no.... probally not, lt's are very quick, but i have heard the quadzilla to fall apart, so yes if it rattles apart before the finish line....

 

are you kidding me there is no way a stock banshee will beat a zilla i mean a zilla has a top speed of like 85+ out of the factroy were a banshee is like 75 mayb..never heard of one falling apart... banshees suck (no offence banshee riders)ive seen a guy go up a hill and roll it over and he was still hanging on.. and i just dont care for them...if you going to buy a race quad go buy a 250r unless ur ride in dune then i recomend the banshee but the lt500r is fast

 

Well, my friend rides a 91 LT500. I had a banshee. We raced often. He would always get the holeshot on me. Those things have serious torque for a 2 stroke. ALOT of bottom end. Unless they are piped though (his wasn't) they don't have much top end. I don't know where that guy came up with 85+ on the top end, but they won't do that. With mods, maybe. But stock for stock, the race at the end is pretty even. The LT falls on it's face on the top though. To tell you the truth, I liked his bike's power better. You could almost lug at the bottom of a dune and roll on the gas and the thing just motors up anything. With the banshee your feathering the clutch trying to keep the rev's up...alot more work. The LT is huge though...you feel like your on a DS or something...definately a bike for the bigger guys out there. Oh and for the things falling apart, the older ones had head cracking problems and the water pump spinner(I don't know what you call it) would fail. My buddy would take spares to the dunes with him...they are pretty much junk. The newer ones like 90+ were better, but still had problems with the crank.

yea i was wonderin where 85 came from...heard ya can't break 80 w/it redlined...unless u have a pipe on the lt ive heard they don't have jack for a powerband, sorta like what p4 was saying...and some guy in here said he saw a guy go up a hill and roll backwards...what does that have to do w/a banshee sucking?? big deal, the guy was on too steep of a hill and rolled, nething will do that...if it were up to me to take a zilla or banshee i'd take the banshee, heard too many bad things about the zilla....never ridden one though so i really couldn't tell ya exactly how they are...
