Was just wondering, who likes to go fast, and who does http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif not so much 1000' or 1/4 mile but when your sled totally unwinds how fast, also should be radar or GPS. unit. *ALL stock speedos suck *http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif especially cats http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif *Also if your stock or otherwise,, *I have gone 115.2 on stock zrt800,, 4100 miles, with reverse http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Have gone 125 mph on a 99 zrt800, v-force reeds. *This was checked on a speedcheck radar detector, the day i did that i was jumping all over with speed it would read 112 then, 108, then back up to 125, not sure what was going on you figure it out. *I don't run resistor plugs so that might be the problem. http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif Also the day i did that a Xcr 800 did 118 and a XC 500 did 102, i was mostly impressed with the 500.

Hey zert mnt cat,I think you had better get a new radar gun,or you are dreaming .
There is no way a stock zrt 6oo long track will go 148.5 mph,and I'm sure all you tcat and zrt 800 owners will agree with me on that.

I was kidding about the 9 sec 148 stuff, My ZRT is now geared lower for more pull. I did see my speedometer touch the 100 MPH mark 3 times this season but am not sure how fast it can go. It was still pulling at 100 but don&#39;t think it can go faster than that anyway. With the stock gearing I had it way buried many times, I guess that the other ZRT owners I spoke with say that is about 115 MPH. But I really do not know, only a radar gun can tell the truth and I don&#39;t have one.

In an wide open run(a mile or better)average speed is around 110mph on GPS. *That is with a stock sled aside from clutching. *On mine it speedo showed the "T" or "I" in Arctic, so that would be off by "roughly" 10mph or so...
You should be able to get better than 95mph with a ZRT 600. *Even the new ones(which are turds in stock form) will do better than that.
