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.

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.

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....

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.
