BTW your comparison sucks.... XP to the T3 is like comparing the phazer to a custom Viper. Kinda rotten apples to fresh oranges type of thing there! Just sayin
I agree! My '09 XP has been one of the most reliable, fun to ride, sled to date. I haven't rode the new T3, but from guys in our group that do have them, they look like a home run hit!!
There is a couple things that really piss me off about Doo. First, when I snow check a sled, I want it as soon as possible in the fall to start customizing it. Yet, it always seems to be the last delivered to the dealer!! Some would argue all brands do that, to me they are all at fault there. Second, every time within 2 months they are offering $2000-2500 rebates on current model sleds. That just rubs me the wrong way! Next time I'm buying off the dealer showroom instead of snow checking!
Honestly, my Viper has been a love/hate from the start. Leaking oil, improper clutching (dealer fault), under boosting, rough handling. MPI fixed the oil issue, I fixed the clutching issues (Heavy Hitters), I fixed the boost issue (Boost controller and gauge), I fixed the handling issues (ProMotion and Kiss Coupler). From here on out, the future looks bright to me
Oh ya, hate that POS track that came on it, will upgrade during to summer!
