I raced a Grizzly 660 several times back and forth across a field, switched riders and everything. Both machines were stock except for the lift on mine, and both carrying front winches. The Grizzly would grab a few feet at the start, almost doing a wheelie, definitely felt more snappy. However, after about 150 feet or so the big ol' twin started breathing and reeled in the Grizzly. Didn't run away from it but pulled up even then passed by a length or two.
Another performance advantage I found is that with junk stock tires, the Grizzly does not like to stop on wet grass. THe 700 with Rawhides stopped real quick, while the Grizzly slid and slid and slid. I almost put it into the woods at the edge of the field the first time, defintely had the pucker factor up to about 10.
I would consider this not only a performance issue, but a safety issue as well. Something to consider, usually tire comparison is limited to mud or trail traction, but don't forget about stopping.

Here is a comparison all polaris whiners. I have a 2001 wolverine bone stock (this was before I put mudders on it). My dad has a 2000 sportman 500 HO bone stock. We dragged a 1/2 mile flat ground dirt road. He beat me off the line, had me in second, third gear I caught up and passed him to never looked back. He said top end his speedometer read 60 mph and I was slowly pulling away. (I figure 61 or 62) Then, we lined them up and did it again, just to see the same thing happen again.
660 is 160 bigger than 500 so what. 500 is 150 bigger than a 350. So quit whining about the difference in engine sizes when you compare them.
