Not sure if this guy is on the forum, but saw this video on youtube and thought it was interesting!

hahah... LOL..

The RZR weighs more, has way more HP, longer wheel base, etc - The P500 is impressive

hahahaha.... i love it

Wow, now I'm scared to do a pull off with my p700 vs a p500!

This will conclude todays physics lesson of the advantages of a geared transmission and driveline vs. pulleys and belts. It's not HOW MUCH HP you have it's how much traction & torque make it to the ground.

The Pioneer driver has got his act together. I see the extra weight in the back of his 500. weight equals traction. Fun video

That made my Day! Thank you!

That's the difference between torque & horsepower.

it is so nice to be able to choose the right gear instead of a "dumb" computer telling you what gear you are going to be in, in my p500, I am the computer.

hat video just made my decision. I just bought the p500 last this week. If anyone is impressed with Polaris just test drive the p500 and there is no comparison. You can actually see when you're wheelin. Sitting up and having a blast. I'm so glad I saw this video.

Welcome to the club! Like you, I have to sit up & "see" while riding. I must not be a Jedi, I can't drive using the Force. Ha!

I took it out today, and krept through some tight briars and underbrush, I took this thing places I never even attempted with my Honda rancher. It is torquey and so far unstoppable. My buddy on his yamah had to feel backing up to jockey around. This was so much fun I wish everyone in my family had one. They are all fighting to drive it now. Jeeps are great but this is the next big thing!

No it isn't. It is called traction.

A rock has Traction but it can't pull?

A rock has traction? I am not sure what your talking about, but the results in the video have nothing to do with torque. The 500 does not have the hp or the torque of the 900. Check out Utube, you will see tug of war pull offs that show smaller, less powerful vehicles pulling back more powerful vehicles in similar tug of war contests. The vehicle with more traction will win.

So if that P500 just sit there with his brakes locked the RZR 900 couldn't move him? That would be traction. To move another moveable object you would have to have torque and traction combined in order to move the opposing object attempting to move in the opposite direction.

But in truth as it is relevant to the above video the RZR gets it's rear passenger wheel off in the grass and the P500 is firmly planted on the pavement game over for spinning one wheel in the dirt his differential did him in.

There was a video of a VW Touareg SUV out pulling a semi truck. But I cant find it.

Even more interesting is the open front diff on the P500 vs the locked front diff on the RZR. The first pull looks like both machines have all 4 tires on pavement to me, the second pull I do see the RZR get off in gravel/grass. Out of curiosity, I would like to see two stock machines try it again on a street or something with obvious equal footing.
