First thing I need to say is, I LOVE the weight transfer the 05 has. The new rear skid is a lot smoother then my VIPER with the shock up date was. The cliker on the side works good too, but I still cant say it's the smoothest riding skid made. I will need more time on it. The motor is so smooth you cant tell where the power is coming from. 2 POLARIS guys took it for a ride in the field and fell in love with it. We had our first drag race this year on our strip, saterday 1/8/05 { Elvis birthday } My sled is stock, about 400 miles on it with 144 studs. My brother with the 04 F-7 with CPR clutch and air mods can pull a good 1 length on me after about 300 ft, I could beat him in a race all the time due to the great transfer my 05 has, so we had to do rolling starts so I could see where he could pull on me. It was about identical with my other brothers VIPER with CPR pipes and clutch kit. He had just a bit more on the top then the F-7, but still had a good sled length on me. I was not ther just to win a race, if I was, I would have had a lot of them. The transfer is so good on the 05 that they could not pull back up on me by the end. So thats why I made them run me on slow rolling starts so I could see how much and when the other sleds could pull on me. A 02 700 edge with twin pipes- clutched- air mods, was dead evin with me all the way on rolling starts. As the others in a race I could beat him. I was very happy with the performance of my new 4-stroke, and so was a lot of the guys. Some of them came up to me and said they could not beleve a stock 4-stroke was running with 700 2-strokes that had some mods on them. All the guys I ran with I know well, and ther sleds are set up very good. Soon I will have a CPR clutch and air mods on my sled too. If that takes care of that pull in the mid the fast ones had on me, then I will really have some fun...Gary.

I have only done a little racing with my 04 warrior but havent had a stock 700 or 800 even come close to beating me. Top end isnt even close. I dont even run studs but that rip saw hooks like it has 144 studs in it when your on hard pack. ===SRXSRULE===

Gary, I'm pretty sure that once your sled loosens up you could beat all those sleds you listed. Doing the mods you plan on will really open their eyes to 4-strokes.

i would have had a chance to race a 04 zr900, 02zr800, 02xc700, 00srx, 02viper, 03rev600 today but with the freezing rain we got a week ago, the 4-6" snow we got 2 days ago ontop of it, and no studs i couldn't do anything with the 05rx1 but spin in one spot. i have raced the xc700, srx, viper and rev before on some hard packed snow and they can't touch the rx1. i am very curious to see how it does against both zrs. but i think i'll beat them cuz the srx can beat them by a sled length or 2 and i got the srx by about 5 sled lengths xmas day. guy on the xc is a big polaris nut,(gives me crap rite now cuz my viper is out of comission for the moment) and he couldn't believe that i beat him, he rode it and really liked it.
so the studs are ordered
should have them sometime this week, but i'd like to get my viper back together 
so the studs are ordered
should have them sometime this week, but i'd like to get my viper back together I wouldn't know what to do if I got to race stock sleds. Most of the guys in my group have some kind of motor mods in them, plus clutching and air mods. Even the 700 edge I ran had to use racing gas. However, My 2 brothers motors are stock. Im just going with CPR air and clutching mods, and a silencer mod too. And that will be it. My motor will stay stock...
