I've always beat any Predator that I came across................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

What the hell does maxim know about quads?The raptor stock is a 660?Rider weight,ability , gearing and surface or traction effect the outcome.

 

Yes thats what i'm saying.....he had a blown head gasket, go to his site, and look in his gallery....at the bottom it will show a picture, and it also will tell ya about it.

 

That has to be the best statement Ive ever heard about vs threads

By the way for those that dont use the search feature there are at least 3 pages of threads that have raptor vs something. LOL

 

So, should I take it that you are up to a tower city trip raj? Maybe in march/april when it starts getting warm again? Just be sure you want to be the guy getting smoked by a raptor on video posted here and predatorowners.com I'll try to bring a few banshee riders with me too.. Figure on coming for a few days tho. That place is HUGE!!

Why would doug run with a blown head gasket? That really makes no sense.

 

Sounds good, been beat before.....maybe by then I will have the 558 Big Bore kit in[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. Let me know ahead of time. I bet you one thing you will not smoke me....I raced a built yfz yesterday and he did not smoke me, he beat me....but did not smoke me!

 

Raj.......I wouldn't mind talking to you before you go on this "race trip"........a few simple mods might help.......you should have no problem anyway......

 

I hope ya got a little more than what you admit to in your sig if you really think it'll be no problem. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Brad, why don't you come along too? Killer riding there. Sick coal hillclimbs, technical trails that scare the bejesus outta me, etc.. Did you guys check out their website?
And no, I prob won't smoke you too bad. Weight is against me on that one. I weigh 245 now, and I usually hibernate through the winter so by then I should pick up another 20-30 lbs. Although, if things keep up this good at work, hopefully it'll have a 730 high compression craycraft motor in the late spring early summer.

 

I do know stock for stock, it would be UGLY!!! You would not have a chance. I'm not trying to be a smart @ss....but I think this tread was talking about stock vs stock....right? And I don't want to go back to this but.....if the Pred had a extra 160cc they would be nothing that would touch it. It takes a Hell of a quad to beat it now. Yes I check out the web site, looks cool. We are going to Hatfield & McCoys again sometime end of May frist of June...have you ever been there?

 

Well if the preddy had those extra cc's, it probaly have more acceleration, but not that much change in top speed, why? because a factory quad coming stock could not be faster than 75, and also displacement doesn't matter. Look at those new 450's slashing everything in there paths.
