What's the difference?
They both cost A LOT of money
We never get to ride 'em as much as we'd like.
The more you ride 'em the more problems.
The faster the ride the more we love them.
The more we love them, the harder they break our hearts.
When you talk about other girlfriends on TY, people get angry & tell us to post somewhere else.
NO difference

I still have a $100 in my pocket for when one of these ski doos wants to run.
It at least has to have a muffler on it and a tune.
Its not worth the race if its stock. ( I might feel bad beating up on a stock sled).

Got to admit that launch control is cool and sounds mean in the video

im looking forward to racing them on the trail and lake . Most guys on skidoos are quite sure their skidoo can't be beat in the trail . Now with the Mach coming it's going to be that much more enjoyable beating them ... lolI still have a $100 in my pocket for when one of these ski doos wants to run.

I think you can make that statement about any SideWinder less tuned than yours.
At least the Blood is a Flowin' boys!
We did some drag racing on a lake this past weekend.
Not me, since my Winder was broke & i was on a 600. I'm an idiot, but i'm not stupid!
It was roughly 1/8 to 1/4 mile drag arm drop type a thing. Maybe 3/16ths of a mile to be exact.
It was 6 sleds each time.
There were 2 lanes that were just faster then the others. Some had some ruts in it.
Whoever had those lanes hooked off the line & ran away.
My old Ecotrail Winder could run everyone down at the end, but it was closer then it should be.
My point is this.
A lot of people talk.
Throw in a better lane, a better reaction time, your sneaky friend that "forgot" to tell you he threw in a tune, your arrogance and the next thing you know.........................................
..................................................you lose a $100!
All part of the fun

100 bucks is a 100 bucks! Right ladies!
Its all part of the fun.
Should be a fast sled. Two of my brothers ride the current 900t. They used to get me out of the hole due to weight transfer. After putting studs in this year they just watch me drive away and give up due to the snowdust.
I even offered to put tunes in their sleds for them since I have a flasher and skidoo cable too.

The studder is way cool but I can’t imagine the holes and lumps it will leave in the trail and on the lake by wannabe racers! It has been mentioned on a local Old Forge Facebook page already.

Kinda sounds like Dan might be considering move to the dark side lol. Lot of cool tech in new Mach for sure. I haven’t seen any mention about a factory blowoff valve? There is a discernible lag from a quick throttle input vs a stock winder but even weirder is when you chop throttle the current 900t surges ahead until the bit of boost in the intake tract is pushed through the engine. Combined with the lag it is really something to get used to if you ride a winder or an 850 doo which my whole riding group have. Sport mode in technical going is odd to say the least. I have a couple riding buds will be getting one even though they don’t like current 900t setup so skidoo’s superior marketing machine is working to a T once again. It will really have to work well to outrun my MS16 setup I think. It will be fun next winter

New Mach, very technical but I am firm believer in the KISS method!!! $20,000 for a sled. When technical breaks I guarantee it will also break your wallet! Look at there belts for $200. It’s Outrageous!!

Early next riding season will be a lot of fun. There are going to be all kinds on Doo riders itching to take on our Sidewinders but it will be short lived as once they get their dreams crushed they will disappear again and we will be back to not having anyone to race.

Pretty sure the only one on this site having a issue with the talk of competition against us sidewinder owners is you! It's good to discuss other brands. REMEMBER you are riding a ARCTIC CATWell I'm just saying nobody cares about the ski doos on this site..competition will always be there!!
