Here is the C.A.R.B. Executive Order for 950 Thundercat.

1 kilowatt = 1.34102209 HP

The Thundercat produces 49.1 kW which translates to 65.84 HP. For a comparison the Outlander 800 produces 46 kW which translates to 61.69 HP. The Thundercat has 4.15 more HP than that of the Outlander 800. But the Thundercat is almost 60 lbs. heavier.

I talked to a bunch of guys that do the local drag races around here and they said that arctic cat was the best utility to drag race. They sure are ugy!!!!!

The added length is a huge advantage in the drags. They must also have a decent clutching?

From everything I have read it's a powerhouse and heavy which affects handling. Although I have never seen a Arctic Cat handle all that well. They are mainly workhorses. The Brute Force or Grizzly in my opinion are better suited for all around machines.

I'd like to have one with tracks on it for snow season. We do a lot of winter riding up here and so far the only machine that really seemed to turn tracks well is the Can-Am 800. Any big bore will do it, but the guy with the Can-Am was even keeping up. This makes me think the T-cat would be a blast.

You may be onto something there formguy. I am sure we will know soon haw they do with the tracks. AC need to step up production.

I read a review at another site that said the TC left the OL in the dust. I still haven't heard anything on the handling. Anyone else been reading any reviews on these monsters?

So far everything that I have read has said that handling is very impressive.........for a machine this size. Now I am not completely sure what that means but I have an idea.

Probably means it's good in a mud hole, pullin a trailer, and drag racing. Which would be fine for a lot of riders, just not me.
