fidge-I have a '04 MXZ X 600HO carbs. I ran with a 600 HO SDI Renegade and he topped out at 105 also. 113 is believable with some mods. The HO really runs!
Congrats on the Fusion. Although I chuckle at the name as it looks like they "fused" a Rev with a Firecat and a little bit of Viper.

tell me another one sledheadrich, i am pissing myself about you keeping up with F7's, i know for a fact that an f6 is faster then your sled. funniest thing i have heard in a long time. and a stock f-7 will hit 120 on the gun, i know for a fact. not saying that it doesn't take a while to get there but it does go over 120 mph.105 is your top end? buy a new sled if you are going to trash, my grandpa's 2up almost hits that. as for the speedo's on the cats, they are the most accurate speedo you can get, 3 mph off. 127 for the machz is pathetic, 1000 cc and 127 is the top end, what a joke. looks like cat might still be the fastest sled again next year!!! (i am still laughing about you hanging with the f7 and 800ho)lol. i do agree with you about the f5, they are not a top end sled, might hit 100 but conditions have to be perfect and no studs for sure.

LMAO some of those speeds are total BS. But to answer the first question the T-cat was made from 1993-2002 and was a 900cc triple from 93-97 and in 98 it was bumped upto a 1000cc triple. Top speed on a stock T-cat can range on the year but the newer ones were running mid/high 120's, but the 98's were the strongest T-cats ever made. I run a 99 ZRT 800 triple and it'll show 115-120mph stock.
There is NO way a stock F5 will do 112mph in 1000ft or even in a million feet, its just not going to happen, same goes for a F7 showing 134mph. My friend has a 04 F6 with a 1.375" track, clutch work and geared down and he tops 102 on GPS (which will beat a 03 Rev 600 HO), they will do about 107 stock with 1" track. My brother has a 03 F7 and has had 114mph on the speedo on hardpack trail with very little left. The new cat digital speedo's are much more accurate then the old analog ones, compared to a GPS at speeds over 100mph they are only off by 2-3 mph.
Now for a stock polaris XC 600 doing 118-120mph (actual speed, not speedo), sorry but once agian not in any life time. Another riding buddy has a 02 Edge X 600 and it comes no wheres close to 120mph. They do have good top end, about 110mph, but thats about all the engine can do.

Yes there is our problem you are talking speedo speeds, I am talking actual speeds, theres a big difference. The XC 700 does have good top end but is pretty doggish off the line. My friend has a 2000 and it'll move along pretty good once it gets wound out but in a 660' a 600 will have no problems with it.
