That's the best way to decide which one you like,can't ALWAYS rely on other peoples opinion! Just like buying a new car,you always take em for a test drive! OPT

I owned both the 660 Raptor and a 05 Predator 500. Hands down the pred. the 660 is tippy and handles poorly compared to the predator. I ended up putting 2+ 1 up a-arms on my 660 while i had it because i was tired of it always wanting to roll in turns.
Predator out of the box handled almost as well as the Raptor did after suspension and arm upgrades.
I personally wasn't happy with the 660. 700 Raptor on the other hand is awesome.
