Hot Seat Performance

Editor’s Note: I’ve had my eye on a couple of performance items from these guys for a while now. I’m particularly curious how well the new full exhaust system for the Thundercat enhances performance. The only thing that concerns me the most is the noise level. I’m not sure how much louder the exhaust will be but I’m pretty sure it will be louder than stock! I like to go fast but not at the expense of blasting everyone out of their camp as I pass by!

Here’s what the exhaust system looks like:

2008 Arctic Cat Thundercat ATV

Jeff — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 13:30:33 +0000

Arctic Cat entered the ATV market in 1995 with the largest displacement quad in the business. By today’s standards, the Bearcat 454 may be entry level, but over a decade later, Arctic Cat is still launching industry firsts with the Thundercat 1000 H2 EFI. More than double the displacement of the original Bearcat, the Thundercat is the most exhilarating, straight-line performance utility 4×4 built.

Designed and manufactured by Arctic Cat, the brand new H2 engine is a V-Twin, SOHC, liquid cooled, 950cc, Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) four stroke, built for massive torque and serious arm stretching power. Arctic Cat engineers crafted this torque-tuned motor for ultimate acceleration. The hemispherical-shaped heads create more complete, more efficient combustion for performance-winning power. Combined with 188-ft.-lbs. of torque at the output shaft, the H2 definitely Goes Big!
