That's insane, definitely sounds like sabotage. That Thundercat at the grass drags with the flames was a 1998. Sadly it wasn't running right, but your 99 hauls the mail!!

858 rxc with gearing would be very interesting

Old school Arctic Cats are the best. 90's was so peak. I have new sleds but I love getting these 90's sleds and tuning them up, doing some tweaking, finding choice parts from the day, and riding them. It's a lot more fun and cheaper than messing with cars. And I was an AC kid in the 90's so this is really fun to get the old sleds you used to drool over, and sometimes get something that you didn't even know about. Endless enjoyment

You shoud've seen the 91 phazer I bought for my nephew. Sat for 8 years and had a rat make a home in it. It runs like a champ now and we're hoping to get to rip on it this winter out here in South Dakota.

My 1st sled i bought myself in 1989 was a used 80 el tigre 6000 (500 LC) Very fast sled, beat alot of indy 400s and 500s and skidoos with it, 1st new sled i bought was a 91 wildcat 700 . very fast sled also

My first new sled was a 2000 artic cat crossfire 1000 cc and i think its been the fastest sled I've ever owned

Sweet pee

That’s what snowmobile is all about the camaraderie and the old memories half the times just the stories. The old stories are the best times. Keep up the good work boys. Cheers.

Still running my old girl. Not as comfortable as the new sleds but she still flies.

I’d like to hear what everyone’s first snowmobile was. Mine was a brand new 1978 Panther

So EXT was all about top of the line suspension?

Miss you guys I gotta make a trip back up there sometime

Me and my father tested out the 858 last year in mont vilan Quebec and we raced the rxc 858 136 vs an 98 Yamaha srx 700 and the Yamaha was able to fly by the 858 on the top end that being said the 858 is still a hell of a motor but I do believe the thunder cat would beat it

Sounds to me like sabotage

Better pick your race.... Don't go in the powder

With Bidenflation and Bidin killing the Oil Industry doubling the cost of gasoline makes snowmobiling cost a lot more.

No more Yamicats, that is going to cut down on their Production Numbers. Blackrock , Vangard and State Street are the biggest Share Holders of Artic Cat , Polaris and Harley Davidson

Nice Cat! What does it mean when oil comes out the exhaust in an older sled?

So sad that Arctic Cat is shutting down. Didn't Textron try and sell it off instead of just shutting it down? 🙁

Best looking sleds

Always like the trail version the Sabercat.

Why was this previously blocked? Northwoods snowmobiling

Great deal

I had one fast as hell🎉🎉🎉

The ndustry is overpriced. I get that less people buying equals less produced which equals higher priced parts etc. honestly. I this coupled with less snow. Too expensive! I don’t buy new snowmobiles. Cannot afford it. The whole industry pricing themselves out. Consumers are at fault as well. Vote in people who make regulations that raise prices. The declining consumer demands too much. Better and better. Faster is fun. What about the forgotten snowmobile rider like me who would buy a simple 440 or 500 new if it was affordable!

Yamaha had the V-Max 4, didn't come out with the triple till about 1997 with the Red Head SX 700. they also got rid of the pogo style front suspension and went to trailing arms.

Good guy, don't care Polaris, Arctic Cat or a Ski-Doo. It appear your a Cat guy. But who doesn't love a good ole Triple Triple. Especially for only $200. and some starter fluid.

Time for a set of hyfaxes.

Trail sleds haven’t evolved in 20 years so why buy new when old ass snowmobiles are just as fun. But ain’t no way your keeping up with your buddies on an 04 mountain sled.

Nice vid. Wouldn't mind picking an F7 for ripping around the lake. (Sold my procross turbo cats and 16 viper 4 strokes 2 years ago) . What are the best/reliable years I should for on the F7s ?

1st gen zr700 had twin pipes

This guy is like if Larry the enticer didn’t go to jail.

Anytime I’m on a trail on my new summit I wish I was on my 1991 EXT.

Grew up riding one of these on the lakes of Minnesota.

Awesome video id love to watch more vintage snowmobile videos. Also if you could explain how arctic cat went from being the dominating manufacture to fighting for last place with Yamaha.

Every manufacturer copied the Rev

Awesome Video!!! Well done. My first Firecat was a brand new 2004 F6 EXT 144 and it was insanely fast for a 600. I constantly put a beating on 700's and 800's and that is the honest truth. My brother bought a brand new 05 F7 chaincase version and it was faster than my 600 of course but barely. The F6 was an animal. Sold it with 7000+ km's on it. Never ever caused me a single problem. Wicked awesome sleds for so many reasons.

Still have my 04 ext 9800 miles and it’s still as fast as the day I bought it. Great video

Great vid! 2003 has to be the most influential year in snowmobile history with the models you listed! F7 was awesome, but the REV changed snowmobile design forever. My favorite Cat of all time is the 2010 M8. It took Cat 7 years to build an 800 that would beat the 2003 700. That 800 combined with that chassis and track was the sled to beat.

I have 2 , trouble free .

My neighbor has a 03 F7 Sno Pro that is the black one with the orange flames, what an absolute unit. That thing will keep up with my 13 procross xf800 sno pro in any conditions with the 128in track! Those firecats are honestly my favorite sled made, they mix modern ergonomics and a semi-rider forward chassis while feeling low and connected to the ground. When people think of Arctic cats, they think firecats or Gen 1 zr's.

Awesome video! Love how u have the firecats beside the fire! Well done! I love the limited editions (Please do a video on those!) I still have an 05 f7 red joker and 04 f6 silver fighter pilot, Regret selling our 05 f7 retro, I'll never forgive the wife for that decision lol Keep up the great content!

Just bought a 2004 f6 sno pro..can't wait for some snow!😊

Has anyone seen the Arctic Cat F7 insane wheelie catwalk video of the guy who put M7 gearing in his Firecat? Looks like a blast !!

Had a new 03 F7 sno pro totaled it. Bought new 04 sno pro hill cross and SX raced it put 2500 miles in 04 was my favorite sled of all time maybe. My father had 03 rev 800 I would beat him drag racing every time. My father traded in on a sabercat 600 I would spank my buddies Polaris 800XC on it lol!! Idk just great sleds wish I still owned my 04. The only thing about the firecat it was tippier than the ZR chassis. But once u learned how to steer with the throttle u could really make them carve the turns. The 03 had dyno numbers up towards 150hp but my 04 just worked better all around than my 03.

Re-upload?

Not to mention the 03 where the fastest out of the fire cats

Zr 700 were not piston port inducted. I own 2

Did I just hear somewhere in Minnesota? They're closing down?

Currently, looking for a gas tank for my 2008 😂
