Folks, I am just now recovering from a long, delayed flight but these guys have put some great details down. I am sure I will continue to make more posts as my brain recovers but all I can say too is <h2><font color="red">WOW!!</font id="red"></h2> I want one really baaaaad!!! This trip was, like Gary said, so much more than the RZR, but let me start there since Gary has covered the other end pretty good.
This RZR is something to behold. The roominess suprised even me. The steering is adjustable as is the seat. After a short walk around and safety feature intro, we each had our own RZR. We donned helmets, gloves, goggles and Polaris supplied skull cap thingy and then climbed in. It gave you a sense of being in a race car!! You had to fasten all the netting and then buckle the three point harness system. Then, with the RZR in park and your foot on the brake, you fire the big 800 motor up. Folks, that rumble that thing emits made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and sent a chill down my spine!!! I quickly wondered if I was ready for this!!! We were divided into 2 groups of 7 each. A Polaris employee led on an atv, then 2 RZR's, then another Polaris employee on another atv and so on. Polaris had set up a trail through woods, fields and some mud with downed trees across the course, steel I beams, tires, tree roots, steep drops, off cambers and you name it. Folks, we were told this was going to be a tame ride but it was all the excitement I cared to handle for the first time!! I couldn't believe the power this RZR had. When we came to tree logs that were a good 4 to 6 inches around, we just pounded them and went over them. Tree roots, no problem, ram them and keep getting it!!! I hit steel 6 inch I beams laid out on a off camber, driver's side low, trail at 25 mph!! Folks, I couldn't believe what this thing was cable of. It is not only fast but very, very trail capable. We are used to riding tight trails and boy, they obliged us!! We went places the Ranger could not even go because of its size. There were 2 STEEP drops that made me feel like I was going to stick the nose of this missle 4 feet deep in the ground that it took with no problem!! One of the drops was followed by a hairpin turn to the right with a steep drop to the left if you missed the trail!! For me, my pucker factor kicked into HIGH!! But, after one lap, I realized the capabities of this thing was so high that I am sure I could get comfortable in short order on this rig!!! It was a truly amazing machine that had so much power that it was unbelievable. I felt like it would have pulled the front tires off the ground if it could ever quit spinning the rears!!! It was truly awesome!!!
Now, once back to the starting point, my fellow "buddies" had arranged for me to get a ride with one of the Polaris test drivers, who btw, races the RZR's!!! As soon as I strapped in and he said are you ready, I had no more than shook my head yes than when he had the throttle nailed. OMG, is all I can say!!! He took me on the ride of my life and showed me what the RZR is really capable of. Let me just say right here that there is no way in heck I would even attempt to drive the RZR to this level, NO WAY!!! We were blazing down roads and trails at speeds approaching 60 mph!! We were broad sliding curves, running through the trails in the woods at 40 to 50 mph and hitting holes and declines that I had just drove at 10 to 15 mph at nearly 3 times that speed!!! There was one point that this missle was heading for a row of tires setup on the ground like a football player would jog through. I thought, "it ain't going to drive over them at this speed"!!! Guess what, we hit them at better than 50 mph and after regaining consciencious, I realized I was still alive!! Folks I found out that the handle on the passenger side is not only needed but is a great idea. After riding with this awesome Polaris test driver, I KNOW the RZR has no equal!!! Bottom line, if you have a deposit on one, consider yourself lucky indeed!!!!
