not a chance for the pro against the 800 etec

ski-doo better hope polaris don't figure out how to get that extra 20HP out of their 800 cause that pro was just a little behind on flat ground with a 15 inch wide track and down 20 hp, and that's ski-doo's new engine so that's what you're stuck with for a few years. Polaris will have a new engine next year regardless to meet the 2012 standards, if it puts out the same as your etec then the etec is done. your video shows that, and every other video shows how close they are and the pro is doing it with 20 less hp that you all remind us about all the time.

I am glad we cleared that up. I didn't say the XP was better, I said the Pro will not outclimb an E-Tec. I was going to spring order a Pro, and I still kind of wish that I did, because I really like alot of things about the Pro. I wanted a sled that I can turbo, and the Pro looks like a great candidate for a turbo. I wasn't convinced that the 800 engine would hold up though. I decided to buy an E-Tec instead, and I like it for the most part. The engine is strong, and the handling is much improved from my 09 XP. Now I'm waiting for Boondockers to turbo this thing. Sleds today are like trucks today. They are all good, and they all have their quirks. You just buy which one you like.

My XP was always better on the flats but the second you pointed it up hill it was a joke. 8200 rpms on the trail or flats but point it up hill and 7700 7800 maybe 7900 if you were lucky. And I know someone is gonna say well it needs a clutch kit??? so to make this $12,000 dollar sled perform you have to put a clutch kit in it. My pro is bone stock and I would love to meet up with a bone stock XP E-tech, no clutching no can

anyone in the N. Utah S. Idaho area want to meet up and compare these 2 sleds on a hill with no tracks and no way of getting over the top?

One guy rides the Pro and then he rides the XP

The other guy rides the XP and then he rides the Pro

go as high as you can until you are damn near stuck and then turn out. let the marks do the talking and lets go have a good ride!!

Snowmobiler I think you should come down here and show me how proud you are of this XP

hmmm...close? the sled ski you saw in the beginning on the left wasn't the pro, it was an '05 doo, beat the pro by several sled lengths lol. Personally, I like the pro and even considered one myself. I hope they run and so far my two friends with them love them!

I think there are too many variables to make that statement, particularily when comparing to a Ski Doo where the clutching is a huge variable....

at the end when he turned around was right there, 5 links behind it was the only sled on the left at the end and it was red, that is what i was referring to.

my pro163 out climbed a 163 etec all day long..twice going over the top of a hill the etec couldnt make it 3/4 the way up...both doo riders agreed..on that day in that snow..the poo was better......pretty arrogant to say a pro will never out climb a xp etec...do i think the doo is junk?..absolutely not..it is a good sled..far better then the earlier xp's...just imagine how good the poo will be with the 20 missing hp?

I don't think those guys on the XPs told the guy on the Pro they were racing so they got a great head start BUT Hey didn't take long for the Pro to catch up.

Look either way you can't go wrong I like the ski doo's engineering better with their engines and tecnology especially with the new s-36 technology but when I sat down on the pro rmk, just by sitting on it it felt nice and standing it felt so much skinnier and it felt just by leaning a little it felt easier to role on its side but the ski doo gets good oil consumption and power out of that engine plus I've heard of bent a-arms and blown up engines from the polaris so either way I'm sure you can't go wrong if I had the money I would wwait one more year so polaris can fix the issues with thier first year pro rmks because from expirience new stuff usually have a lot of problems for their first year.

I have been watching a few e-techs and pro's ridding together and have noticed the the new e-tech will not straight climb in the deep with the pro.
I'm running a d-8 with pipe and the stock pro's will climb higher but .
That day in the snow conditions the e-tech's we rode with did no better than my d-8. I 'm happy but maybe next time will tell a different story.

the only way a pro will highmark a xp is if the doo runs out gas or some majical flying fairy flys down,grabs the front bumper and pulls the polaris up the hill.neither will happen so dont get you hopes up poo guys
