I'm actually not sure what it is.. I was told it was a "boost bottle" I am really not sure.. I will check it out though.. and in a few days I'll snap some pictures of everything...

Like I said.. I'm totally unfamiliar with them, and I didn't take that response very hard, I just really had no idea how fast a zilla really is.. I mean 500 2 stroke sounds wicked... but I dunno..

thanks though.

Jason

in the bomb forum they are saying that a DS WILL beat a zilla. some of them i believe because their quads are pretty modded but there are some stories that i just don't believe.

Stock for stock, the LT500 would slaughter the DS or the Raptor. Both the Raptor and DS are just over 71mph, the Zilla was clocked at over 79mph. As for adding mods to a DS to beat a Zilla...never happen! For that matter, a little 250 Tecate4 had a top speed of almost 75mph, the Tecate4 will beat the DS and Raptor, and the Zilla has twice the motor of the Tecate4.

Two strokes respond to mods much beter than a 4 stroke, for example: if you add a pipe to a DS and get 5hp, add a pipe to a Zilla and get 10hp, that is a losing battle. If you are going to mod the heck out of the DS and leave the Zilla stock, that is not even a fair compairison.

The article that has the top speeds of the LT500 and the Tecate4 is at:

I bought a quadzilla about a month ago. It is completly stock and it will outrun mine and my friends raptors about the way our raptors outrun our 400ex's. I cant imagine what it will be like when I get all of my planned mods done to it.
