I didn't really read that into his comments. Of course he could be passing off the truth as a joke, but I read it more as his personal wish list.


Here is the full comment from Chris, for those that haven't seen it:
ah that would be the Terra-Pro Scott… Last I looked Cat was making ATV’s and UTV’s as well, would be kinda hard for us to ‘merge’, without messing up a whole lotta stuff. I’d prefer it if we just purchased Ski-doo and half the market with it, sell off the Rotax division and ah come to think of it, maybe not..lol.
My real wish list would have, right at the top, two all new platforms with all new engines both boosted and N/A, built in our Newnan Ga factory offering Yamaha quality at Polaris price with a hundred variations covering every corner of the market. whew, I think I need a smoke! cheers man, here’s to the dream!!

2014 APEX SS with engine back by 4.2 CM in a new frame, inclined to the rear by 1.5 degree. the motor is reversed compared to older models. Air intakes on the front console and exhaust in front with output like any other on the right. Improved 128 suspension and no exhaust below the seat, in front like the other manufacturer.... increase durability slides and track. R1 engine with cam change and reducer with 183 hp and 123 lbs / torque at 10 400 rpm air. 53 pounds Ligther

Just noticed 183hp at 10,400! Can't see it happening without boost. How do you jump 30hp at the same rpm? Maybe 183hp at 13,500.

 

[Daranello]

No hp lost thru gear reduction

 

[Sasquatch]

No hp lost thru gear reduction

I'm aware of that but how do you make 183hp at 10,400? If that is clutch speed after gear reduction then its still 1,400rpm to fast for the belts to live past a few hundred yards.

 

[4x4]

No hp lost thru gear reduction

 

[Sasquatch]

No hp lost thru gear reduction

To those who do not understand a gear reduction. HP stays the same only torque is multiplied.

 

[Anatolievich]

So it will be something new ?

 

[Malibu]

No hp lost thru gear reduction

To those who do not understand a gear reduction. HP stays the same only torque is multiplied.

What are you talking about??do you really mean the nM increase?? In my head the only reason it is done is fore the clutches to take the r.p.m.!
