These results are pathetic period. Yes today's sleds are lighter and more comfortable but as for ET's and MPH they plane old suck! I don't want to be bashing anything but seriously bring it on. I will put my T-Cat and XCR against any of these sleds. I was at my local dealer yesterday and was very impressed with the look of the new white 600 & 800 Dragon. So impressed I almost convinced myself to buy one. I was told with very few mods they were rockets and have hit 108 MPH on snow. Unfortunately I will have to stick with my old dog suspension triple cylinder 800 sled that can still beat the snot out of these new 800's and 1000 cc sleds on the lake and in the 1/4 mile. I guess deep down inside I wish my XCR looked and handled like a new Dragon but also wish Polaris could build a box stock sled that would beat my XCR. But dreams are dreams and we all hope one day they will come true.
Cheers
Aftermarket company D&D showed some of their newest trail and lake racer sleds at the Adirondack Shootout.
Woodgate, N.Y. - AmSnow was back in New York this year as the official media outlet for the Adirondack Shootout. AmSnow started this event 19 years ago and with the help of Jim Czekala of Dynotech and George Taylor, the event has survived through the many years.
For the event, we dyno stock sleds, run them through a 1/4-mile test track, and record their performance. This year at the Adirondack Shootout, AmSnow handed out numerous awards including the Fastest ¼-mile Top Speed in the Stock 600, 800, and Unlimited classes. We also gave the dealers about an hour to try their hand at improving the stock sleds with a quick set-up of their own. We gave out awards for the best Stock Improved (Dealer Prepared) Fastest ¼-mile Top Speed as well in each of the three sled classes.
Bikeman Performance was also on hand with this Cat Crossfire R 1000.
Finally, a Best Average Elapsed Time award was given in each class. The Best Average ET award was determined by averaging the best Stock ET with the best Stock Improved ET that each sled posted. This nullified any motivation for those involved to "de-tune" their stock sleds in order to show big power gains and subsequently "push parts." It was in each participant's best interest to have a good Stock ET and a good Stock Improved ET.
AmSnow put these stockers to the test on Dynotech's dyno just hours before we took them out on the snow and then gave each sled two runs in Stock and Stock Improved form, to try to pull their best times and top speeds. After that, we had well-respected aftermarket companies come show us what their modifications can do to make your sled faster, handle better, and power off the line like an angry gorilla.
In the upcoming February issue of AmSnow we'll have full acceleration results, dyno test numbers, trail mod tests, and lake racer results. Here's a sneak peak at how the stock sleds performed.
Stock 600cc Fastest ¼-mile Top Speed - Yamaha FX Nytro, Speed: 88.75mph
Stock 600cc Fastest Improved Top Speed - Ski-Doo MXZ 1200 4-TEC, Speed: 88.40mph
Stock 600cc Best Average Elapsed Time - Yamaha FX Nytro, Avg. ET: 13.3015sec.
Stock 800cc Fastest ¼-mile Top Speed - Polaris Dragon 800, Speed: 93.94 mph
Stock 800cc Fastest Improved Top Speed - Ski-Doo MXZ 800R. Speed: 97.82 mph
Stock 800cc Best Average Elapsed Time - Arctic Cat Crossfire R 800, Avg. ET: 12.524 sec.
Stock Unlimited Fastest ¼-mile Top Speed - Cat Z1 Turbo, Speed: 96.77mph
Stock Unlimited Fastest Improved Top Speed - Cat Z1 Turbo, Speed: 97.82mph
Stock Unlimited Best Average Elapsed Time - Cat Z1 Turbo, Avg. ET: 12.4605 sec.

As I explained in my post above yes the new sleds are lighter and handle better then the old triples but I would also expect them to perform just as well when they are asking $12 - $14 000 for them. I'm not bashing them just pissed that they are still lacking in some areas.

I bet if you took a box stock 800 XCR and a box stock 800 Dragon, and raced them the results would be closer than you think. Get the two sleds on a tight whooped out trail and the Dragon will walk away from the XCR, and be more efficent while doing it.
I think you're just mad because you couldn't get financed for the new Dragon that you wanted.
Why don't you post up some of your 1/4 mile times/speeds. Post up or shut up!

im not wanting to get into the middle of an argument but i dont see why they cant make the best of both worlds anymore , i miss the days where you could go to the dealership and buy either a 1000 muscle sled 0r an 800 ditch banger , i own both i have a mach z and a 98 polaris xc 700 i know in the deep stuff the polaris is the best and in the lakes the mach is the best out of my options.

The conditions were absolutely horrible this year. They dont run on a shaved ice track, they run in a field and had tons of snow (real world yes) however that cant really compare year to year as conditions can very so differently.
Take the Apex, the motor, EFI, tuning, clutching etc hasnt changed in a few years. Yet it ran considerably slower than it has in the past. It was conditions.
Now as for running the older iron...My Apex got beat by a 98 T-cat on the lake. I dont care, big deal. We also ran an XCR800 that day too. Its the total package, I didnt buy my sled to be the fastest on the lake, beside a little wrenching for the weekend and nothing could beat it. How fast you wanna go, equals how much you wanna spend.
But back to original topic..... the conditions brought down the speeds considerably this year.

No, but you are a child
Boy, you just don't know when to stop. Ignorant....
Anyway, it's tough to compare the new twins with the old lake runner triples. These new performance sleds were built with the on trail performance in mind, and those trips were built with straight line speed in mind. To say the new twins, which probably make similar HP out of the box than some of the old trips, are a bit slower is a testament to where the progression of this sport has taken us. People are more interested in how high they can jump their new sled than how fast it can go across a lake. (maybe over open water, but that's beside the point)
I just think that the sport has progressed to the point we are now: people want something that can take on the ditches without killing their knees and backs, and be able to hit 100ish mph. They want to take that side trail and be able to hit it 20mph faster than they could 5-10 years ago.

I'm pretty sure those RX1's speedos are out big time that guy was probably actually doing 105 MPH. Now if you put a turbo on it then I would believe it.

Yes...as a yammi 4s owner I will tell you. The speedos are way out of whack at the higher speeds. Although for about 5 minutes of work and no cost, they are almost spot on.
I rarely pay attention to my speedo anyways.

The conditions were absolutely horrible this year. They dont run on a shaved ice track, they run in a field and had tons of snow (real world yes) however that cant really compare year to year as conditions can very so differently.
Take the Apex, the motor, EFI, tuning, clutching etc hasnt changed in a few years. Yet it ran considerably slower than it has in the past. It was conditions.
Now as for running the older iron...My Apex got beat by a 98 T-cat on the lake. I dont care, big deal. We also ran an XCR800 that day too. Its the total package, I didnt buy my sled to be the fastest on the lake, beside a little wrenching for the weekend and nothing could beat it. How fast you wanna go, equals how much you wanna spend.
But back to original topic..... the conditions brought down the speeds considerably this year.
Good post. All in all I have yet to see a new box stock sled have a better ET or 1/4 run then any old iron sled. Yes they handle better and can be made to take on any other sled. I would just like to see one come off the show room floor faster then the old muscle. I could definitely see myself with a new Dragon or Apex in the next few years. The old back is slowly giving out! 
Cheers

I had back surgery when I was 15 from a sports accident. The thing that really saves my back on the 200 mile ride days is you sit much more straight up. On the old style your butt was in the back of the seat then your hunched over. So over every bump your back is bending and tearing it up. With the new rider positions you sit much more upright, can stand easier and even lift your butt a little off the seat for the most harsh bumps because your feet are under you.
Now with that created a few issues Im still struggling with. Because your sitting so much higher its a new feel to riding, and the sled does become top heavy to an extent. I know some older smaller sleds that just flat out rail. They sit so low you couldnt make them get inside ski lift, feel tippy etc.
I guess its just a big give or take.
Anyone is welcome to take my Apex for a ride anytime. They may not like it, they may love it who knows. But it does have a dragon rear suspension in it now. Getting that dialed in slowly as I dont know much about Poo skids. Im actually getting some track rub on the tunnel protectors (yammi sleds come with them, unlike poo :) )so I will have to drop the skid lower in the tunnel an inch or so. I tried to lower the rear end some to help the center of gravity.

And yet again the the ignorance that runs rampant on this forum has to ruin this topic as well. Its almost comical to see these new members telling Hyper he has no idea what he is talking about.
The only real reason there is still a triple Vs twin debate is because the twin proponents are not comparing apples to apples. Most of the people backing the triple are willing to admit that the older chassis are outdated and uncomfortable but the big triple mills are still superior to the 5+ year newer twin engines.
They stopped making triples because there are less parts on the twins which means that it is much cheaper to produce a twin snowmobile. The kicker is that the new sleds have still gone up in price since this change.
Here's what you need Hyper, a 800 XCR powered IQr

Around here nobody rides triples anymore so my twin is still fast on the lake....plus it can actually go over bumps without sending your prostate through your nose.

I find it funny that my long tracked, geared down, and trail clutched pro-x 700 ran a 93.2 in 1000 ft last year. Give me an extra 320 feet and i would have had an extra mph easy. I feel bad for the people paying good money for new sleds, and getting whooped up by people with "old school" sleds.
