i raced my friends xc 700 from 50 mph up, he couldnt get by me, is this normal for a 600 triple cat to run this strong? he has SLP twin pipes and v force reeds. if i race him from a dead stop he will take me by 1-2 sled lengths the whole time. this seems to be pretty good for a stock 600 triple he he he SWRules

Umm. how did you put twin pipes on a triple? Really though, I had a 97 ZRT600, and they ripped for a 600. Drop your stock gearing and you will be a giant killer, but if you leave it stock, you will have an amazing top end in the right conditions.

One more thing, get your heads worked; Cat left a lot on the table with that sled as far as compression goes.

It was the 700 POl. that had twin pipes. Let me guess the 700 twin was more than 3 years old also with a deeper lugged track I would bet. I turned 95 mph with a 97 Zrt 600 in a 850 foot radar run and won over 700 twins from Polaris, although my 670 Doo turned 98 that same day. Better clutching in the Doo though.

Thats one good running ZRT my buddys 97 ZRT 600 had a hard time with 02 and 01 Polaris 500 sp twins all stock. Also if any one needs parts this thing got totaled during Christmas and he is parting it out. Let me know if you are looking for anything.
