2010 M8 not so strong.

[Teth-Air]

I guess the fear is over that the 2010 m8 is now being reported in Sno-goer magazine at only 150 hp and not the 163 ponies as rumour told.

On the other hand it would have made it interesting if they could have pulled it off from a stock 800.

Ski-doo will still dominate for another year at least!

 

[Doo37]

thats great!

 

[mgdjeepster]

hmmm Ski Doo is dominating???? Thats news to me...........

 

[Alberta Boy]

That is what I originally said but some neanderthal jumped all over me... "read the friggin website you #*&%^$"

There have been several sources that have claimed 150-155 hp and not the 160-165... we will have to wait and see!!!

 

[gpcatman]

We'll wait and see indeed

 

[maxwellzx]

is it just me or has a/c had the same style chassis for along time...

seems like they need to come up with something inspirational like skidoo did

there just like riding an old tank from year 2000 with a bit better suspension

Got popcorn!!!

Someone is stirring the pot... someone that is riding a 8 year old platform...

No bashing here just saying...

dont worry arctic cat will come out with something better when the better sled (the m) gets beat. its not all about a straight shot up the hill. M series has proven that it can out preform the xp in many different catagories...

 

[REDNECK REV 827]

actually the kingcat isn't a separate chassis. they have been making that one since like 01 +/-

and what do u ride? polaris

 

[M7 man]

but different than the ol powder specials and exts. kingcat chassis is completly different the the old sleds and the new sleds. it was an upgraded chassis

 

[Insaneboltrounder/sjohns]

Bummer... woulda pushed the rest to up things

You mean like "Oldest Mountain-Sled Chassis Category" ??
just kidding, really I like em..

 

[Insaneboltrounder/sjohns]

i saw a 09 in revy... looked like it was doing well. 150hp is still going to be a fine sled.

 

[Tackbtch]

Rode a 09 M8...stock... at Bloom Peak, there was a 08 D8 stock and a 08 XP with some light mods. All sleds had the 153 and 155 and a 154 track. All raced across the flat, dead even as they started up the slope the XP and the D8 were evenly matched, the AC pulled away from them a bit. Both the XP and the D8 turned out about the same time. The AC went 50-60 feet further. All three riders traded sleds a coulpe times with the same results. Dont get me wrong I ride an 04 800 Rev and like the doos just fine , but when I rode the M8 it was sweet...for me however I am going to snocheck my 04 again for one more year. Not brand bashing it was just my observations....Dino

i got to spend 3 days on a m sled in march down in colorado...never been on one. i ride a 07 rev....if i could afford it, i would get rid of my rev in a heartbeat for a m sled. hated the chasis going down the trail, but when it came to boon docking and going through the trees and sidehilling, the ski don't wouldn't do what the m sled can do. i was impressed when i got back on my sled and tried to do the same things.

No shiit, if I had a 07 machine, I would want to upgrade to a 2010 too, doesnt matter if it is a cat, poo, or doo.

Not very picky are you ??? I wouldn't own a 2010 Poo until I seen better engine longevity from them. JMO Dino

No bashing here just saying...

not even, think about it. you have to old 583's and arctic cats powder specail first "mountain sleds". then acrtic cat went to the king cats, skidoo came out with the revs. then arctic cat came out with the M series in 05, in 08 skidoo came out with the xps. so skidoo technically took awhile before they could come out with a sled to somewhat match the M dont worry arctic cat will come out with something better when the better sled (the m) gets beat. its not all about a straight shot up the hill. M series has proven that it can out preform the xp in many different catagories...

you kinda just leave the zx chassis out i guess?
