Default Dirtwheels 1999 sport shootout!

i just read an old dirtwheels shootout between, the 400ex, the Banshee, and the sport 400. For once some of there stuff wasnt to biased. they gave the banshee the nod in the dunes, top speed, hill climbing, and drag racing, and MX. but they gave the win to the 400 because of handling, reliability, suspension, all the crap that noone cares about. the sport 400 lost in everything. i thought it was kinda cool to read though.

Ya I agree I like reading those old mags too, very interesting. It's amazing that in '99 they only had 3 quads to shootout with! Now theres what? 6 or 7?

actually my friend nick, (87banshee250sx), had found just the shootout stapled together in a doctors office, so he decided to take it. and in math class i read it. it was pretty funny, and yeah only 3 quads.....lol! now they almost have too many....NOT! we need more quads to come out, right?
