Well, stock the Scrambler 400 or 500 is the fastest. I haven't ever seen the two race, and I have heard stories of both of them being faster, so I guess it's too close to call.

On a side note, the 400 2-stroke has more bang for the buck potential and can easily walk away from a 500 with the same mods.

The SPORTSMAN 700 will be the Fastest and quickest stock POLARIS for now.

theres not a chance the 700cc tank will keep up with a scrambler except maybe through a deep mud pit![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I agree!! What is the top speed of the 700 anyway? I believe the scramblers run in the mid 60's, could be wrong. Could you imagine a Scrambler 700 4x4!!

Mid 60's is no problem for my HO so I see no reason why the 700 shouldn't be the fastest.

Out of the 500 and 400, the 400 has the highest top speed.

From what we have heard of the 700 it will at least run with the Prairie 650 and a prairie 650 will smoke a stock scrambler 400 or 500, I know I was the one on a modified 01 scrambler 500 watching the tail lights of a 650 pull away quick(not even close).

I didn't realize the big boys were that fast! This is my first Polaris and it is way faster than my Warrior was and a far better machine. Just out of curiosity, why would you want to run something that big that fast? I would much rather have more torque than speed.

It's a sickness. I bought the HO to do work, technical riding, trail riding, etc. However I find myself trying to make it as fast as possible and constantly racing sport quads just to see how I do. Like I said it is a sickness.

I am a little new to the Pollaris sport quads. I just bought a SC400 4X4 with FMF pipe and silencer, V-force reeds and K&N. I have not been on the 650 but I have the 660, and I do not think the 660 will be close to my 400 in a drag. I could be wrong but this Scrambler 400 feels very fast. It takes effort to keep the front end down when I hit full throttle off the line. I do not know how much difference the mods that I have make when compared to stock, but I would be surprised to see a 650 hang with it.

Also, I have ridden several SC500s and none of them compare to the acceleration of the 400.
