a piped Shee.

 

how ironic i said it that way huh grizzly. thanks for reminding me lol!

 

One thing about when the magazines do top speed runs that they are usually on dirt, correct? On pavement you are bound to get a few extra MPH. I bet that's where some of the discrepencies in LEGITIMATE top speed posts come from.

 

My 03 raptor goes 68 make me feel slow people saying theres will go 80

 

hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!A piped raptor will outrun a piped shee!!!!!!hahahahahahahaha!!!!! Not where i come from...maybe you mean a raptor with a piston, cam, and pipe..or maybe it's just your elevation...or maybe your'e just trippin J/K...i've never seen this done..a correctly running piped rappy WILL NOT outrun a correctly running piped shee...trust me i have alot i mean alot of experience with drag racing and i do alot of it...i also own a banshee which is no longer even close to stock and i owned an '02 rappy....my buddy has a rappy that ran about 79 mph piped and now it breaks 100 mph easy with a 700cc cylinder, 12:1 piston, port&polish, cam, headwork, and a whole lot of other work...and of course it will smoke a piped shee...no question about that.
