How many HP is it pushing? 4 something seconds in going ... 33 yards? I'm just saying it doesn't look "that" fast based on that being absolutely all it is good for. Why drag race quads anyways, if you want cheap fast, build a street bike. I just don't get it.

Edit: I screwed up the number LOL fixed it

I think the camera angle takes away from the fast look of it.

Also, thats 300ft in 4.2 seconds.

Ooops I stuck ft in there for yards. I need to quit multitasking. 30 yards is what I meant.. Well I guess it is 33. I'll fix it thanks.

thomez... Drag racing a quad is a personal preference you may want to take your quads out and use it as a poop slinger in a cow field, but I won't give you a hard time about it (ok maybe I would), But still us Drag race guys put ALOT of time and work in our quads to get them to run the times that they do.

I have a rappy that doesn't turn a 4.2 but it is still fast, so you can come down to WV and line up with it if you want to get an idea of how fast 4.2 in 300ft is! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Nah, I'm not trying to give anyone a hard time. I trust that 4 anything is fast for any ATV simply because that is the fastest 4 stroke on the forum, right? The video must be misleading. I ride my ATV in the woods, and on an MX track... that isn't my personal cup of tea. All power to you if it is.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
