The good news is that he's fairly new to offroading so I should be able to outdrive him until he gets up to speed. He paid $12,000 OTD. He could have got a Teryx for $9500 OTD in Los angeles, put $2500 into it and smoked any rzr. Oh well. I hope he breaks alot of cv's so I can say " I told you so ". Honestly, if I didn't have kids, that new RZR S model looks pretty good, it comes with more power and long travel. Ready to go.
The power difference in the sport isn't enought to even consider. The fit and finish on the RZR is laughable. I considered one, took it for a ride, and it was fun, but i have major doubts on how fun it would be for how long. Looking at the poor frame quality, the assinine intake, rickety seats, lawmoweresque dashboard, and overall piss poor workmanship and design, there's no way i would ever throw down MORE money for one. Not to mention the standard RZR is already prone to tipping over backwards, what do you think raising the whole thing off the ground 4 more inches and retaining the same wheelbase is gonna do? Notice how much the turn radius increased by? Wont be something for hardcore offroad, thats for sure. A set of the soon to be released Elka shocks will get ya in the same travel department as the sport RZR anyways, and will keep ya having fun and out of the shop FAR longer than any polaris turd, not to mention the motor has double the potential and double the service life.
