lt 500 quadzilla
hello guys, say just reading a bit here and i thought id show off my arm straightener. 93 hp off the crank. Anyone wanna line-em-up? 440 banshees not allowed. (c14 gas is to expensive per gal to even start my machine). Last weekend at my parents i lined up with a guy who thought he had a fast raptor....very nice looking i might add but anyway need i go on? after mid 2nd i let off to ask him if it was even worth it. he said no. it was pretty funny. Had this 500 out to rush city last year on the ice and ran a 98.675 in 1000 feet not bad for 13-40 gears and small tires.
Coming soon 88 lt 700 triple Rotax. 152 hp.
heres a pic of my 87 honda killer.

My friend had an 87' zilla with a bore kit, slip on silencer, air box lid removed with a foam filter (don't remember the brand), but everything else was stock, other than some carb jetting. He even ran a Champion plug, which was not near as responsive as an NGK plug, but did not foul as much and was more reliable. We ran the Zilla at Prairie Hill dragway about four years ago with a homemade wheelie bar and 22 inch stock type tires against a built Banshee running on race gas and needless to say the
Zilla spanked the Banshee. Granted the Banshee did a wheel stand on almost every start, so they tried starting out in 2nd gear with the revs way up and it simply bogged off the line. The Banshee just did not have the low end power/torque compared to the Zilla. Anyway the Zilla ended up running a 13.79 @ 89 mph in the quarter mile on the crappy performing Champion plug. We dropped an Ngk g series plug in and wheel spun to a 13.85 @ 84 mph. The response was just too much for the stock type tires, we needed some Hoosiers or some slicks. Needless to say, many a late model Camaro, Firebird and 5.0 owners were amazed by the Zillas performance and were constantly at the starting line standing in augh. The Zilla was later sold due to a cracked crank case, which was a common problem with the 87' Zillas. Now he owns a 400 ex with lots of mods and would run circles around the Zilla on an mx track, however, in a drag race the Zilla would spank it and any other sport quad on the market today easily, including the Banshee, YfZ 450 and the old 250r modded or stock on pavement. The only four wheeler we raced on sand was a Polaris 400 sport and a modded Honda 300 ex and it wasn't even close. The Zilla ju.st walked off from 2nd gear on and never looked back
