The DVX is faster, look at all the mags for Z400 vs 400ex shootouts, DVX is the same motor and chassis as the Z.

How fast does it go? I don't know a top speed, but it's not as fast as my dale[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

NOOOOO!!!! IT'S NOT THE SAME ENGINE....IM NOT SURE ABOUT THE CHASSIS I NEVER HEARED ABOUT THAT...BUT THEY ARENT THE SAME ENGINE...YES SUZUKI MAKES THE ENGINE FOR ARCTIC CAT BUT THEY FOLLOW ARCTIC CATS PLANS FOR THE ENGINE...SO THAT DOES NOT EQUAL THE SAME PERFORMANCE BETWEEN THEM....WHY SUZUKI JUST SELL MASS LOADS OF THEIR ENGINES SO ANOTHER COMPANY COULD MASS SELL THEIR ATVS WITH THE SAME ENGINE THINK ABOUT THAT...

Then why did every mag that reviewed the DVX state that it was the same motor and chassis as the Z400?

Arctic Cat uses the same Suzuki motors that Suzuki uses, they don't have Suzuki build anything special.

Let me guess, you own a Suzuki?, Check ATV Sport or Dirtwheels. I'm not one of those guys that believes everything in the mags, but I do know that AC uses Suzuki motors that are the same motors that Suzuki uses. AC doesn't always get the most recent updates to the motors but thier no more than a year behind.

Why wouldn't Suzuki sell their motors? That way they get paid for every AC built too.

Oh, and by the way peekzsz,

The new AC 650 uses a Prarie motor
the AC 500 uses a Vinson motor
etc, etc, etc

No your right peekzsz suzuki wouldnt mass produce and engine so another company could build the same quad. Suzuki actually owns about 25% of the Acrtic Cat company. This is why all of there New Sno Mos and most of there atvs have suzy engines

not trying to **** anyone off here, just stating the facts
