Well I took a 1000xtz Arctic cat for a demo drive at glamis this weekend and it felt like my wifes 800 Rotax cat. We went out for a little ride in the small dunes and its got good torque and rides way better than the old cats. It comes with a little better shock setup. So after our ride I told them we should race the 800cc Rotax Cat at the drags. Well I found john and the 1000xtz and we had a few races. The first two races I could pull away from the 1000xtz, Then we dumped his passenger and raced two more times and were even until the top end of a long run and he can pull me by 2 cart lengths. If my wifes Cat didnt have the rear bench seat and the four seater cage and full ice chest we would probably been dead even.
Either way it doesnt make a **** bit of difference that thing is fast for a factory stock unit and theres nothing gonna touch it. My wifes 800 Rotax with stock nobbies will beat my friends paddle tired Rzr no problem. So if when the 1000xtz is out and paddle tired up it will just run away from anything out there. All it will need to be really fun is long travel susp.
