According to the boys at Jagged x.com, they lined up both machines and even though they had the same top end speed 74 to 75mph, the RZR was ahead by 5 lengths. They will post a vid as soon as they can.

Their next test will be to add the Airdam clutches to the Commander to see how it would stack up in a race with the RZR. The fella said he has seen the vid on the site of the Commnader with the Airdam set up.
Cant wait for Polaris to put that engine into the Ranger XP Chassis.

I would still think the commander would be faster,maybe when more folks get them out in the rear world we will see which one is faster. I know there both expensive as all get out.

Think the Polaris will be faster to top speed stock. There was rumours of another key to boost the power in the Commander but that is all BS.:smilietwocents:

When I bought my RZR4 I also looked drove etc the Commander 1000, my take on it, the commander has tones of power, but I wanted 4 seats so I took a Polaris. The commander hands down beat the Polaris in cab layout, that cab is sweet, makes Polaris look like oops forgot about the cab. As far as suspension goes, more wheel travel in the Polaris. Utility goes to the commander, the box dumps and it has a second one under the dump box. The warranty also goes to Commander, 3 years to six months. So if it is going to used for anything besides riding and only two seats needed, the winner is Commander every time. My dealer told me he believes Can-Am is working on a sport machine to compete with the RZR, so that should be interesting if it happens.

I am a can-am freak ,,, untill i saw both of them rzr/s - commander goingthrough some extreme steep downhill/uphill terrain ,, commander is much more luxurius inside ... but by far the rzr/s was crawling better ,,, If i wanted a dragracing machine i would have bought a street bike not an atv or utv ,,, i like trail riding and crawling and it seems that rzr/s does it better ...

As a buyer in the market I'm not buying a side X side for their drag racing abilitys. I would be buying it for their for their off roading capability and utility. If I wanted to go fast on the street I would buy a Yamaha R1.

But to each their own.

I have to agree. Polaris has done a hell of a job. Liked the Silent Night vid Rev.

It's a hoot to hear all the commander boys spouting that drag races don't matter... BS
It's all about the race you wana be RZR pilots. I have a Renegade 800 and a RZR, both bought for the same reason. SPEED! So cry in your beer Canned ham boys, you've been relegated to second place (the first LOOSER !)
loooooosers
My buddy who was dumb enough to buy a flash in the pan commander (of what?), fastest utv (for about a week) whines like a loooooooser when I spank him as well. So be the petty little boys you are while eating the dust!!!
Rev, Don't take it persoonallly it's the "commander" I refer to as a loooser. Just the facts.
I'm not some foaming at the mouth, brand loyal Polaris nut. I've had dozens of bombi products and have trusted my life to rotax powered airplanes for thousands of hours.
It's just that Commanders are second best, hands down. I mean, if I wanted a Jeep, I'd buy a Jeep. A real Jeep with AC and XM. Not some overweight go cart whose claim to fame is two trunks and lawn chair seats. Some folks reach for the things that "shine" and some go for the numbers. So the choice is first or second. That's all I'm say'in.
If I wanted my rzr to run like a Commi I'd pick up a couple fat chicks... Just eat the humble pie or I'll be forced to keep poking at you.
wana beez love to buzz
Sh you do not want a Dick measuring contest little man. You will loose.
You guys are dicks, sorry about being awesome!
"A lot of intelligence" is a board that has Johnny Rev re-writing other peoples posts. Why have a place to share ideas if you simply change the entire post to what you want to hear. If attributing your words to other people isn't illegal it is unethical. And if this is not the place to discuss the difference between the two sxs's, change the name of the thread. Just like you change the posts of other people to reflect what you want to hear. You morons just go back to your sand box and play with yourselves. You don't seem to be open to ideas that burst your bubble. You have nothing to offer thinking people with ideas different than yours. Now, Revster, let's see if you are a punk and simply change or delete the things you don't want to hear. Again. Or can you accept criticism and allow the free exchange of information.
Thats all your posts in this thread and on this forum. Only one that isn't bashing, other then calling me unethical, is the last one and you don't follow your own advice on all the previous posts. Do you want to start over or continue as before? I can easily delete all your posts as non have any real info or content worth keeping.
