DRAG??? If it is, the raptor and the predator fight for first place, leaving the Z in the dust. But if you add some turns to it, some jumps, IMO the predator will have a tough battle with the Z.

 

I don't think you have driven a predator then. A stock predator vs a stock Z400 would own w/o question. If the predator can keep up or beat a raptor it can easily own a 400

 

A predator is fast than a raptor by like 1 or 2mph. The raptor tops out at 73mph while the predator tops out at 74mph so yeah it will beat the z400 all over the board. The new predator is a sweet quad and it even has better shocks than a YFZ450 that says a lot right there. Gotta love those Fox shocks they are really smooth and it's hard to bottom them out. The raptor and predator did a battle and the predator wins. If you put nicer shocks on the raptor and wider a-arms and axle to make it less tipsy than you will be about the same as the predator. The predator came a long ways with it's new gear box, shocks, tires and more than since when it first came out.

 

The Raptor and Predator are pretty close but I give a slight nod to the Predator. Don't get a Z thinking you can beat these guys. A Z has its hands full with a well tuned 400EX with a with a good rider.......................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

it would all depend on what mods are done to each quad to see who would win
I seen all 3 win in different racing. ive beat both and have been beaten by both
so it all depends
