I drove the XTZ 1000 and am quite impressed, it is very fast, can hang the tail out with throttle application at any time. It handles much better than the previous models and has several updated features such as a handbrake, improved air intake positioning to quiet the machine down, gas shocks and lowered center of gravity.
Warning, don't test drive one if you don't want to buy one.

I'm thinking AC baby 8)

Can they do it with a 50" model? It would be fast but now your messing with a Ranger size too. I want my Rhino to have a big bore kit that would put it over a 1000 cc, that would kick butt! Where's the doors, or the lawsuits?

Why do it with a 50" model. Most people that hop up RZRs and Rhinos add wheel spacers or change the suspension to make it wider. That way they are more stable, ala, Prowler. I've ridden many trails on my Prowler and the biggest problem is the rollcage interfering with tree limbs. The body of my Prowler is only 8 inches wider than most large bore ATVs (AC lists it at 60 inches, but I've measured mine at the fenders at 57 inches). That is just fine for most trails.
Rzr'z and Rhino's have a much higher chance of rollover than the Prowler, hence no need for doors and lawsuits.
The local Polaris and Yamaha dealer is a buddy of mine and he says that every one of the Rzr's he's sold have been rolled, the first two he sold were rolled in his parking lot. The Rhinos are better, but still more apt to roll.
I love the width of my Prowler just fine. And I ride in National Forests, on Jeep 4X4 Trails and high desert plateau (ie: Moab and northern Arizona).

How is the power compaired to a rzr?

The only reason to build a 50" unit is to pass the cattle gates in Utah on the GWT or Paiute Trails. I've riden both and one trip from Salina, UT to Lake Havasu, AZ on quads. Being on a 800 Sportsman seemed to just squeeze through those cattle gates on the trails.

But I agree I like the width of my Cat also.

Our group currently runs 2 rhinos,a RZR and a full sized ranger. I would say the only advantage to the narrow RZR is for the 50" or less atv trails. We street legal ours so there is no lack of riding without hitting the 50" trails. I love my rhino and have a ton of time into it but I will be testing the 1000 when my dealer gets one. I am hopeing for Cat to have fixed a lot of the stuff I did not like about the earlier prowlers I drove.
