Default slamfest.....raptor vs z400 vs pred

actually my name meant, 2000 blaster to beat...

i bought a 2000 blaster for 1,000 bucks and i was running the hel* out of it for fun.

I mu st say i have a lot of respect for the blaster. It handled everything i threw at it )

I would go with the Predator. I have seen the predator race a Z 400 abd the Predator wins by 2-3 quads.

and you didn't dig DEEEP for your mods? or did CT/Sparks start giving away shiz for free?

The predators are alright,They look like someone picked up a bunch of leftover fenders and just through the crap together though. Heavy as a lead sled
Call me stupid, but how much would your quad weigh with extended a-arms, better axle and better tires? Why does that make the Predator heavy as a lead sled?

Ridley, are you smoking crack? A "CT/Sparks" engine you claim to have and got it cheap? So what is cheap for you? Come on, your talking a bunch of serious crap, lets see it now.
Great slamfest, I think the Z is an awesome buy and with mild mods you can race it and win. No matter who has what on the quads it comes down to rider ability. How many actual races have you won Ridley?
The Predator is a bad *** right off the showroom floor, I hope to own one someday.
As for the Z reliability I have had zero probs! Bought mine last June and love riding it every time. Dunes, trails, and desert. I recently re-jetted mine and its a little more responsive now. It wheelies like mad and has since the day I took it home, great ATV!!

HUH???????????? If you bought your Rappy new, I figure you have at least $10 grand invested so far!!! If I invest that into my Z it would be freakin' scary fast!!! Where can I get that pipe and filter that makes the Rappy have 60+ hp!!!! I gosta have one of dems!!!!!

if you want the fastest out there for a 4 stroke you better stick to a raptor or ds650, if you want the best mx machine you better get a 250r, so far the only people i've seen that say the preds are so good and fast are the pred owners, i guess they think running by a parked raptor means they just beat it in a drag lol
