Renegade 800R X xc vs. Polaris Scrambler 850
I currently have a 2010 Kawasaki Prairie 360 and am looking to upgrade to something with more power as it's hard to keep up with my friends with Kawasaki Kfx700's and Yamaha Grizzly 650's. I'm stuck between the Can-am Renegade 800R X xc and the Polaris Scrambler 850. What I get out of both is they are pretty much matched, minus the beadlocks on the can-am and the Polaris got a bigger engine. I'm about 5' 7" and 185 pounds. I'm usually riding on flat/rocky surfaces, and fast moving rocky trails. I also like the occasional drag race and love and I mean LOVE doing donuts. So, I'm still left wondering which ATV to choose out of the two. Please help me decide. I weigh the plusses and minuses but they all end up evening out. What are the major pros and cons of each?

Renegade and Scrambler are not utility. As far as I have read the Polaris 850 makes 60ish HP Maybe mid 60's? The can-am 800 makes 71 or 72.
Edit: Also OP, if you're riding a prarie 360 and only having trouble keeping up with your larger displacement friends due to lack of power, then either of the Renegade or Scrambler will have you ahead of the pack easily. Remember it's mostly the rider, not the machine.

The renegade has slight differences than the outty but is still the same machine at heart. Way to heavy to be considered a true sport atv let alone it's automatic, shaft driven and has 4 wheel drive. The scrambler on the other hand seems to be the exact same as the sportsman XPs, they didn't even separate the brake controls
