Different for sure..
Allot faster/quicker than the 500HO may be as quick as a 05 800 or new 700EFI
Tops out at 62 MPH Rev limiter. 5880 RPM (62 MPH is plenty)
The clutch is set-up great, right from the factory
Will climb anything. Same Polaris AWD
I don't know about throwing it sideways in a corner, seem as it would roll if you catch an edge.

I need to get some pics on here of the front bumper, rock sliders and skid plate I made for mine. That green looks better than I thought it would.

Im planning on getting some bighorns and rims too, But I don't think the extra money for the bead locks are worth it. But they do look good. I ran 2psi on my paddle and douglas rims and had no problems with the beads.

I got the bead-locks so I can change the outside ring after I have eaten them up rock crawling. I would run around 3.5 to 4 PSI on the Con.

When I ran the rubicon I left about 8psi in the stockers, I would of aired down, but the rzr lacks alot on ground clearance. But even aired up I had no problems at all with traction. By the damn at buck I could crawl up the really step sections without spinning.

I Talked to a Polaris dealership today and they have a three day old Green RZR in there totaled. The owner thought it would be smart to hook some dounuts on the Pavement. Ended up rolling it numerous times and the total damage was over $9000. he said the engine and trans where the only things not hurt.
