I just wanted to let everyone know that, before smoking my belt, I raced a 400ex, and a Suzuki Quadzilla. Both were piped and rejetted. The Quadzilla had a big bore kit. I smoked them both with my stock V Force!! I can see beating the 400ex, but the modded Quadzilla!!! The honda didn't even come close. The poor guy ate a bunch of dirt. LOL!! The Quadzilla gave me a pretty good run, but just couldn't cut it. I even had about 200-250 lbs more than the Honda. To tell the truth, I expected more from both of them. Both the riders were a lot more experience than I am... LOL!!!!!

Man I really love my V, but there is no way in this world it(or any V-Force) can beat a zilla, im gonna have to raise the BS flag on that one, but the 400ex is a easy kill.

 

i totally agree with you highlifter ive had 3 zillas 1 that was built by duncan that never lost against any other quad i raced, i think that mod for mod there is no quad faster than the lt500r

 

It may have been the LT250r or maybe it was just a crappy running Zilla or maybe it just spun the tires way to much. On solid ground with a good running Zilla the V-Force will get destroyed.

 

a 440ex gave mine a hell of a run. the Vs are definately not as fast as the magazines made them out to be

 

Guys, I $h%t you not. I tell the truth when I say that I beat the Quadzilla. We raced in a, just cleared, open field. I beat him, not once, but twice. That's all I know. Why would I have a reason to lie about something like that? I could've just said I beat the Honda. I mean, really. There is no BS here, but thanks for the insult. And yes, it was a 500 Quadzilla. Believe me, or don't. I really don't care. Me, and about 10 other riders know the truth. (Including the Zilla's rider.)

 

If your interested here is a video of me on my Raptor( with mods) racing a stock VFORCE. If I wouldnt spin so much I might have gotten him off the line but anyway once I got to 4th gear he was toast. Check it out. Rigth click on it and save target as. The Raptor is on the right when your looking at the lineup.

RAPTOR VS VFORCE 3.8 megs

 

Don't have a video, but my friend tries to keep beating me with his modded raptor. His engine is broken again. Exhaust, jetting, and clutch spring really will move this heavy V in a drag race. I actually thought my V would be faster on top end when I bought it, but it doesn't make a lot of difference since all atv drags around here race at 200 ft. I usually race my friend anywhere from 200-400ft. Before mods he was kicking my butt, but he should have, he's cammed, bored, geared, jetted and now broken.
I am not a brand loyalist, but I can't help questioning yamaha durability. I once considered getting my wife a kodiak, but with the trouble I've seen with these raptors I just don't know. Then again, if left stock, they may be as good as any. I have pretty much decided to get her the Foreman-S. There's a local dealer @ $4899.
