Go for it I am totally into racing win or lose.  Some you win some you lose you will never know till you try.  And when you spank him, do it again if it is that easy.

Believe it or not, Ive seen XC500sp's keep up with a ZR600(slightly modded) to about 90mph.

Those US built twins are VERY well built engines.  Id say better than the AC Suzuki engine. IMHO of course

That 500 Indy is a quick sled, if you get the holeshot, you should be able to take it.  Don't race a 500 MXZ though, it might be a different story.  Those little buggers run too.

okay what the heck is going on a month or two ago someone asked if a zr 500 would beat a form Z 583 and pretty much everyone said no way but when they ask if the XC 500 could beat a 583 most people said ya....the ZR 500 and XC 500 have always been pretty much equal running machines granted the XC had an advantage once it got the VEV's but now that the ZR 5 has the APV's they will trade wins all day yet the XC will beat the 583 and the ZR 5 doesn't have a chance in heck something doesn't sit right

just making an observation

Huh well me being a doo man and all I tend to want to think the 583 will win.  But then I look at the other side of the story, the exhaust valve 500 polaris is a damn strong motor, putting out about 100hp.  I never ran the polaris, but I have ran a s-chassis 583 and it was pretty even.  Stock to stock it will be a good race, but I'd say of you have your goodies working right you'll take him.
