it just so happens that my cousin has a Vinson. We raced it with my 500 and the sportsman won by about 6 lenghts in the 1/2 mile. So, No, the vinson wont outrun the sp500.

i have also seen a race between these two machines, and the sp500 killed the vinson. it won the 1/2 mile by about 8 lengths.

I wonder what the '03 can do? It has more power than the '02. We should ask what gets up and goes faster not what has a higher top speed. So far everyone says the SP500 has a higher top speed. How about the get up and go, that is much much more important.

when i saw the race the takeoff was pretty much the same. The sp500 may have had a little gain on the vinson. but after about 30 feet the sp500 unleashed its power and took off.
