I have been assured by those involved who are OUTSIDE of AC that the quality is far superior to the Prowler. It not only looks and works WAYYYYYYYYY better but it also is much better built and designed! I will be driving one VERY VERY soon!!! Can't wait to tell you all about it!
As for the heads up vs. the XP drag race. From what I have gathered is the XP is faster in a flat out drag race which I know is why so many people buy UTV's, to drag race....lol....but that the added suspension on the AC will equalize what power advantage the XP does have.
I personally would never buy a UTV based upon a flat road or uphill drag race as I prefer to run in bumps and charge hard! But that's just me....
18" of rear wheel and 17" of front wheel TRAVEL!!! That's just ridiculous!
