Which is faster??
99 XC SP 500
or
Formula Z 500 99
We'll say in the 1/4 mile.
Thnx for u'r time
P.S. we have a foot now in central maine...They even passed the drag on some trails
The XC SP will kick the crap out of the formula Z. They maxed the power out of that puppy. Unless that Z has a shit load of aftermarket parts, heh, your gone!

I biased. The Polaris by a full sled length, maybe a tad more.

I am with this one too. The xc is a high performance sled and the formula is a trail cruising sled. Very different engines. If it were an MX Z that was racing the xc it would be a different story.
Just my 2 cents
Tree's don't make the greatest brakes... On second thought neither do hydropoles"
I would have to say the Polaris also. I have a 2000 XC SP 500 and my dad has a 2001 600 Edge X, and on top end the Edge is only about 5 mph faster, but it does get there a bit quicker.
Snowmachining is not a thing to do - its a way of life
I also have a 00 500 XC SP, if the 99 is anywere near as fast as mine I would say the Polaris also. But the 99 didn't have the VES so the Ski-Doo might be fast. I'm undecided. If the race hapens let us know who wins.
well, i got a 99 xc sp 500, and one of my good buddies has a 98 mxz 500, which i think has the same engine as the formula z. in equal conditions, mine will take his every time.

Hey, is a hydro pole what we in the U.S.A. call a power pole? If it is , you are correct ; They don't make good brakes!!!
You people are all biased!!
I do agree on the XC being a bit faster.
BTW, The Formula and the MXZs are the same motor, the difference is the suspensions.

Yeah a hydro pole is the same thing. Unfortunately i know that from experience.....
Well, the race occured. Because of his advantage of 96 studs he took me from a dead stop. I have no studs. But from a roling (15 mph) start he got me out of the hole but i spanked him top end.
I've been trying to figure out through the search and even google,
so far though I have an idea... any snowmobile that is older, especially 90's and circa 2000, that is modded up seems to be called a beater?
I just got property that is not year round access - but I think beater sleds are my...
So I am building a small buggy style vehicle and I am using a two stroke Ski doo engine for it.
Never owned a snowmobile or messed with one before so I had a few questions.
Firstly, where can I find a good wiring diagram for the donor sled so that I can incorperate everything back into the...
Just curious what’s everyone riding nowadays, older members, new members doesn’t matter! How do you like it? I finally upgraded from an 02 Polaris XC 500 I’ve had for over 8 years to a 2012 Yamaha nytro mtx and wow was I shocked...
Hello there!
New forum user and new snowmobile owner here. I've bought 1998 Polaris Trail Touring. When I brought it home I noticed unexpected item attached with fishing swivel to the gas level stick. My first thought was that it was fuel pickup filter but it doesn't have a connector for the...
I have a 2004 Polaris 600 RMK vertical edge. Ran it for the past 2 winters with no problems. Recently it starts fine but then after about 10 - 15 minutes of riding it loses power, bogs down and dies. It will restart right after it dies, if I let it sit for a few mins and runs fine for a few...
