that is a really tough question... it depends on what kind of riding and what kind of snow is on the ground...
I'm fond of the Cougar and the F6 but that's just me..

For me it's hard to beat the pull of a triple. After riding my Thundercat I was actually a little disappointed in the acceleration of my F7 I just bought.

Yeah, I kind of was thinking about getting an F6 or an F7, I thought they were really cool looking sleds. A guy in town has an F1000. Wow what a sled that F1000 is, but it will set you back 10 or 11 thousand. Definately more than I would spend, but all very good choices you guys came up with, I would have to agree with you.

the only arctic cat i ever liked was 1997 model ZR 440. that was a nice sled and the nicest chassis cat ever built. I still love that 440. arctic cat should get that sled back in the same form and same engine.

Hi i'm new to the forum but always loved Arctic Cats. I just purchased a 2004 ZR900 this season and i love it the suspension is really nice and power is incredible but its also not close to stock and i've never rode a stock one. But you cant go wrong with any F6 or F7 i've ridden both and various years and there all really nice!

I love speed but if you like riding groomed trails doing 130mph is rare but going from o to 90 is a winner and for that reason f serous or firecat are the ticket. Rememmber 1 more cylinder means 1 more pipe,carb bigger air box and can you loose a lot of hp just in weight.

i think a zr 900 with a 144" track would be awesome.
