Deephaven Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I assume you didn't see the other thread. Looks like the "mighty" 998 just lost it's podium for fastest sled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Really interesting. Just not sold on the tippy Polaris chassis or their terrible track record with engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_zrt Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Probably the stupidest race I've seen in a while. Good luck finding a stock 998 and keeping that poo motor together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it beats a stock winder that means it will lay the dirtiest fucking gape ever on that piece of fucking shit skidoo 900 Gayce motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that race/video clip stupid because, stock for stock, the Yamaha powered engine was so far behind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of tuned winders out there....I’d bet on close to half of all sleds sold having been tuned if the numbers were added up. Not too many people buy a 560lb sled to leave it stock.

Not too many people buy a 560lb sled to leave it stock. Oh, I don't doubt there's plenty of people out there throwing tunes at sleds but I would put a fair wager on the percentage being less than half ... in fact, I'd say well less than half. You're forgetting there's plenty of people out there who just hop on a sled and gas n' go without caring how fast it can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Kitty Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Who at speedwerx has a stock winder? Cool video anyway, gets the adrenaline going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 If the production sleds run like that and stay together, home run. But I won't be a first year buyer of that. I got fucked with my 800 one year out of warranty, and won't do that again. Besides, I bought a giant turbo charged couch for next year.

I rode my son's axys 800 a few times this winter and that was the first thing I said after I rode it for the first time.........it just feels so planted.

Guest Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I wonder if we'll see a return of Hot Seat Performance?? Sounds like they loved it and with the textron situation might be a good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the front end in this machine. And I'm not even saying it's the best out there, all I'm saying is calling it tippy is absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
