z400 vs 400ex vs raptor660

Moto - Its all good! You see things one way, I see them another. I agree that most everyone else would agree with you too but I would race your Z if you were close enough ( but only if you had nothing more than a pipe)..........[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Btw, how does your Z compare to your 440?
Zakk - Either one of them is an excellent choice and you'll have a blast with either one..........[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

My 440 runs about dead even in a 300ft drag as a STOCK raptor. Typically the 440 will get 1st thru 3rd a bit faster and then the raptor comes back. It beats the Z by a little bit. Actually this is only when the weather is just right do to jetting, when it is real hot or cold it doesn't run as good.
Zakk, I wouldn't drop the ex from your choices, if I was going to just trail ride I would probably get that.

Yeah man it would be fun to race, but it really doesn't matter who wins anyway. (Unless it is a sanctioned event! J/K) I would just like to ride with some on here for fun and see some faces.

Pick any one of the 3 quads and you'll be happy with it, IMO..

khen, I have a low-mid range cam, I got it set up for more torque than anything. I run just regular 93 pump gas in it. If I used a different cam or changed the gearing it would be a better drag bike, but that is not what I have it built to do. I ride mostly track and trails, drags isn't important to me. Even if I was going to be a drag racer, the ex isn't the bike to do it with.

IMO the 660 raptor is junk compared to the Z400. The Z will out perform it in just about every category. In fact they did a comparison of a Z400 vs. yfz450 back in 2002 > https://atvconnection.com/Features/A...0-shootout.cfm The newer Z400s have better shocks now.
Now, if you want to compare to the 700r raptor that's another story but the Z400 is still a great all around quad. The 400ex is a good quad too but IMO it fall short of the Z but would be good for a newer rider.
