Cannondale is right. The Sidewinder is not just a more powerful Viper in my eyes. It is not just a 3 cylinder with a blower bolted on. This sled and engine/drivetrain were engineered to handle the power. There seems to be many changes and a general evolution of the chassis that some others fail to see or acknowledge. Arctic Cats declining warranty claims also show this deal is not a one way street. It just irritates me that some people will criticize with out riding or even seeing the sled.
I would love to ride one. I may buy one in the future although I just wrote the first check to my daughters college of choice, so it may have to wait.
