For desert racing we all know it's not how fast you can go, but how long can you go fast. With a belt drive you can not keep the car flat footed at 85 MPH across a 10 mile lake bed or 40 miles of long fast Nevada/Baja roads without blowing the belt. With a 5 speed gearbox like this YXZ that will no longer be a problem especially if this thing will do 100MPH like they claim it will. This car has a lot of potential right now to go out and win races. But one thing is for sure, Polaris and Can-am do not like getting beat and they will come up with something of their own sooner than later.that is with the 155hp turbo kit, or so they claimed on FB
they claim 0-80 run, which i did a simple stop watch calculation and get around 13 seconds 0-80mph, and just from eye balling it, it appears that took around 1000ft. thats not bad honestly. but i have worked on built motor XP1000 that are that quick. and i have a very good customer with a turbo maverick and a reflash and bolt ons that does 73mph in 300ft. which only takes about 5 seconds. the guys at EVO powersports have their big turbo kit that makes almost 160whp, and will hit the 85mph top speed (RPM limited) in just a hair over 6 seconds. in the grand scheme of things, this yammie is definitely going to be fast and fun, but its gonna still be playing catch-up cause the mav turbo guys are ruthlessly fast with all the mods that are out now. i also know a tuning shop that already has the XPTurbo and said they have the mapping done out to 20psi of boost. it wont be long till the XPTurbo is on the streets with reflashes that have them in the 75mph in 300ft mark. i am not trying to burst anyones bubble. just trying to give a different perspective on what fast actually is.
Nah, I know you. You're probably thinking more along the lines of "decrepit old fuck"!I was think'n BadassXYZ
I'm curious to hear what disappointed you now that you've seen one in person. If you don't mind sharing your thoughts now, I'd love to hear them. I'm stagnating. Always the same thoughts in my head. Front steer, load carrying duties, motion ratios, blah blah blah. It's all getting old. I can use a paradigm shift right about now. It's almost like I've got tunnel vision. Maybe I'll go stare at a weld for a half an hour then drive home with nothing in my heads besides tinnitus!Bam, looking forward to your opinions after you look at one on Monday. I looked at one today in person for the 1st time and must admit there were some things that impressed me and some that definitely did not
