I had the pleasure of buying a new 1988 Banshee, in stock form it would run a shade over 70 mph. I put Pipes on it, modified the airbox and used Toomey's jet ket. It really picked it up, now close to 79 to 80 mph. But, I couldn't beat a STOCK Zilla. Keep in mind this is 1988 and everyones stuff is factory new..... Not like now when the Zilla's are 14 or 15 years old and just god knows what kind of mods or maintenance has been done.
So, I traded the Shee for a new 1989 Zilla, box stock 83 mph and easier to ride in the dunes. Put a pipe on it, rejetted, 91 mph. Rode that way for almost 2 years mixing Maxima Super M @ 32to1, kept the air filter serviced and the tranny oil changes..... No problems whatsoever and it was a blast to ride. And I NEVER lost to any Banshee with similiar mods, now the alcohol burning, 4 foot swing arm monster was a different story...
Thats why I have another one today I am rebuilding. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Zilla no doubt about it. I just sold my Zilla to my brother, I bought a Canondale (slower than my old Zilla), didn't like that and traded it in on a new Raptor (slower than my old Zilla), Added a pipe, jet kit, K&N filter and modded the airbox (closer but still slower than my old Zilla), My other brother has a DS 650 with a pipe (Still slower than Zilla), Friend with 86 250R (not even close) Friend with 2001 Stock Banshee no way. And the slowest of all was a Big Gun 400Ex. I won't even mention how bad that got beat by the Zilla. Mind you this is Drag racing only on a track or other places would be a whole different situation.
Get the picture straight line acceleration or Top speed there is no equal stock for stock.
