that would be bad ***** if they had a turbo desil 4x4 quad. Enter it in a race just to get the holeshot and blow everyone away with black smoke.

The only diesel I am aware of from polaris is I think a Magnum 300

well if its diesel it would have to be fuel injected since its a diesel.

yes polaris tryed this a few years ago with their 455 diesel, they later tryed to improve it by bumping the cc up to 500 but that wasn't enough, they were to heavy and gutless. ithink they had a hard time startign them to with such high compression. this arctic cat sound quite intresting. if its built right it could have just as much or more power than the big bore gas burners.

we will have to wait and see...
