Well what do you guys think. I've heard the 400 will beat a 500, but what about the new HO's. Anyone have experience yet?

 

I have my money on the Xplorer.

 

Stock vs stock, I would guess the HO might have the edge in top speed, but the Xplorer should out accelerate it up till then. Just a guess, though. Come on somebody, my curiousity has been piqued.

 

Did it when new at the dealership, the HO stays with it until about thirty and then the Xplorer slowly pulls away.

 

Were both machines new? I have been told that the Sportsmans will loosen up more than the Xplorer as miles accumulate. It seems that with the top speed numbers some people have been giving, the HO should have a higher top speed. Either that, or a few of the posted speeds were massaged just a little.

 

Ya both machines where right out of the crate. The HO does do about sixty-five but we never raced to top speed. It was just a race from start to about fifty.
