Banshee Vs. Artic cat 1000

[banshee_thrasher]

my friend thinks his artic cat 1000 work horse is faster than a banshee, i thought a banshee would own him but i couldnt find any videos to prove him wrong. i was wondering if any one new the answer.

[bansheejoel]

i know that can am outlander 800's rip pretty damn good. I wouldnt say it cant beat a banshee for damn sure. stock for stock the cat will prolly get ya untill top end. But i dont think its fair to say that they cant beat a banshee

[ex400]

if you just have piped banshee that thing will walk all over you. those artic cat make huge power

lol 1 liter quads... who woulda thought it.. lol

I read an article awhile back on them and Arctic cat is claiming they are the fastest accelerating production quad made. (stock for stock) I don't know, I've never ridden one.... but that is a heck of alot of motor, though!

He would tap that ass and giggle like a giddy little school girl while he was doing it.

 

This is ofcourse assuming it is stock for stock.

[locogato11283]

just run him off the road. thats prolly the only way a stock banshee would win.

Not a bad way to spend 13k. Throw 13k at a shee and it wont stand a chance. Id hate to roll or flip one of those.

yeah a 1000 has alot of power, the yamaha 1000 sled motors run 120-150hp stock depending on model, but if its a 2-stroke your lookin at around 140 minimum so yeah stock for stock I think it will take a shee

We have a 1000 Artic Cat that runs in our bike class all the time. Other than a narrow track and an aftermarket muffler box it's bone stock. A mild Banshee doesn't stand a chance against it.

Just trow $1000 bucks at your shee that will give him a run for his money

A stock Banshee would take way more than a grand to compete. That sled with a 160# rider will do low 10.30's on a good day.

Idk....

 

Are we talking $1000 all retail products, or private party purchases?

 

By avoiding retailers and buying private I did about $1000 worth of work for around $700.

 

So saying a "stock banshee with $1000 thrown at it can't compete" is not a valid argument.

you have a banshee - you have a freind with a thunder cat - go race him and come back and tell us who won.

I think he's talking about the new fuel injected 1000cc Arctic Cat ATV. Those things probably top out at 80-85 mph..I'm not sure a piped Banshee wants any of it on top end, much less out of the hole. A great rider and a great running piped Banshee might have a chance against it. Some run better than others with the same mods, thats just a fact.
