Awesome driving! Love this vid. Cat's XX is the most underrated performance sxs out there. Thanks for sharing this video and best of luck in future events! Share more.

[@marshallhoaglan8922]

That rock @14:49 gave me a heart attack 😱 Glad she held together for you!

[@rugby3874]

The Wildcat handles so much better

[@70GTODAN]

Damn nice job!! Nice to see you passing all of those RZR's!! Haha I sold my 2012 RZR XP900 and picked up a 2019 Wildcat XX LTD for my new car!! Never looked back!! Love the way this machine runs and handles!! The strength of the overall car is incredible!! Even those few G-outs you hit were absorbed pretty well! I did jump a tad when you hit that one! haha Again....Nice job!! Thanks for the video!!

[@AntiPattern328]

May not have the straight line speed but you start hitting the rough stuff and just leave the Can-Am's and Polari behind... Keep Rippin Man!!!

[@provousa2253]

This is why I own a Wildcat XX its Not more powerful than both Razor and Can Am, But she will GLIDE right PAST you full speed on hard uneven WOOPS/TERRAIN ETC-ETC whatever awesome to see all of them go at it though I love them al.

[@rugby3874]

Those RZR's are turbo's

[@ngward79]

Looks fun and beautiful ! You had a great run for sure taking names in the whooped out sections, definitely had a few hard nose dives though. Great video and thanks for sharing !

[@TeamPistelak]

agreed, this thing eats whoops

[@crash3948]

Nice job Mario. Thanks for posting the video!!!

[@A1UTV]

Sorry about the camera bro. That sucks.

[@outdoorzone]

Great suspension makes great time!!

[@VegasBigfoot]

I ride that desert all the time and my Wildcat kills the other SXS's love the video. GO !

[@michaelr1760]

You must be riding against old as sxs then because no wildcat stock or built is in visual range of the rear of my x3 max after 1 min. Just like in this video that wildcat got waxed.

[@itsame_mariogee]

@@michaelr1760 Got waxed? Scrub your eyes...I caught and passed every car ahead of me and every Can Am entered.

[@itsame_mariogee]

@@michaelr1760 Hopefully your driving is a bit better than your spelling. And we are not talking about that. We are talking about you bragging that your Canned Ham would blow away an XX. But on that subject, bummer that Polaris swept the top 5 at UTVWC. Where were your Can Am buddies?

[@troykadin7003]

Great driving!

[@itsame_mariogee]

Thank you Troy!

[@thomasobrien127]

Is this a 64" car or a long travel? If 64", do you feel you are at a disadvantage against the 72" cars

[@itsame_mariogee]

In this video the car is 64" wide. I could drive the car hard pretty much anywhere and was very nimble in the tight and technical sections. Given that I am now 72" wide, I would say that I am faster in the corners given the stability. But I am not sure I would say that the 64" car was at a disadvantage to the other 72" wide cars. However, if comparing the 64" wide XX to a 72" wide XX.....then I would consider that a disadvantage when going heads up between the two. Hope that helps answer your question, the long way! haha

[@TheBandit7613]

@@itsame_mariogee I'm thinking of trading my Can Am for a Cat. It looks so plush. I'm older and don't race. We ride at Sand Hollow and lots of other places. I just don't like breakdowns. I don't really push the machine, we mostly trail ride slow to moderate. How are the 2022's and what changes need to be made to a new machine? Fun watching your videos. Make some more please.

[@j.a.s.o.n_h.e.s.s]

Great Video! That car looks so fast!

[@outdoorzone]

Have you upgraded the water pump impeller yet to a billet aluminum yet! If not I highly recommend it! Look at the DASA racing one or SpeedSxS! The stock one is prone to prematurely wearing out and causing engine failure!

[@mikeschulik8822]

Can you describe a little more of your setup? Tires, shocks, long travel? Rad relocate?

[@itsame_mariogee]

MIKE SCHULIK 33” Tensor DSR tires. Revalved and respring FOX shocks. Stock suspension. Ron Davis Radiator in stock location.

[@fabkorperformance5837]

I love the buzz phrase.. "long travel".. When will people get it.. it's not how long your Schwartz is, it's how well you use it...

[@mikeschulik8822]

FabKor Performance Long travel kit is one of the best upgrades on the XX for desert racing. Actually the car is unbeatable without a long travel on any other brand.

[@70GTODAN]

Where was this race? Watched this video countless times!! Love the driving and the strength/handling of that machine!! Love mine!! I dont run quite that hard haha but I do run West VA mountains pretty hard! So glad I bought my 2019!! What year is yours? Thanks again for the video! Good luck in upcoming races!!

[@itsame_mariogee]

Much appreciated! haha This is a 2018 Car. Please reach out if you happen to have any questions on these awesome machines! @itsame_mariogee

[@70GTODAN]

mario gutierrez Thanks bud! I’ve done 2 years of research one before I purchased and one after! Luckily many out their are racing and many are building some great aftermarket parts for these machines!! I’ve done mostly protective items, exhaust, and accessories but also wheel/tire change. Went to 15” hurricane wheels and 32” carnivores! Looking forward to a good tune! I’m at 1000 miles and haven’t touched a part except for once when I hit a tree! Ha Still no major damage! Thing is a tank!! I love it!! Good luck in the races and keep up the great videos!!!

[@fabkorperformance5837]

Very nice driving. What is done to your XX engine-wise?

[@itsame_mariogee]

Thank you! Nothing. Just ECU and slip on exhaust. I have hours in CVT tuning.

[@fabkorperformance5837]

I just picked up a 2020.. what tune/slip on, and how'd you setup your clutch.. if you don't mind sharing. I completely understand if you don't want to share. Thanks

[@itsame_mariogee]

@@fabkorperformance5837 Alba Racing ECU and a Speed SxS exhaust. CVT is my own set up mixed from many different parts but it started as Alba's clutch kit.

That’s the current plan. Yes.

[@itsame_mariogee]

Thanks! 33" Tensor DSR and the shocks have been Revalved and resprung at FOX in El Cajon, CA.

What’s your top speed with the Alba ecu flash??

[@njorgnjorg6057]

What place did you take in the race. You had that xx rippin

[@davidlincourt2700]

The posted race results show the #93 car finished 35th overall and 14th in class. It looks like they only finished 2 laps out of a 4 lap race. Too bad because they were really rippin.

[@itsame_mariogee]

Thank you! I only made it a few miles into lap 2 before my coolant line blew off at the thermostat. Got coolant back in the car but couldn't get the air bled out of the cooling system before going a lap down. Ended my day there.

[@meanoldbonbon2405]

wish i could see but only broken glass or cammera

[@outdoorzone]

Wow!!!bad ass!!!

[@outdoorzone]

How’s did you finish??
