How Canadian can you get, eh? Do the drivers get to wear "invisibility tuques"?
Well yes, it's the winter white camo gear. Fucking effective to I might add.
Use good mufflers and paint the fricking thing white.....$100.00...
Only in Canada you say??.....$620,000...

And when that does little to reduce the noise?
$620,000 is cheap to design a new vehicle and build some prototypes.
I like the sound of a good sled but the best part is they smell terrific when they are waiting for you to get on.
8) I wonder what it will look like.

I love the smell of sled exhaust in the morning!

The title is misleading - the snowmobile itself is not $620k. That price includes the testing for it as well as the snowmobile.
Another trial saw the machine driven at a steady speed on a mix of flat terrain and hilly snow-covered roads until batteries died.
Soldiers wielding a radar gun also tested the stealth snowmobile's acceleration as it raced 100 metres down a flat, snow-packed track.

I read the story and realize it's not just the price of the 1 snowmobile, just the idea of our government spending over half a million dollars on testing a "stealth" snowmobile is what sends shivers up my back. I don't care if it's gas, electric or nuclear powered, there just has to be something more practical than a "stealth" snow machine.

Snow Skies.

$620 000 is a pittance in the grande scheme of things, especially given the significant tactical advantage being silent on the move would give.
