LMFAO. Spud gave me RED for that?
Where did Polaris say 155hp? I never saw that anywhere. Not arguing...just wanna know where you saw it, cause I never did.
HUH? I have several magazines and have not seen any info on this. Only the "My dcik is bigger than you dcik" threads created out of nowhere with biased individuals racing on 8" of snow packed onto a logging road.
They can't even say that it's whooping up on people on other sleds when there is only one guy that has been out everyday on his fleet testing. And those aren't stock either.
No....whats lame is the ridiculous internet pissing match people get into every time a new sled comes out.
Pick a sled...ride it...have fun......is it that fawking difficult?
Right on!
I believe he is referring to this: http://www.supertraxmag.com/article.asp?nid=1695&rez=1205&reload=true
Gotta admit, it sounds impressive.
Meh. Trail sleds and grass drags. You got guys running the old School Summit 670s and MXZs that are beating the newer stuff. Frags are all in the setup and clutching.
If peeps are gonna brag up the numbers on ANY sled, then be prepared to do it in the snow, where sleds belong. You can't say a sled is a beast when it's running on A+ traction. Grass drags will make a 550 fan sled seem like a stud.
Don't get me wrong, It's a great looking sled but it hasn't been proven yet. I'm not gonna be a basher here, I just want to see the real results on the two new sleds out this year. The PRO and the Etec
If we believed everything we read in the mags and on these sites.....XP's would be impossible to sidehill, eat belts like tic-tacs and poop cranks for breakfast.....every Polaris 800 would be at the dealer getting updates and the trails would be littered with diamond drives and Cat steering posts.
I only believe what I see on the hill which is far different from what I see reported in the magazine reviews.
They're all good sleds, one's just a little short on power this year

The Rush was STOCK when it won. That means it had the stock track and only changes were fuel/clutching. It was the only way to compare this motor to anything up until now. I'm sure there were other stock sleds there too. I'm not saying this sled is king of the hill, just that this article was impressive in regards to the motor. Not bad for 143hp.
The two MOST important catalysts to make a drag sled run good. You of all people should know that drag tuning is a very fine art. How many times has Lynn Felker whooped up on other sled at your snow drags you have at 4 Eagle every year? And he and his peeps swear that he's running stock with some very impressice clutching setups. If he truly is wasting boosted sleds then that goes to prove that clutching is key, but we already know that.
I'm not saying that the new Pro is a dog, I'm saying give it a few hill climbs in good, deep fresh powder with some honest riders. Maybe Snowest's new contest will shed some honest and non-biased reports. If it's as good as you all say it is then a bunch of peeps will have to eats their used belts. But November is too early to say which sled is top dog. And no offense against Burandt (so don't even go there) but he isn't riding what you are. What Polaris gives him is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay different than what regular Joes are buying from the dealers. Plus he's got one of the best technical tuners in his corner. So things have to be PERFECT for what he does.
PJ - We are saying the same thing. I agree everything is in setup, but my point was that the Rush 800 wasn't bored, ported, turboed, NOS'd, piped or anything else. It was all in the setup of the STOCK motor. Lynn said himself that he saw better gains through clutching/fuel than some of the aftermarket stuff.
Anyway, I agree...that sled needs some steep and deep to determine how it does. Even if the motor had dynoed at 190, the chassis could suck so bad that it couldn't find it's way out of the parking lot.

aint that the trueth,all of it[one's just alittle short on power] lmaoIf we believed everything we read in the mags and on these sites.....XP's would be impossible to sidehill, eat belts like tic-tacs and poop cranks for breakfast.....every Polaris 800 would be at the dealer getting updates and the trails would be littered with diamond drives and Cat steering posts.

Very true. I hope it all works out. Alot of people dedicated many man hours to making that sled, sure would hate to see it go to waste. like the 900.
But, IMHO. I think that 143hp is a little low with the light chassis. Even the 2008 XP was lighter (I think?) and had more oomph. And look at the skeptics when that chassis came out. And it's turned out to be a great chassis and motor. We will see if the 800 Etec pans out

Actually, I feel the opposite. It's the internet pissing matches that make this site partially worthwhile to visit. The lack of pissing matches has made this site more boring.
