Yeah, something doesn't sound right for the AC weight. Unless they went on a diet and didn't tell anyone.
Nearly a gallon less fuel and less oil / coolant could be a 10lbs weight weight differance without too much trouble. So with no dry weight listed for the cat we have no idea were it started.
Also the numbers there are from 2012 ... according to the * for all the HP and weight numbers.

A Pro is not 577 Wet. My turbo Pro with tunnel bag and all was 540 if I remember right.

Sure doesn't feel like it but then again with the pc clutches getting nuclear hot in 2 mins could have something to do with that
There looks to be errors in the specs...
What!!!!!!!!! Information printed in a magazine isn't totally accurate??? Yet SOME people think its gospel if it's in a magazine.
I know snowmobiler and his gramma are fishing here, but those are 2012 numbers for HP. Even if it is true that the Pro only has 143 hp, then what the hell is wrong with the sleds that have 20 hp more? They should be kill'n it!

does 143 feel like a 600?
At 50lbs lighter than the XM the chassis feels like a 440.

I like how people think if they have 15hp more they are just gonna eat anything out there. Yet the Pro is the best on the market with less hp... or maybe all the "good" riders have polaris's..
I once read in a magazine that a 1lb of feathers is light than a 1lb of bricks..makes sense if you dont think about it!

Who cares what the 2013 HP is?
Anyone who buys a sled over another based on a published MFG horsepower number is a schmoe.
Anyone who buys a sled because its a certain brand because it's simply NOT another brand is a schmoe.
Anyone who who buys a sled because the MFG advertised it was 3 pounds lighter than the rest is a schmoe.
In other words:
Buy the sled that handles the best and won't leave you stranded on the hill, whoever happens to be making that sled at your desired time of purchase. That philosophy has worked quite well for me in the last several years.

What's a "schmoe"?
Polite way of saying dumb azz.
I get a kick out of those that always cut on Polaris 800's for their HP #s. I bring up power-to-weight ratio, do a few calculations, and get amused at how quickly they shut up.
