The only drag racing experience I have with a Banshee is in sand. Obviously, a ripped up Banshee is killer. But, mod for mod, I have beaten a few.

I wouldn't say I smoked them. Maybe had 2-3 quads on them.

I have raced only 1 Banshee on grass. He had pipes, filter, boost bottle, reeds, and re-jetted. I would say in a 300 Ft, I had about a quad on him. I pretty much found traction and got the launch and he played catch up. Just couldn't get me in 300 ft.

I love my 05' Predator. I owned an 03 Predator and I had my fair share of problems. I rode the hell out of that bike but, the biggest area I had the most problems with was that P.R.O steering. I had to replace just about every component twice. Never had a tranny or motor issue and the guy that has it now has had it for about 3 months and so far so goood. Yes, Polaris had A LOT of problems with there 03 bikes.

I have had my 05' for almost 6 months and have not had 1 single problem what so ever!! The 05 is super reliable. Not steering issue at all. On my 03' I had to replace everything after 3 months. So, much as improved since then.

If anyone picked up an 05 or newer Predator they will have nothing but joy.

that sound cool man, it must be nice to have a quad with that muck power, all i got is a blaster but it does good. i would like to have a z400 but its a tough choice between iot and a predator.
