New Ski Doo 800 DI.........

[Remmy]

Go ask Ford how they can make 350HP with a 3.5 DI Econoboost V6 that has 2 small turbo's, in the SHO 10.2:1 compression. Non DI combo would be asking for issues.

Probably the same way we make 350 HP with a 10:1, 1.0 Liter 4 cylinder.

Don't forget who's Doo lost when they hit my Doo!

damn stupid nuns.....

I can assure you it's alot more boost and racegas. . Same way the EVO and mitsubishi crowd make 1000whp with a 2.0l 4cyl on a non direct inj setup

LOL, for sure, not to mention it requires 110 octane fuel as well.

Great, now there are 800cc E-Tec beer cans that I'll have to tow out of the mountains this year.. It never stops does it? Be grateful I own a cat or you guys would never get out of the mountains on your own..

Nope and never will......all i see is $$$$$$$$$$ Kinda funny my sled cost me 5500 brand new in 05......and for an old tank it still holds its own.....tows sleds good too!!

Isn't it crazy how sled prices have practically doubled. I bought a 2002 800 Mtn Cat brand new in the fall of 2002 for $6,300. It was a leftover but still...

Everything is getting ridiculously stupid expensive!!!

Go price a new 450 dirtbike, better yet price a side-by-side!!! You can build one hell of a Jeep or FJ for what a new Ranger or Rhino costs.

Now we will be able to build a slightly used turbo (any brand) sled for what a new one will cost.

Hmmmm.....Let's see, a new 800r DI or a M8,D8, Nytro turbo!!!

Aint that the truth. I had an old Samurai and I rebuilt the motor, swapped in waggy D44's with lockers, install kits, all new bearings and brakes, T-case gears, new shocks, shackles and shackle reversal, wheels, new 35" TSL's, ect. ect. I think I was still under $6,000 in parts(including the Sami) when I parted it out.

800 Etec...yay! Itll still handle like **** unless they take it out of the XP chassis, haha.

And you had a radio, heater, real seats, etc., etc!!!! That's what I'm talking about!

The price of these new sleds is getting to the same ridiculous point of the side-by-sides!!!

I saw a Polaris Razor at a dealer this summer for $21k!!! I about pooped my pants. It had some add ons but holy sheot that's crazy.

 

[AkSummit]

I dont get where these manufacturers think all these people with money are?

Seriously at $13,000 a sled ($4,000.00 more than I bought my old summit new for) how many people do they think will be busting down the door?

I would rather spend $5,000 considering the fact that new or used I am going to have to work on the damn thing...

 

[Winter Project]

DI is the right direction but I bet retail will be $13,000+ for the 800. Anyone want to sell their 2010 at the end of May for $6,000?

I was thinking about selling mine. I think something is wrong with it... for some reason it rips super hard!

 

[AKboondocker]

The reason they keep boosting the prices is because noone really goes out and pays 12 grand for a sled. They rely on banks for loans, like alot of us, and until banks stop giving out loans to any joe on the street, sled sales will continue to go up along with the sticker price.
