How fast is the Thundercat?
 

The 950, 1000, whatever they call it. What kind of top end does that thing have? Not buying, just curious. I haven't paid much attention to the quad world in a few years, and suddenly I look up and see everyone making 800's and such and the MSRP's are what would land you a new Isuzu truck back in the mid 90's.

It should be real close to 80 MPH and one pair of Jockeys.

depends on if snarf was hanging off the back....o wait thats thundercats

145km/hr, so like 88MPH I heard
I am considering the thundercat LE, outlander 800 XT and the grizzly 700 FI EPS
I have a couple of threads on here looking for opinions on these 3 so please voice your opinions

T-Cat = Amazing power with not so amazing handling
Outy XT = Amazing power and good handling
Griz = Well rounded package of good power and handling

While the T-Cat and the Outy are the speedsters, the Griz is no slouch. AC claims that the T-Cat has the most power and is the fastest. Can-Am claims the same about their 800R. Both are so fast that it doesn't really matter.

I'm curious about them as well. I don't recall ever seeing one "in the wild" so to speak. I don't see many arctic cats around my area in general but the T-Cat is non-existent. I hear people around the county say that they've seen in in the back of a truck or on a trailer but I haven't seen one running around loose yet.

I wonder if they've made or sold many? I seem to remember reading once where production was quite limited.

There is a guy in our riding area that has a Renegade 800, and he says his buddy has a Thundercat. He says they've raced several times and been clocked with police radar.

The T-Cat tops out at around 78mph and the Renegade about 76 according to his numbers.

The guy is not usually a bull-chitter so I tend to think he's telling the truth. Of course this is on dirt, and I don't really know what types of tires or what are on the T-cat. I don't know how big the rider is of the T-cat.......

But I think nearing 80 is pretty darn fast on any 4-wheeler.....especially one that weighs that much....

I have had my Thundercat for over a year. Yes the power is amazing and I think that it handles OK. It will crawl over rocks and rough stuff and usually keeps all 4 wheels on the ground. It corners well at speed and I have never been passed by anything...

This is a great machine and I like it. It is probably to fast!!!

Whats the top speed of the Grizzly 700 FI???

My Grizzly 700 I sold last month topped out at 64 mph. My Thundercat tops out at 85 mph on a long downhill pavement run. Both were based on what the speedometer said, which could be off considerably.
