Geez I saw three Predators yesterday at Tucson Motorsports, I think they look awesome. But I do think the front shocks are a little stiff. Might be able to back off on the preload. I love the width and the low center of gravity, a lot like a Raptor with a +2 durablue, A-arms, and the linkage flipped. Even though the shocks might be a little stiff, and hopefully can be adjusted, they still have to be better than stock Raptor shocks. Add that all up, and the higher sticker price of the Raptor, that's a bunch of dough!

I agree Fourlix, I drove it, it felt at least as fast a stock Raptor with a little less bottom end. But add in the fact you don't need to buy a-arms or rear axle or new rear tires and it's 500 less MSRP. I think I'd pick it over a Raptor.
