Was you getting good traction with the 500? Your tires might be your problem to.

??????????? if anything the std. preddy would have a better chance. the gap between 4th and 5th on a tld would let the rappy by. ive raced the raptors . even raced a tld same year. the std. and the tld are pretty much the same... same motor. plastic is differ. tranny is differ. front shocks.differ. a preddy has no problem beating a stock raptor. a std preddy.

a STD predetor dosnt have the bottom end to beat the raptor, i donno what you've seen, but thats how it is, a TLD predetor is the only pred that can out run a raptor 660, the raptor 700's though, there in the lead this time around

the gap between 4th and 5th did not exist on the 04s.... they introdused it in 05...

and the stp should still spank the 660 cuz of the dohc. i think wre leaning to far forward and the tires were spining... or you tires are **** and you cant clutch...!

My first hand drag racing experience with my Raptor was always beating Predators. No matter where we raced, grass, dirt, hayfields, street. I was in the lead from take off all the way to the end. Maybe it was the riders on them, but I always spanked that ***!!

i get my info from first hand experience, 2 of my friends own predetors and 3 of my friends (includeing my boss) own raptors, and a standard stock predetor cannot beat a Raptor.
