Good luck with this one. lol

Why would you base your decision on buying a quad on "Fastest accelerating stock atv" ?

This will mean different things to different people! Do you mean low end, mid, high end????

For example, a Banshee has no low end at all so it is slow out of the gate, yet it has a hit in the middle that can jerk your arms out of their sockets. On the other hand, my 400EX is torquey and has lots of low end, so it can jump off the line fast but then gets easily beaten on the high end by lots of other machines.

Pick a machine first based on handling and suspension!

if you can find an LT500 you will be quick in the start.

I have owned a Banshee, Zilla and Raptor at one time and I can tell you this much, nothing is as fast as a Quadzilla, but I have never even ridden a stock Banshee or Quadzilla before.

Well the 525(510cc) KTM is the fastest accelerating motocross bike right now ,so putting the same motor in a ATV would be a good guess.
