Hi Guys,
I thought I'd share this funny story with you...
My buddy called me up the other night all excited. His '92 Wildcat is at his dealer getting worked on. He had just gotten back from there when he called. I asked him how the sled was and he told me that it needed a rebuild. So I asked him why he sounded so happy and he said that he had heard some "great information" while he was at the dealer. Obviously I asked him what the great info was and he said that the Dealer was praising his Wildcat, saying what a great sled it was. He said that, that was the best sled Arctic Cat had ever built (performance wise). He then asked my buddy if he had raced anybody with it, and my buddy told him that he had raced a skidoo 670 (another friends Formula Z) and it was dead even. The dealer told him that after the rebuild he would "smoke him". He said that the Wildcats were set up strictly for racing and they had a top speed of 128mph (no not kmh...MPH!!! ). I said, Man, that sounds a little exagerated to me, and he said that he believed it. Well, I didn't push the issue any further....I ended our conversation by asking him to ask the dealer how fast a Thundercat would go.
Now, I want to point out that I am not slamming Arctic Cat or the Wildcat owners. I'm just saying that this is proof that you can't believe everything the dealers tell you. I have talked to a lot of people that say "my dealer said this", "my dealer said that" like they think that just because they said something it must be true. This one deffinatly takes to cake though
Take care.
