have any of you looked at the Skidoo dvd that was sent out with the latest Snowest magazine? It looks like they went out of there way to make Arctic Cat look bad!

Since when does anyone have to go out of their way to make a Cat look bad???

Since they can't build a sled that is as uber good as AC.. Muahahaha
Yeah, and any other manufacturer would do the same thing to their competition!

same could be said for any manufacturer
07 M8 ran like an average 600 with factory specs, spend a little time clutching and it's a different sled, still won't out run a strong XP in those conditions. Add 4 foot of fluff then it might be a different story.
Take the $ you saved not buying an XP and add it to the M8 and say goodby to the XP's forever
Better yet extrapulate how much $ you'd purchase in belts alone (145 bux a pop?) /30 mi per belt and you could afford a Tbo + fuel and lightweight mods for the M sled in approx 2 years!
Stick that in your bong and smoke it

My favorite part was when they ran through the stutter bumps. All other sleds (non doo) were run through @ 1/2 throttle while the XP is sent through at WFO. Good Comparison? Think not.
At least it could have been a blind comparison kinda like the Coke/Pepsi commercials.

Check out the Boon Docking comparisons. I could not believe what I was seeing. I then replayed it and watch closely how much more of the rider"s shoulder and body is in the snow on the Skidoo. Then watch the rider switch directions in the middle of the figure 8. The rider casual switches directions on the Artic Cat and then agressively throughs his body the other way when riding the Skidoo. It would be cool to see several independant people do the test to see the results.

I thought the SNOWEST 800 shootout had the Dragon as the overall leader with AC and Skidoo having their individual area's of dominance. I believe the M-8 lead in sidehilling and boondocking.

I watched it once and then threw it on the floor of the truck I do agree dosnt matter what the chalenge but the xp would beat everything. We all know you could have the best sled made that weighs 350 lb. and has 300HP. and you still couldnt climb hill if you cant handle the sled.

They're just upset that Cat was "king of hill" at Jackson last year.

It says it will make you a better rider, But I know I can still hit trees with it!!!

really you guys think it was rigged?
the brake must of been locked on the m8
what a bunch of horsesh!t! It is hard to belive they would try to persude people based on that lousy production. I wonder who they think their market is.
We should all mail them back to ski-doo.

I agree that was a ridiculus attempt at marketing. But if the rev chassis would take care of the M8 then I know it will be no problem for the XP.
I had to think that Ski Doo must think that Cat is their closest competitors to go out of their way to make them look bad! What a Joke. If they sell any sleds because of that video I hope they don’t buy a Cat because their stupid!

Funny that they didn't talk about how Cat abused them all year on the hill climb curcuit and made them look like 2nd rate school girls, by winning over 60% of the classes. And for what it's worth the M8 out performed there 800 last year hands down. The proof is on RMSHA website, where your see the M8 with MORE wins. So if the M8 is dosen't run like there video would have you think, what does that say for them??? They better have something for Cat this year cuz last year they were stomped ALL YEAR LONG!

do you mean lake racing? LOL
S
all i have to work with is running across open fields right now but i am going to the mountains in 2 weeks with 3 07 revs 2 05 revs and 3 m8s so i will know more then. skidoos are very good sleds but i think every on has been to hard on the m8s. the guy that i raced can beat all of those other skidoos ever since he put his pipe on.

What killed me was there hill climb; nothing more than a hardpack drag race up a slight incline. Lets try that one over in two feet of soft powder!
