Default Modded Banshee?

Is a banshee with +A-arms and wider axle, and a few other suspension doodads gonna be much faster than a stock banshee? I know it will handle better, but is there enough weight loss to make a difference in say a drag....against a piped rappy?

I don't think that suspension mods will make it much faster(wight loss)
maybe good tires would give you a better holeshot......but not make you faster......
and a stock shee will not beat a rappy with a good pipe.....

I would think wider a arms = more steel = more weight. And even piped vs. piped, a shee won't hang with a piped rappy.

Shee's can be unpredictable I would never make a money beat against one, A stock banshee one week doing low 70's and the next week with a sproket change and pipe kit it's now in the 80's plus what ever else they do don't admit to becuase it hard to tell examples are milled heads and port work.

The wider you are the slower you'll be in straight line drag.

but you might be faster due to the fact that you are getting better traction and getting more power the the ground.jmo

If your weight ratios stay the same, there will be no difference in the times turned in between two banshees with equal motor work and one simply being wider than the other. It doesn't make more or less traction, just a better ride across terrain.
