Okay, I have my 89 Warrior, looks like $****, runs like a bat out of hell...Don't know what alls been done, when I bought it I was told 12:1 compression, a stage 2 hotcam, and a CRAPPY ass Cobra exhaust...I don't have any places close to ride, and know nobody else with a sport quad, they all have utes... So I have no good comparison... By GPS, I hit 35 in third (about 1/2 way through the gear) in about 40 yards in my yard before I have to shut down to avoid a sudden stop in the forest...How does that sound to ya'll??? I did know a guy with a Scrambler 500 that I beat by about 2 bike lengths in a hundred yard drag, but he's the only one that could come close to running with me... Any ideas where this quad would stack up against a 400 ex , or something like that?
Speed? Power?

miamy1 im doing that from now on lol
I do know this...I got my DT175 from my dads and got it running again...Rode it around for a few days and got used to it...Then climbed on the Warrior and scared the $hit out myself...the damn thing pulls harder than my cousins CR250...And I don't have anyone with a 400EX to run, but was just curious...

Only thing about that is you gotta swap rides to see the real diff. One rider could be better than the other and that would make it drastically diff in time. And NO im NOT saying either is a bad rider but you gotta factor it in.
We can make that happen...not saying I can beat you, just curious as to how it stacks up...

me too and ill time my warrior for the heck of it! should be a easy win for ya, well over the 400 that is...
Good point...but I'm just wanting a rough estimate...one thing that simplifies it is that a drag race is 90% machine and only 10% rider... an average of 4 or 5 runs would be pretty accurate as to the performance of the machine, I believe...
Being Sunday night, it'll be the weekend before I can get to ride again.

I would have to disagree... I drag race all the time with my stang and yes if the cars fast then yeah you'll be fast to an extent. If you cant handle the power then whats the use? but its all about the start, ya gotta know how to work the clutch on a quad the right gear, ect. Not trying to argue just statin facts.

maybe we should make a thread with all these times in it i could putt dads 400 kfx my 450 blaster and roll the shee out for the first time in years! this could get interesting!
I grew up on a track racing old Chevys, also, and you're right, thinking about shifting and all...Maybe 80/20, with no missed gears...For the street bracket, where everyone ran autos, it was definitely 90/10...put it to the floor, don't red light, and don't let up until it's over...
Suprised no one's thought of 100 yd times yet... maybe we could do 100 and 200 yd run times, and post 'em up...
