v-s are prtty cool. ive seen one with a clutch kit and it was fast.... faster than the raptor it was racing, they both had exhaust, jets, and air filters. then a 450r raced the v and killed it, the guy said it was piped, jetted, air filter, different sprockets, sand tires, 2+ a arims, and rear axle. these races were in sand.

My V seems to run with pretty much anything out there..... But, when it was stock and with bolt ons it would loose to some of the faster YFZ's and 450r's. When it was bone stock I would loose to my buddies bone stock Rappy when we got to about 30 mph or so. The stock V seems to hit a wall around that speed. A clutch kit fixes that. Now, I have no problem. As far as a z400 beating one, nope. I won both and the 400 won't run with a V mod for mod. I have a riding trip planned with two buddies that have Trinity built 686's. I will try and get the races on video so you all can see what a properly set up V is capable of.

Like I said before, it's all about rider ability, I've raced the same person 15 or 20 times in sand, he had a stock raptor with Haulers 22", I had stock V Force with Sand Stars 22", I beat him off the line everytime and he never caught me, he is my friend and one of my riding partners, I may just be a better drag racer than him I guess, who knows, I just know what happens when I race him.
