Busted out the sleds today

[Russell 350X]

We had about 5inches about a week or so ago, had the Big Red out doin donuts and stuff, having a blast!! If there was more I wouldve got the sled out!

The new 04 sno pro looks pretty hacked up I think. They had to cut up the hood to make the new seat and bars work. It's cat's version of the rev (rider forward positon)

I think the 03 and 02 kill that sled in looks. But hey lets see what it rides like

I'm sorry, but Arctic Cat is regressing....their sleds suck! I started with AC, but have watched the fit and finish and quality go straight down the toilet. The F cats are fast in a straight line, but suck anywhere else. The ZR will out perform the new F's anyday. Ski doo has stormed the world of snowmobiling with these REV's. I now am a ski doo rider, and don't plan on going back to cat. Maybe someday they will pull their heads out of their butts and get with the program. Maybe Honda will come out with their sled soon?? That should make things real interesting.

I'm sorry Kimmer,but they don't. I'll take your REV and eat for lunch.

Anytime you want to run that joke, I mean arctic cat, against my rev on the trails....you let me know. Believe me, from an ex-arctic cat rider....the rev WILL embarrass it. You wouldn't be the first AC guy saying bring it on to me. The AC guys are always the first to take offense that their F cats aren't the best in the world, but it is the truth. I've proved it once, I've proved it twice, I'll prove it again. If cat was the best.....I'd be riding it. I've beat the F5 (which is a JOKE!), and the F6 in a straight drag and beat both. The F7 however is a different story. It had me by 2 sled lengths in straight line, but could beat him in the trails. The F7 is probably the quickest 700 cc sled I have seen for lake racing. I believe it was even beating the 03 800 rev, but I know the 04 800 HO rev is stomping it. Look at Haydays....REV #1 in all classes except the 700 stock class that ac took with the F7. Even the dealers at leaders say that the F cats aren't the greatest, and that the rev is pretty much the best sled out right now. I'm sure over the next 2 years you will see alot of changes to the F series and laris to try to copy the rev. It's evolution, but in the end, the consumers (us) will benefit by having better sleds.

[84250r]

I could care less what you have beaten. Mine is not a joke. I have put many of your REV buddies on my no good list. You will be just another one on there,no biggie. I wont spit and trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro,ill just snowflake your face and your pretty hood.

P.s. Im just sitting here with a full belly of turkey,laughing at you. I doubt we will ever meet,but if we do,im up for it .

[kimmer250r]

So whats this BIG BAD arctic cat that you ride?? I wouldn't mind seeing a pic of this SO CALLED rev killer. But most likely, your another F cat guy crying over the amount of money you wasted. Sorry for your misfortune...lol.

P.S. Dooing the same belly full of turkey thing as you. LMAO

Nope not crying,only the women can make me cry,BUAHAAHAH

I've never owned a Firecat ,and probably never will. I have a zr 800 and a zrt 600.
You can just call me Santa ZR/T,as your being bad right now,i will still bring presents.

[kimmer250r]

Now see, I gave props to the ZR's because thats what I used to have..The zr 800 will beat my 600 ho...won't beat it in the trails, but straight line you'd spank me. The zrt, won't beat me though...not stock vs. stock. The 04 800 ho will take the zr 800 though..now, the only thing ac has going for them is that damn ZR 900...that thing still kicks ass! As for my posts, I was talking about the new F cats being trash. I hope AC doesn't do away with the zr series all together. I think that would be a bad move on their part.

[84250r]

I DO have to say,Arctic cat has been letting me down some(i think they just need to fire the odd balls). I do like my triple,thats to bad they let'em go

As for Firecats,wellll.... will just leave at that. LOL

I agree the f-cats fit and finish is a joke. Our local polaris/doo/cat dealer has a brand new f6 and I was checking it out and I couldn't believe how much stearing slop it had. I rode a pair of f7's last year and they handled lifted a ski in every corner and the tool pouch under the seat is right in my crotch. :evil: The only cat I would look at is the 900zr. My dad has an 04 rev 800ho with a dynoport single, tempa flow, cudney clutching and 168 studs and in the drags we did a few weeks ago it didn't look good compared to my piped xc 7. Once his loosens up it should be about even since both sleds are 145+hp, and with my weight advantage being taken up by his sled weighing a little less than mine. I can't wait to see how they compare in the trails though since mine a quite a few suspension and handling mods.

[kimmer250r]

Hope you ride your dads rev in the trails this year dyno....I think you'll switch over to one when you get a full day on one. I have not seen a sled take a rev yet in the trails. It's like being on rails! My salesman at my dealer sold his F7 due to the 10 recalls and the fact he couldn't control it through the trails. He ended up getting the ZR900 and he loves it. He said he would rather ride a rev in trails and big bumps, but his whole house is done up for arctic cat...lol. Each manufacturer has good points, but ski doo finally hit the bullseye. Hope we all get some snow soon, I've been riding around my house and the lawn is looking rough.

[Dynofox]

I've got the doo precision skis and ad bovin front end kit on the front of my sled and it rails in the corners. Those dual runner skis work great other than in really fluffy snow.

I bought an MXZ670 brand new in 97. It was a 98 model, and the wife bought a ZR440 brand new leftover 97. We rode everychance we could get. Then for 2 winters in a row, there was no snow around here and I had sold my trailer. Plus, we did not like to go somewhere where we were always getting lost! When she got herself pregnant for the second time, we sold them. I really want to start sledding again, and a REV 800 is what Im looking at! She is still a Cat lover, but me, Im a Rotax fan through and through.
