'88 WAS DEFINATELY A GOOD YEAR FOR THE LT. I raced & trail rode 1 that was practicaly pulled out of the box & modified. It was really SUPER-FAST. I can't say which one would win because it's been so long & I only weighed a BUCK O FIVE back then. I had no comp. except the Quadzilla.

But, I have to say, the race would be an easier task on the S400.

Oh, I'll have to see that 93.5 MPH on the home page. I didn't see it yesterday?????

I just want to know what kind of drugs you are smokin. They must be pretty good ones if you think a scrambler will go 93.5 mph out of the crate!

Hurley radar run scrambler 400 4x4 61 mph. Most Polaris sport quads came in at about 61-63mph on a loose gravel road if the radar run was held on asphalt the speed would be about 5 mph faster. BTW Banshees won the event but Polaris quads smoked all other 4x4 and utility quads including the Grizz.

I'd say that the guy read KILOMETERS per hour not miles per hour. I know a few guys that live by me who are known to do that with their snowmobiles and quads to make them sound faster than they really are, which makes no sense to me because they make themselves look like idiots.
