snatchslayer Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Buddy was doubling his wife, albeit they are both pretty small , blew past me on my xcr700 lol. Twice. Lol. That was 10 years ago. Hes on a turbo now, I'm waiting for decent snow before I start looking again lol. After that experience, had a bit of appreciation for cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstang Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 In 96 I watched a couple locals racing in a field, a new zrt6 and xcr 6. After those epic beatdowns I was hooked and that was the first sled I ever bought, years later. It wasn't close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least my xcr sounded cool 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexusLover Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 1995 ZRT 800, thing was fast as fuck. Buddies dad bought two of them off the showroom floor and we broke them in....literally. Blew belts on them and one motor mount in less than 500 miles. Great speed, shitty suspension, shitty build, but damn they were fast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 98 ZRT8 that I bought from the owner of the local Cat Dealer...fasting thing I had been on but yeah the build quality wasn’t so not. One day I was moving it around the shop and I grabbed the front bumper to lift and slide the sled...I ended up with the bumper in my hands when I stood up while the sled was still on the ground. 😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnstang Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 My zrt I put on the black magic pipes and their clutching, and some reeds. It ran out at 9400 rpm. Man I miss the black magic days. That sled screamed I had a DG 3-3 can too. I don't really miss the triples but it was fun at the time and great graphics those years. Cat was dominating then.

Doug Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 In 1990's we did a lot of testing by a local area that always froze earlier and normally had enough snow for lube and cooling Guy got a 1995 ZRT 600 on loan from our local dealer that was an absolute stone. Good running 440's were beating it Polaris and Ski-Doo 600's were killing it. They working on it but were never in the game with the other 600's. The 1996 production ZRT 600's ran good.

Black Magic was THE cat performance house back then. Their products rocked, and their customer support was an example for me on how we do things now. Especially compared to D&D and some of the other shops from back then 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
