Wow there is a direct drive and a 660 turbo, I'm impressed!! The thing I like the most is having an ext option (extended track). Then you can just get the sled you want with a long track instead of having to get a different model to get the long track.

Looks like the 120 is going to end up like the Kitty Cat, unchanged through out it's existence. ??? :(

That would be David Hasselhoff. Michael Landon drove a horse and buggy in Little House on the Prarie. :) Hopefully that was your joke.

My God I love the new hood & headlights on the turbo 4 stroke. Why didn't they use it on the ZR 900???????


Oh yeah, and about smartride being gone... I say good riddance. I can now say with 100% certainty that it is a crap suspension and Cat knew it all along. :angry:

I think from this angle the T660 turbo hood resembles a viper. Thats not bashing it though, because I like the looks of the viper! :D

Well, some good, and I guess some bad.

It's nice to see the updates to the 900, this will be even more of an awesome sled now. I would consider buying one, except with it being the last ZR, I think the writing is on the wall for it's future too. As a consumer thinking about future resale value, you don't know what the hell to buy.

So much for thinking Cat would have much more appealing 2-up cruisers. I thought the current Panteras were ugly...the new ones look like they took one to a metro auto shop and had a "gold" package slapped on it....what the hell is up with these color schemes? Kinda makes it hard to have a Cat jacket that matches a couple different sleds.

It's nice to see all the Firecat options...makes the line a lot more versatile. Seems like customers can get decent-powered sleds without getting to the "screw-me" insurance rates. I just hope the F-chassis won't be the only choice for a performance sled from Cat in years to come.

The revised 4-stroker is a welcome site, even though I won't be buying one, yet. But I really thought Polaris would have their turbo on the market first. I'm not sure how Cat thinks this will compete with the RX-1 for the 4-stroke purchasers with having a lot less power....I guess it's price and weight will be a lot less, making it competitive. Either way, it's good to see a lower cc performance 4-stroke option.

I guess I will be waiting another year to replace my ZR, unless I stumble across an unbelieveable deal on an '04 ZR900EFI!?!?!?

Those gold panteras should be called "GOLDMEMBER" and have the dutch flag on the side!!

I think the '04 lineup is very cool. I just wonder why there's no direct drive on the 1M or Firecats? Doesn't make sense to me, but there must be a reason. Other than that WAY TO GO ARCTIC CAT!!!



Do any of you remember the guy on here ranting and raving about an F1... 1000cc firecat?!?!?!? He said that he already had a deposit on one. Guess not... HAHA.

Well after looking at all the new sleds I decided I am more than happy with what I have. Now I just need to find a Direct Drive Kit for my 900. Those new graphics are......uhh........interesting. :sarcasm:

RAD RACER 38X
02-25-2003, 05:10 PM
COOL!!!! I think the direct drive thing is awesome. Is it located right under the clutch??
I dont really mind the new graffics. there pretty cool I guess.
I'd take that turbo over the RX-1 in a heart beat!
still not the best looking but a million times better then the yama huh!

did ac drop the 800? if they did that is bad. BUT if they did drop which i think they did theyll probley becoming out with a midseason machine next year. Dose anybody smell f8 or an zr 800 with direct drive b.c i do

Jim85IROC
02-25-2003, 07:08 PM
I suspect they dropped the ZR800 because it no longer serves a purpose. It's only a few hp under the ZR900 and slower than the F7.

The only 800 offered is the Pantera EFI,no more ZR8, and Sabrecats come in 5, 6, or 7.

The t660turbo uses the same bellypan as the ZR you could add that hood to a ZR with no problems.

PowderBoy
02-26-2003, 07:57 AM
I noticed that myself.... I think that a sharp looking hood

I'm sure you could, but by the time you buy the hood, instrumentation, electric speedo conversion (I assume the new speedos are electric), headlights and windshield, you'll be way over a grand before you even get the spray gun out.

Just awesome!!Black `n Black 6`er looks like the replacement
for the 711 ,p.s cheque out the D.D. web site for H.p.rating
showing 120`s +++.As I said before seen one ice race and was
impressed for a stocker.
