HI GUYS
 I WAS JUST WONDERING I JUST PICKED UP MY NEW 02 ZR 800 AND I TRADED IN MY 97 ZRT 800
 HAVE ANY OF YOU GUYS WITH THE TWINN 800'S RACED THE TRIPLES AND IF YOU DID HOW DID THEY DO AGANST EACH OTHER

P.S. HAVE YOU GUYS WITH THE TWINS HAD ANY PROBLEMS I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BESDES THE BOLTS IN THE BACK COMING LOOSE.

P.S.S THIS IS THE BEST SNOWMOBILE SITE ON THE NET AND SO IS EVERYONE THAT HELPS EACH OTHER

 

[HP&Torque]

You will love all the updates, and new chassis, however, your old 97 big block will walk the new twin quite easily,, on the lakes that is, or high speed road running,  

every where else though the new one should be fabulous!!

 

[SNOWBLOWN]

Raced a 800 ZRT this weekend and was able to beat this guy from the line to the top easy. The twin will win unless you meet some hopped up tweekster. I fear nothing with my 800ZR.

 

[phazerhater]

SnowBLown, what year zert did you race, and what was the distance and top speeds achieved?  Just curious.
Not calling you a liar, but it seems odd that you beat him in top end.  I can see you taking it on low end quit easily off the line and even all the way up to 100mph, but after that I would think the triple would start to catch up and walk away...

THIS IS SOUNDIG GOD I JUST PICKED IT UP LAST WEEKEND AND I AM HEADING UP NORTH THIS WEEKEND . DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW THE TRAILS IN WIS . ARE I.E. ST. GERMAIN,MERCER,BOULDER JUNCTION, EAGLE RIVER, OR DO I HAVE TO GO TO THE U.P. BECAUSE IF I HAVE TO RIDE OVER IN LOWER MI. I'M NOT GOING THERE TRAILS DOWN THERE SUCK  SAME STATE AS THE U.P. BUT A WHOLE DIFFERANT WORLD

 

[SNOWBLOWN]

No lie. 7300 rpm, needle on the speedo just clear of the m in mph, flat out for 3 miles and this ZRT was not there. It was a 98 ZRT and it suprised the hell out of this guy too. Twins Rule!

 

[rookee]

THANKS GUYS I CAN'T WAIT  TO GET OUT THERE AND GRAB AHOLD OF THE THROTTLE  AND RIP SOME A$$  AND KICK SOME DOO BUT

 

[rookee]

just moving it back up to the top
thanks for the info  maybe i will find out too someday if we ever get any frickin snow in this midwest of ours

 

[hpzrt600]

Again, to many variables here. I'll bet ANY money that someone did his own clutching or had a black magic clutch kit on the zrt800. Something was wrong with the setup no doubt.

There is no way in hell that a properly clutched and set up zrt800 will lose to a zr800 PERIOD!

Don't assume that just because you beat one sled that your zr800 will beat all of the zrt800's.

Facts are facts and the zrt800 has more h.p. and runs alot more rpm.

Next thing I'm going to hear is that the zr800 can smoke a thundercat. Well, let me tell you a little information-there is hardly any difference between a zrt800 and a thundercat when the zrt800 is clutched correctly-often times the zrt800 will run right with it and sometimes beat it.

Cant fool me, I know better and have seen and been to MANY races.

 

[SNOWBLOWN]

I don't think cat makes an 800 three lung anchor anymore. I wonder why? Could it be that all of the loyal cat owners got tired of being beat by 700 and 800 polaris twins? Yep.

 

[ZRT Sled Head]

Sounds to me like your blow"n smoke.
A 97, well lets see how fast your sled will be with 4 to 5 years wear and tear.

 

 

[97zrt800]

hpzrt600 is right I races my friends 00 thundercat with my 97 zrt 800 and we were side buy side to 100mph. He did pull about ten feet buy a 1/2 mile thought. But I was very happy because my sled still needs to be set up. Its totaly stock right from the dealer.

 

[catrules2000]

Hey snowblown, you blowin the ole crack pipe over there or what?  Pull my ### 700 beating a 800 Tripple, don't make me laugh!

 

[cjt]

It's all in the clutching,I have a ZR800 with a speedwerx pipe,and I have beatten a couple t-cats,xcr800's(many),and even Marv Jorgensons xcr800!!!! And I'm not the only one my friends xc800 has about 1mph on me,he raced the same guys the same dayno problem!!

 

[AKCAT]

This is always a funny post to read, I have heard many times about twin 700 and 800's beating T-Cats and ZRT 800's...........PLEASE I do not have the fastest T-Cats around but since 95 none of my triples (800/1000's) have been beaten by a twin. A mach yes, but a ZR 800 HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!! Any guy that has a T-Cat that gets beat my a 800 twin is a moron with a wrench. I raced a 800 RMK today and absolutely killed it, and I'm over reving for my altitude buy about 1200 rpm........

 

[rookee]

thanks guys now if we only get some snow to help us all out or maybe i will have a low mileage  sled next year ha-ha  all that i have heard sounds like my new baby rocks

 

[cjt]

I'd love to get into a pissing match with you but i seriously don't think Marv Jorgenson(Chopper City Sports) is a moron! Yes I have gotten beat by a t-cat but if you buy a clutch kit in a box I would bet I would give you a run for your money.Anyway thats the way it worked out that day.My buddy with his zr800 has the same pipe,v-force reeds,speedwerx head,44mm carbs ,ported cylinders,mtn cat cdi box,and that's just the stuff I know of, is also scrathing his head,it's all in the clutching!

 

[ZRT600MtnCat]

Snowblown, up to a challenge? NE Minnesota here I come, I have a ZRT600 that has beaten a couple 700 & 800 twins.LOL good luck.

 

[Machzzzz1]

There is no way a stock 800 twin could race with a 800 triple if the race is in a straite line.  

I hear a lot of people saying the twins can take it of the line and you may be right.  But when i see a mxz 800 take of its nothing compaired to my mach triple.  I have raced a 800 of the line and beaten it start to finish.  

I would even go to say that a so so tuned zrt 800 would still beat a zr800.  

TRIPLES RULE IN ANY SITUATION.  THEY JUST COST MORE TO MAKE..
