On the same roads and trails I rode the WC on I averaged 25-30mph slower on the RZR. (about 20mph on the really rough stuff in the RZR-S).. The WC could take anything you dished out. If you want to go 55-65mph over the woops and washed out roads with 1-2 foot drop offs it will totally dominate. There was never a time today when I felt the least bit out of control on the WC.

[QUOTE="COLT, post: 193175, member: 1351"] Gizmo and I :driving: the Shitballs out of a pair of Wildcats today. To say the least.....They are at the top of there class unrivaled in the fast stuff. I have rode the rzr-xp as well and own a rzr-s. There are definitely areas where the rzr's are king, but if you want to go fast(really effin fast) on the trail or just about any other terrain you can think of, this is your machine! I could not get the cat to air out no matter how fast I rode it. The steering was superb and no matter what we hit, or how hard we hit I never felt the steering wheel try to kick out of my hands. The power lacked somewhat due to the demos only having a 45mm throttle body rather than the 50mm it will be coming with. Truthfully it was fast enough as we rode them. The factory models will have 30 more horsepower than the demos... We were also told the clutch-drive mechanism will be a lot different in the production models.
