'Winder motor in new Arctic Cat side by side

[stevewithOCD]

I put this in Sidewinder section 'cuz it's OUR motor. This might have been talked about already, but not in our section. I just got back from AC dealer down the street to get my track studded. The rep said AC/Textron is putting the NA 998 in their Wildcat X model & the Turbo 998 in the Wildcat XX model. This is NOT speculation, he saw the units already.

This might be showing where the Textron/Yamaha future is going. What does this do for snowmobiles....who knows. That's a whole other debate/thread that's been going on for years now. But that thing is gonna rip!

Check out Turbo Dynamics Facebook page there videos of Ben's YXZ side by side with a 998T in it running 270hp. It' running 11 sec 1/4 mile totally out of gear .

The 998t is the power plant we've all been praying for.

What's the competition going to do about this?

Can't wait to see the new YXZ then!!

Pretty sick machine. I'm back and forth on weather I'd want the CVT from AC or the paddle shifters from yamaha.

a turbo like the yam with a td tune like that makes me want this...will they make a 4 seater?

Ben' s side by side is stupid fast.

It's going to have 125 to 130hp. I haven't heard if Yamaha is putting it in theirs yet. I know Robbie Gordon has a deal with Textron & they built a Baja Racer with 36'' of travel full race ready...
