Here's what id like to see from doo from the factory, I din't read all of this thread so I don't know if this was talked about already.
Floating removable secondary.
Coil over rear suspension, get rid of the bloody torsion springs already!!
Better front shocks.
174" track option
Get rid of the chain and go to a belt drive system
Time to put the sled on a diet with stronger lighter Chassis parts.
Vented lightweight body panels

I have other things in mind but that my person preference that I can do myself.

Only MTC members and BRP poobahs have ridden them. There are no 2013's at any of the demo rides as the sled info has not been released to the dealers yet. That will happen in the next few weeks at the dealer meeting in Florida. Patience grasshopper. Lol.

Trust me,
If you think they would just come out with a whole bunch of things like belt drive, coilovers, 950's, factory turbos, belt drives, 174's, all at once instead of doing it in a span of 10 years.. your wrong. That would be bad marketing. the longer they keep that stuff on the shelf the better for them.

2 stroke 3 cyl is a thing of the past. It's ALL about torque.. and handling.

At this point does it matter, in 16-17 days everyone will know whats coming for 2013 unless a hurricane blows into Kissimmee FL and takes out all the prototypes and dealers.

I am going to go out on a limb and say minor changes for the Summits still carrying the 800etec. If there was something drastically different out there, we would have seen it. I don't consider vertically oriented steering a major change either. Another engine option to replace either the 800ptek or 600 carb, maybe. 900 ACE supercharged or turbo, ummm, probably not. 1200 4tec in the Summit, not unless they squeeze more HP out of it.

Everyone is playing the weight game, do we see a 20 pound reduction? If we do get that, it better not be through cheesy stupid stuff like those Polaris panel clips/screws, or holes in snow flaps. Get rid of the rear torsion springs, update the front steering and revamp the chassis/cooler section. Done.

If they dont put a little more grunt under the hood, I think i'll go with a carbon fibre chasison my 2012 and drop 50lbs. Thats gotta be comparable to adding 10-15 HP right?
