Default 2005 Z400 vs. Raptor

Let me preface this conversation by saying I don't know squat about sport quads. I do know that a Z400 is slower in a drag than a Raptor. I wonder if the '05 Z400 will stay with a Raptor in a drag with the changes Suzuki has made?

me and a buddy just busted a new Z outta the crate and it is definetly fast than last years model and it seems like the suspension works a little better but has a lot of different adjustments to play with overall i think i like the Z's better than Rappy

The Z could keep up pretty good , but the raptor just has more displacement and is double carb. So still the raptor wins in a drag race. Though the new suspension help it handle better.

The Raptor makes like 37hp At the wheels, i think its been 37.8 or something. Plus with all that CC and carbs, a little pipe and air intake really wakes them up!
yeah! piping a raptor opens up the beast!!
