First, I traded quads with a dude that had a 07 stock Z. My Z is WAYYYYYYYYYYYY faster. He really liked mine and wants some of my parts if I decide to part it out.
Second, dragged buddy on his piped, filtered, no lid EX. He is an excellent rider and I out weigh him by 80lbs. I smoked him pretty good. We traded and he obsolutely blew me away.
Last, my buddy got his bothers YFZ piped and filtered out. He beat me almost as bad as I beat his 400EX. We switched, and he was really close to me with me on the YFZ and he on my Z. I could tell the YFZ was slightly faster on top, take off is fairly close. The YFZ has a sharper throttle response and it hits harder. THe Z is much more smooth an pulls longer.
Just my two cents. The 80lbs was quite a difference. I guess I am on a diet now.
