My brother just bought an LT500 Zilla, and it has reeds, pipe/silencer, and boost bottle, and bored to 520, will it beat a raptor in a drag? How about cannondale?

Just curious, cuz we're gonna go raptor hunting soon I think!

Don't think you'll have a problem. The Zilla was one of the fastest production quads made. I had one, but didn't like it much. But, fast it is! Happy roosting.

i'm not making fun of you but that is a stupid question you posted. there has never been and never will be a stock atv that can take a stock zilla.

sorry to sound like a dumbass, but I've never seen a 250R or a 500R race a raptor.. only have seen raptors vs DS vs 400Ex. and once a 250R trike....

sorry it was a dumb question to some of you... I never knew that a stock LT was that fast.. sorry,
Jason

I've seen it all now. He acts like a jerk and you have to apologize. It was a good question. I've never seen any of those quads so I wouldn't know except to ask also. Good luck.

It wouldn't even be a contest for that piped Zilla. The Zilla will take off like a raped ape, and the Raptor rider will see nothing but a yellow speck in the distance. That is if he can see after getting a load of dirt piled on him from all the roost that the Zilla flung at him.

I see that you have "boost bottle" listed as one of the performance upgrades to that LT. I've never seen this done before on a Quadzilla. It is very rarely done on any single cylinder quad. Do you have pictures posted somewhere that displays this part?

I think he ment a Roost Boost an ignition enhancer from the 80's. I bought on for my old Warrior that didn't do a damn thing in the sand drags.
