2007-2009 M-8 Help (moving to green)

[mr.machine]

OK guys and girls, No bashing just want the basics. I need your green blooded opinion. I am A Doo guy (was)..... But have heard great things about the Cats. I need a new sled and the pricing is awesome on the AC M-8's. I want a 162. Here are my deals:
2007 brand new M-8 162 $8500.00 cdn or 2008 M-8 154 with 400km for $7500.00.cdn.
My question is what, if any are the differences between the 2007 to 2009 M-8's. Any opinion is a good one. Thanks in advance.

I would definately buy a 2009, I believe they are supposed to be 15-20 lbs lighter than prior years due to the electronic reverse. Also have a better track than the 07-08's, a little nicer tunnel also.

The 07 has the old "sprung" rear skid, the 08 has a fox float rear skid which is far better. They both have a challenger track (stock) and mechanical reverse.
The 09 has the Powerclaw track which is far superior to the challenger and has electronic reverse (engine runs backward) The rear of the 09 tunnel is finished much better than 07-08 sleds. Those are the big differences, the engine of all three years is virtually the same and easily improvable with a SLP pipe set.
Hope this helps ya!
