i was thinking about getting a 2003-2004 f5 firecat or a zr 600 efi what would be better for the trails?

I kno that the 03 F series sleds had many problems and recalls.... so dont go with a 03 unless its got all that taken care of... and what year ZR are you lookin into?

what do you think is faster in like a eighth or a quarter

polaris rider

outta the hole the 600 may be quicker, but top end the f5 prolly will beat it

Amazing! My stock, clutched 600 EdgeX absolutely crushes 600 ZRs and ZLs under any circumstances. I also beat my nephews 600 power valve ZRT on a consistent basis. Granted your 700 doesn't have exhaust valves, but you still should handle ANY 600 ZRs / ZLs. Had a friend with a 2000 700 XC. It was plenty fast but had a slight problem putting power to the ground. Nothing studs and a slightly deeper track couldn't handle.

I actually like the ZL/ZR combo very much but never thought of them as fast once Poo went to the Liberty engines. Now the Fs are a different story.

Well, the 700 does have 7000 miles on it and the zr has like 2k... maybe that has sumthing to do with it?

and btw.... you cant put a deeper track on the 2000 xc, just put a new track on it and nothing bigger then 1" can fit
