You can kill yourself on even a scrambler 50. But you control how fast the quad goes. Id say banshee, just for the simple fact u mentioned drag racing. I love mine, and it owns on any 400ex in draggin.

I would go w/ a banshee, even if you are trail ridding it is still good... I just got back from drag racing ran a 5.23 at 60mph... Not bad at all and i ride the dunes and trails... I dont think it would be to much just be careful and wear a helmet and hang on.. Its a rush like no other.

Banshee's are nice but a 400ex is less maintenance by FAR............

Definitely go with the SHEE!!! The power you can get out of the engine through mods is limitless!! The power you can get out os a 400EX is very limited...................... Then even when you do max out your engine with the 400 EX, and you think that it is somewhat descent, your motor does not hold together.... Go with the SHEE, and you will more than likely never ever outgrow the power that it produces and she will last longer with simple maintenance procedures................
