Thundercat

[ccdhowell]

Man I saw a pic of the new Arctic Cat Tundercat in the latest issue of Quad magazine and I can't quite thinking about it. I drove to the nearest Arctic Cat dealer(30 miles away) after lunch today and danged if they weren't closed for vacation, had a sign on the door, been closed all week.

So tell me, has anyone seen one in person? Anyone ridden a Thundercat? Was it awesome? Would it XC race well for a utility?

i've been riding a 1000 h2. Looks good, feels good (new designed direction) but the h2 sound strange, stock tires are gay and it heat so much that they put a oil cooler .... The engine is so big, i wonder how they put it inside the frame. It's a little too much!

Thanks for the reply gipsy. I love the over the top nature of the Thundercat, but practical it may not be.

my first impression on the thunder cat was its the size of my s-10. then when i got on it i was real real impressed. i spun the tires on wet pavement to 35mph. it completely walks my buddy's kfx450.

not sure if its special additon or not but it has the razer 4 speeds on it and some nice wheels

Hey thanks for the reply man. Info on the Thundercat is hard to come buy. Somehow they are a mysterious thing around these parts. My dealer hasn't gotten one, maybe soon he keeps saying when I stop buy.

Walking a KFX450 isn't too easy either, they are pretty quick.

I just finished writing a review on it....should be on the homepage any day

Thanks Pappy, I'll check it out. Also, I've admired your photography for a while now and I love the looks of the Thundercat. Have you loaded the Thundercar photos up on the web somewhere I can buy a couple from you?

I dont really have many of it....we did a few "safe" shots and then cut the riders loose to ride the machines. The Thundercat's starter went out so we never got to do any more photos with it (This is why I always get some safe shots, we arent to nice to these things )

[ccdhowell]

Yeah, I'll bet they need a good service after you're done with them.

Last week i went to my arctic cat dealer and there was a thunder cat with burned belt, oil leak from rear différental (as many AC) and vibrations problems... after only 1000 miles... Wait 2-3 years to buy yours...
