damn! The rzr 900 has competition that could very like kick its ass. We'll see how reliable this wildcat is though

Don't know.....Artic Cats always look good on paper but fail to live up to expectations in the real world

@imsroll And when you see the suspension in action it's not nearly as controlled as the XP.

@somekid908 the 900 has been tested and proven, this cat looks like it would be a beast but its power to weight ratio is shit next to the 900. i'm guessing in a desert environment this would be outstanding but 900 will still win if you like the dunes per say, don't know just my outlook on it.

@SCROGY Wow! What great memories. Jilles Villeneuve on a sled! 

[SCROGY]

@ATVTVCOM My dad raced for a Cat dealer in Oshawa Ontario in the 1970's: Pine Ridge sports. They were a Cat dealer on HWY 2 (King St) bewteen Oshawa and Bowmanville. There are still some pictures around of the Kawartha Cup from Peterborough and still many of the old trophies. I can still remember the ear shattering sounds of them working on the (mod) sleds at the dealership. I would have been about 2-3 years old. That was when Pete Derocheres and Jilles Villeneuve raced.

@SCROGY Good points, although I wasn't thinking about snowmobiles, I did a piece a while back on the founder - amazing guy! Trailing arm rear suspension I remember well - in fact I think it's still a better setup than IRS ;-) First front a-arms might be questionable - but you proved your point my friend.....well done!

[SCROGY]

@ATVTVCOM I'll name three:

1) First company to make what is currently the modern snomobile design: front engine layout BEFORE Bombardier

2) First company to ustilise trailing arm suspension: Trail Cat

3) First company to utilise A-arm front suspension 1987 El Tigre

That's as far as I know. If any of these are wrong feel free to correct them.

@SCROGY Name one !

[SCROGY]

@plummcrazy58 Fail? Hardly.  Arctic Cat has probably had as many or more ground breaking developments than anyone else.

[SCROGY]

@plummcrazy58 What? Maybe you need to go look at the sno cross results.

[ATVTVCOM]

@Bob67755 I'm pretty much with you on that ;-(
