The new seat fits right on the 2005 m and up and retails for $300.

It doesn't say it puts out 160 hp, it says a third party got 160 out of it. BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!

You are right but with a new pipe and lighter crankshaft I would hope they could get 160hp out of it. Seat time will prove if it does feel more powerful. Hopefully cat still does the snow demos the end of this season on the 2010's like they did last year with the 09's.
why couldn't they have put the new 800H.O. in the race sled?

17hp? I believe the 09 was listed at 145hp and I think dynotech dynoed it at 147 or 149hp. An slp or speedwrex single and air box mod gets you to 160ish without spending 11.5k I snow checked mine last spring I got the boss seat so no worries in that dept. AC's web site stated the new seat dropped 3.2lb from the sled, I assume that would be as compaired to the old style seat and not the boss seat. So the only other weight drop would be from the crank, I would be curious how much that actually is. Either way the 09 and 10 will be within a couple pounds of eachother. From my point of view if someone was looking to upgrade from an 05-08 sled it would be worth the jump, if you own an 09 not so much, very few dollars get you to what is offered on the 10. I give AC alot of credit though it is a good lineup for 10 considering the economic times and they did address a couple issues (MORE POWER and BETTER SEAT)

I think I'm in for the M8 153 Limited. 
I like the Limited black better than the Sno Pro white. That choice also settled my track length decision = 153. Only question remaining is, who is going to give the better deal?

Looks like Arctic Cat did more then anyone else. I'm impressed with the upgrades for 2010.
I think the race chassis with a 500 is a weird call. Why not 600 or 800?
Polaris literally did absolutely nothing but change colors.
Ski Doo looks like a shock and suspension recalibration but nothing major there at all.
Yamaha stepped up and added some stuff to the Nytro. Did a lot more then Polaris did!

I think your wrong there, they upped their price. ahaaahhhhhaa
10of15 pro class wins at afton not bad cat, can't anyone find anything else to complain about the new cat's. They didn't need to do anything I love the 09, but the improvements are all heading in the right direction.

I was only refering to the mountain segment, not really interested in the flatland sleds. Don't beat me up
I have been lucky enough to be around this seat a little bit, and I love it. The entire bottom of the seat is storage. The compartment is 3 times bigger then the old stuff. The height is very comfortable, whether on the trail or going up the mountains. My opinion: Its AWESOME!

Who cares about short tracks?

good to hear the seat has some storage...will it keep stuff somewhat dry?
I never keep much in my 08's seat because it just gets wet/frozen anyway.

XP'ish in the weight department, better ergos, the most powerful 800, nice graphics, and the best damn powder chassis in existence w/ the best powder track.
Who's got better ergo's?
Have you rode the XP? I fell in love with the XP chassis but couldn't get comfy on the M(08 M1000) however I loved the '06 M7 and the way it felt. Just couldn't flow with the handlebar set-up and feel of the 1000. I want to try the M8(haven't yet) to see what it responds like. I've got quite a few miles on the XP but loved it from the first time I got on one. Made the '06 M7(That I've loved since I rode it) feel outdated and inadequate.
Opinions on guys loving/hating the XP vs. loving/hating the M Chassis?
A Cutler Turbo M8 is what I'd be interested in. Chassis would be left stock(diff. skis) but that's all. Hoping to ride a 08 M8 here in the next few weeks(dealer around here doesn't normally sell mtn sleds)

I will chime in here. I came off an M series with a lot of mods (suspension, twin pipes, clutching, boss seat, riser etc). It was well set up. I went to an XP this season and it does make the M series look out of date but I still think the M series is a better carving and sidehilling sled when set up properly. I like the XP ergos but I am starting to miss my last sled. The XP seems to climb better but doing downhill carves and tight tree carving has to go to the M series in my opinion. The standing position on the XP does however feel much better than the M series. That is something I really have a hard time dealing with on the M series now. Feels slouchy and low. Even so I would buy another M series even after going to an XP. Each have their pros and cons and each will fit people differently.
here you go fresh from the show
