Is the zilla the fastest Quad ever?????? Acceleration and top speed

 

Acceleration i don't know... but from stock yes it is the fastest quad. Since its a 2stroke, its easy to mod and you could have easy HP gains.

 

Yes and yes.

 

YES of course because i own one! LOL. But really they are the fastest production atv. Not bad for a 18year old machine eh?

 

Why havent they made a updated 1 in the past 18 years???

 

cause they really suck even though they are fast, ever try kicking one over? id take a banshee over a zilla anyday!

 

You have to know how to kick it. I can start mine in tennis shoes. Unless you have extensive cylinder work the banshee doesnt even come close in power. Look at my picture page and tell me what you think.

 

One of the Mechanics I work with has a Zilla and he has told me many times he has had it over 100mph when he lived back east. He is the McGyver type of guy. People don't realize that a 500cc 2 Stroke is comparable to a 1000cc 4 Stroke.

 

The Zilla is the fastest stock quad ever produced. It is tough to compare a 2-stroke to a four beacuse four strokes are made for more low end torque. 2 strokes are made for high end horsepower. If a 500cc 2 stroke was comparable to a 1000 four stroke nothing would be able to keep up with stock Banshees, and stock 250Rs, or any type of 2 stroke and we all know thats not true. If a 1000 four stroke sport quad was ever produced it would be without a doubt the fastest quad on the market. Think about it the new 700R, what if it was a 1000R. If that mechanics Zilla goes over 100 mph it must have some motor work done to it or higer gearing.

 

Actually the conversion factor is around 1.75:1, meaning that a two stroke is comparable to a four stroke with a displacement 1.75 times larger than its own. When you calculate it you realize the foundation for the original 440cc four stroke limit in racing for the 250 class is based on this.
