I've always loved the sound of a 500cc two-stroke. What was the fastest stock atv ever? Was it the Quadzilla or Banshee? What do they both top out at on top end?

I have a old Atv Action and they said that the banshee tops out at 77mph and the quadzilla tops out at 79. But the quadzilla could easily made to go faster with little mods and gearing.

 

after i had all my mods done , i got with the neighbor (highway patrol) and did a full out run . topped out at 120 . gears were 14 - 40 . that was a f-ing trip !

 

gonna try the snake river?? hope your not on a Z you know the frames are a little weak hehe

you wern't wearing those melting pants were you? you were wearing some real race pants (leather?)right

120 pretty damn fast you gonna do it again?????

 

after i clean the stain out of the kevlar !!!!!!! it was a rush . could hardly see what i past !!!

 

Im not saying that you are lying, but please explain to me how you are getting 120mph out of a Zilla. With the 14/40 gearing that you speak of, you would have to sling the engine to somewhere in the neighborhood of 15,000RPMs, which just aint gonna happen, either that or you have 30in tires, in which case you wouldnt be able to pull them. May want to have your friends radar calibrated.

Most stock Zillas with stock gearing will do anywhere from 75-80

My 89 with LRD pipe, 41.5 carb, 14/40 gearing and cool head would do right at 89mph.

I did a post about a year ago where I wrote about a drag race between my raptor and a friends 89 Zilla, ill see if I can find it and repost it.

 

agreed

 

This may help u a little, I posted this about a year and a half ago and just copied and pasted it, but the numbers still hold water.Enjoy.





I am not biased in this comparsion, I have owned, and do own both of the afore mentioned quads, so here goes. My Raptor was set up with complete Big Gun exhaust, Pro design filter kit, JTM +4.5 swingarm extension and a 14 tooth front, at the time it would run 81 mph at 14.66 in the quarter mile. 89 Zilla, bone stock down to the air filter, pipe, carb, ext, stock gearing, but with a new clutch. race was run on asphalt, this eliminates tirespin and gives a more acurate comparison than dirt or sand. As anyone with a piped Raptor knows all to well it is almost impossiable to keep the front end down on any surface that gives any traction, the swingarm extension allowed me to dump the clutch and spin the back tires,while keeping the front end down, the Zilla will spin because of the nature of the 2-stroke, and the greater front end weight. After about 5 races, switching riders, holding my mouth different, ect, the results were always the same. Both quads would leave equally out of the hole, the Zilla would put about 6 bike lengths on the Raptor through the gears, but after the bikes topped out they were running almost identical MPH, this was confermed when the stock Zilla ran a 14.34 at 80 mph at the drag strip, so the Zilla is quicker, not necesseraly faster. We did numerous test, 1st gear roll on, in which the Zilla murdered the Raptor, and 5th gear roll on where both bikes hung right beside each other, so In summary, a piped Raptor will not out accelerate a stock Zilla, but will run top end with one, considering you have a 14 tooth front, few months later the Zilla was equiped with a CT pipe, K@N filter, Boyseen reeds and 1 tooth larger front, and, well, Im not going to even go into that one, you educated riders out there make your own decision.
hope that helped guys

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

Maybe it was 120 KPH... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
