Yes 99’s are just fine! Little clutch work and jetting they’ll run great. The last couple years is where they really de tuned them cat triples, and they just take more “finesse” to make “quick”😂 like the 01-02’s. 00’s are hit or miss out of the box, 99’s are first year for that new body style and they’re usually pretty good. When I was a kid my dad had a 99 Thundercat and it was super stout. You’ll be happy with it. If it’s bone stock the best things I would say to do to “wake it up” a little bit would be jetting, clutch kit/clutch work, 2° advanced timing key, gut the airbox (but leave the foam), aftermarket track and studs (if it doesn’t already have those), aftermarket silencer but leave stock pipes on, and v force reeds. You do those few things to it, it’ll be an absolute animal for never cracking the heads and having a stock motor, still run on 93 octane, and still be trail friendly and reliable.

No you can’t😎 thanks!

It does. Stock pipes with a jaws silencer👍🏻

Love it man! These 800’s are rocket ships. Cat actually underrated these 800’s back in the day. The 800 and 900 motor are virtually identical. They’re realistically only about 12hp down from the 1000’s… cool little fact a lot of people don’t know.

🔥

Yup

Aftermarket track, 196 studs, primary clutch has aftermarket spring and weights, secondary clutch is out of a 1000 tcat, boysen reeds, stinger silencer. Stock pipes… I’m going to rejet and re sync the carbs come next fall because I want to gut the airbox, and do a 2° key adjustment for timing. Motor is all stock tho. 3,100 miles on chassis and motor. Heads have never been cracked.

I have another short walk around video of it after I got it all tuned up and everything mechanically sound if you wanna check it out🤙🏻 thanks for watching man I appreciate it.

It’s fun stuff😎

95-98 ZRT’s are the best years for sure. This sled has aftermarket silencer, stock pipes. It’s actually kinda hard to find the ZRT 800’s. You’ll find 600’s all day. Came across this a little while ago and couldn’t pass it up. Love the sled. It’s a freak too.

@crsracing1313 the 95's were junk that os a fact. Have to admit that, but after that, they were a force to be reckoned with. I raced 700's with my 600 and walked them everyday every time. They were awesome.

@@ecoboostrules9795 96 is arguably the best year for the 600 ZRT. They’re stout for 600’s no doubt. Lot of people don’t know this, but the reason the ZRT 800 was most winning sled in the late 90’s is because they were underrated for power. They advertised the 800’s at 150hp, the 900’s at 162, and the 1000’s at 172. The 800’s actually made just under 160hp or right at the mark. Cat did this so the 800’s would dominate their class and keep up with the thundercat 900’s. The 900 motor, and the 800 motor are virtually identical. Touch more bore with the 900, but everything else is identical. Even the stroke is the same. If you can find an 800 pick one up. Kinda harder to find a little bit but they run real hard… this 800 is even a little bit of a freak. So since it was new it was a touch more stout than average. Got lucky when I bought it. Didn’t know if it was gonna be a dog, average, or a freak. Only a couple sleds behind my dad’s thundercat at 100mph. On ice, he’s toast. Good snow up to about 70 were dead even. Those thundercat 1000’s just don’t stop pulling after 70. Top end is crazy…

@crsracing1313 ya I had an 01 t cat for a while also. They are awesome. I would love to get an 800. We don't get shit for snow around here anymore, so it's really hard to have one and just let it sit.

@@ecoboostrules9795 facts man. I’m in lower Michigan and we don’t get much here anymore. Usually just go to the U.P. They still get a fair amount of snow. Except for this year. Weird winter nationally this year.

She’s a pretty stout piece for sure😎

Stinger silencer, stock pipes.

Common misconception people tend to do is put aftermarket pipes on these cats without cracking the heads… unless you’re porting, polishing, and adding more compression, or running a big bore kit, aftermarket pipes will lose power. Sure they’ll carry out to 9,000 rpm but you’re losing power on stock internals… more trouble than that they’re worth. For these stock cat triples where the heads have never been cracked, keep the stock pipes and run aftermarket silencers to get rid of that big box can, and re jet the carbs to fit it. You’ll make more power that way than throwing aftermarket pipes on. All the cat triple pipes were tuned pipes from the factory👍🏻

@@crsracing1313 ok will try to find Stingers to my 98 have done higher compression and ignition advance.

@@blaikbussn yeah if you got any type of motor work done involving taking the heads off then get aftermarket pipes. Otherwise stay stock👍🏻 I’m about 90% see jaws still makes pipes for these sleds? Maybe try them

Appreciate man! Nothin wrong with Yamaha! Those older yamis will run forever, and then some😎

Tfw and commenting🔥🤙🏻

ZRT 800 and Thundercat 1000 are the best triples made in their time🔥

@@crsracing1313 xcr800 shits on both of them tho

@@nikosavoI’ve never been behind a Polaris. Late 90’s cat triples were the Kings back then. Cat guy or not it’s just facts… 98 thundercat 1000 still holds the record to this day for fastest stock production sled in 1000 feet.

@@crsracing1313 ive personally watched xcr8's beat up on t cats. keyword stock who has a 30 year old sleds that are stock lol my 680 ultra makes 10 less hp then a 1000cc cat LOL a stock xcr8 will wax a tcat

@@nikosavostock vs stock you’re delusional… if that was the case the xcr would hold the title for most winning sled in the 90’s, and hold the record for fastest stock production sled in 1000 feet.

Cat triples are the way to go😎 awesome man.

Wish I lived where you were at! Lol

We got some good riding up here! If I could send some of this snow down your way I would lol@@crsracing1313

@@greatalaska6429 😂 yeah you got it made up there for sledding… Michigan isn’t really getting snow like it used to. U.P. still gets a bit but as far as lower Michigan nowadays it’s hit or miss…

My grandpa sold this a few years back, but it has a 360 in it, 727 trans. If you can find one definitely grab it! This truck was completely restored about 15 years ago. Frame off resto when it was done. That’s when they built trans and 360 was built up at that time as well. My grandpa bought it this way. Only thing he did was add the red decals, and the vintage styler ram air scoops on the hood👍🏻

That sounds like some tuff luck man… hopefully you got it back together smoothly. Thanks for the comment😎

@@crsracing1313 Glad to say this happened 5 years ago and it still runs perfect, if I recall correctly I paid 90.00 for the new sleeve and my friend who sold me both blocks did the resleeve for me as he has a complete automotive machine shop at his house, he also machined in the splayed caps for me.

@@heshtesh good stuff there👍🏻

Yeah it does. Considering what role the car played in the movie if someone “restored” the car it would kill it. Glad the owner is smart enough to keep it how it was when it was sitting in the Warner bros lot in 05 after the movie was done.

Too bad it's an award winning truck😂

Nick Urban lol

Cesar Pinedo no I don't sorry. But thank you! Check out the foxbody video on here!

Where did you get the hood ?

Truck has original hood. Has aftermarket vintage ram air scoops on it.
