The main reason I have never pushed my sled to a max top speed is I have concerns that the one ply 141x1.75 track will self destruct at speeds in excess of 120mph.

More screwing around on the lake today. Same results for Mach Z. He was running @ 7900 he said. Either the chassis robs power compared to the T cat ‘s
or it is down in power. Wish we has a stock SRX around to see how much faster the SRX was compared to the T cat . Taller gears and a 1 inch track have to be good for at least 5 mph.

IDK, but whether my winder revs 8500, 8600, 8700, 8800, 8900, 9000 or 9100, it still hauls the mail....

Speaking of dream meters, remember the Apex? Buddy of mine told me he could do 136 mph. Got him to go to local river on ice to run my Firecat at the time. Well, if his Apex was doing 136, my Firecat must have been doing 150!!! True story!! ( BTW, Firecat 118 on gps)
Yes I had to take 2 teeth off of the speedo gear on my Attak to get it to be relatively accurate...it now slightly under indicates.

My buddy just received his and he said he don't dare line up with a stock sidewinder. He can only get 105 on the speedo! His hurricane 205hp 900 from last year would run with stock winders and beat the odd one.

A misuse of a once honored name. I rode doos for decades, but think thier designers must be pants down skateboard punks. No offense to pants down skateboard punks..lol... and got replaced by transformer bots. What ugly looking stuff.

Looks like we'll have to wait longer for a true contender to challenge us.
Maybe Doo will come out with a true 1000cc machine?
Or Polaris?
Suddenly, the narrative from those who bought these has changed to 'I don't care about top speed', or 'I just want to get to 100 really fast', or 'anything over 110 mph scares me'.
Comical.

I'll bet the Doo 900R is a fantastic sled from top to bottom. It likely checks all the right boxes. Under normal circumstances, I believe the top speed wouldn't be a big deal to most.
However, Doo had to offer in a 1 year only, Mach Z package. They emphasized that this was a lake racer and charged a premium for it. The fact that it is the slowest of all 900r variants is a slap in the face to those who bought them.
I follow all the threads on Dootalk because I'm interested in the 900r to replace my Sidewinder. It will be interesting to see how Doo handles the dissatisfied customers. It is looking like they are running 2-3lbs under the advertised boost levels from Doo.
