Can you clue us in on this mathematical formula you speak of?

We may have another "raptor010" on our hands folks. Either that or a mildly sane ehlitdew

Just in time for publication we were able to get a new 2003 Polaris Predator test unit put on the dyno at Dynojet's Research and Development facility in Las Vegas, NV. The 500cc motor in the new Predator has already proven to be very strong in our intial testing. Michael Cory helped us to find out just what the Dyno says:

So just what did it say? The Predator cranked out an easy 42HP. Very impressive for a stock 500cc ATV. This is 6 HP more than the 660ccYamaha Raptor in stock form. We will be doing more in-depth testing of the Predator and bring you an in depth report next month! (I know, tough job....)

Great, horsepower numbers. Did you happen to dig up any torque numbers? Torque is what moves mass. HP just impresses the bench-racers.
