I've been wondering where these raptor killing predators are also... Lol.

 

The truthful answer is who ever spends the most money. Heads up stock the best driver is the fastest. We are coming with the mods, be careful, you just might get embarassed in front of your friends. never know if it's stock or not ??????

 

LOL look how old this post is - the predator beat the raptor stock vs stock no problem. Now the predator is getting a few mods. LOL just an airbox mod and it beats the piped raptor. Funniest of all is it is 160cc less engine and still winning. Man that must be a bummer to own a 660cc and lose consistanly to a 500cc.

 

WTF?????? Are you stoned? Some Predators have been made to be fast no doubt but will they beat the equally built DS or Rappy HELL NO!!!!

 

LOL what are you talking about?! You dream to much! The Predator will never beat or have the potentual of a Raptor!! Wake up man!

 

Well to just add my two cents..whats faster, a banshee or a raptor? Say on a paved street. Most everything i've seen the Shee will outdo the Raptor by a small margin. HOWEVER..owning a Pred and my cousin owning a 03 Shee, i can tell you, on a nice straight we went at it..and lets just say he saw nothing but the back of my helmet!

I love Raptors, i planned on getting one before my Pred, but it just seems childish when people come on here and start calling some bikes names and laughing at them and stuff when theyve never seen one in person work..I think alot of people on this site really need to grow up!

 

Bigbubba maybe you should refer to my first post on this topic which was I ACTUALLY SAW at my local dealer a stage 1 DS race a stock predator with sea level jetting to boot (at 5000ft). The predator flat out smoked the DS much to the suprise of myself and the rest of the dealers ppl. They sell polaris, DS and kawasaki at this dealer so they have no motivation as to which is faster. If you dont believe me contact XTREME performance center in Erie (303-833-3002).

 

DeamonDs, Mod for mod the Predator is making as much or more horsepower on the dyno, I know the dyno don't win race's. We are just pulling out the modified Pred's. you guys have had 3 years to develop the Raptor. We are just getting started, but the little 500 engine is responding really well to mods so far. The double overhead cams and superior head design are allowing this motor to make some power. I will promise you we are going to give you a run for your money. Just a couple more months, The Prototype parts will be in production, then the racing will begin. Don't under estimate Predator, It's going to be closer than you think.

 

It's just a damn shame that it's a polaris !!!

 

Yep, such a damn shame.
