My brother in law has a Z with a pipe, rev box, fcr40, intake cam, he beats piped predators by 5 lengths up boxcar and by even more in the flats
A pipe and cam....my point exactly in my prior post. We could do the same w/ a 400ex..... Put a pipe and cams on a Predator and I'll bet my house that you wouldnt be anywhere near me.

And for those of you mentioning that a Z w/ pipe, cam, filter, and carb can beat a Pred....NO ****!! ARE YOU GUYS STUPID? Think about how much of an a$$ whooping the Z would get if you modded the Pred the same? Geez some of you guys are just plain flat out stupid. Basically what you guys are saying is that a Ford Ranger w/ intake, cams, exhaust.....and crap can take on a SVT Lightning?!! Ya makes a whole bunch of sense. Stop speaking your nonsense and pull your head out of your a$$'. I dont think anyone would want to spend all that money on the Ranger when they could just go out and get a Lightning!

Im not saying a Z is a POS. Cuz I dont think that at all. Im just speaking about power and speed. You guys in here seem like the typical Dirt Wheel's subscribers and I bet most of you guys could write a review or two for em....this is what I picture seeing as a future heading to an article on the cover "Bone Stock Predator Gets Spanked By A Turbocharged, Nitrous Squirting Z440!!!!" YA GET REAL GUYS.

um... calm down there a little the guy asked what the 2 quads were like in comparison, so ppl are tellin him what it takes for a z to beat a pred, letting him know how much faster a pred is.. they arent saying it for no purpose.

Im calm alright.....just pisses me off when we have a bunch of Dirt Wheels groupies jumping on the bandwagon.....particularly the ones that dont own a Predator or Z...

I don't own either one but I am more partial to the Z. I like the Z more but from what I've seen the Predator is consistantly faster on the drags, no doubt!
