I'll give ya a hint it was old slow and loud... vibrated like a SOB.
Oh the jokes I could make, but will keep it clean.

If it makes you feel any better Fast it has an S in it's name.
I don't think it was light, fast, or good handling, lol.
Was it the Snellerized ported 346
What’s the matter fast, your saw didn't win???
Yep Mike brought a knife to the gunfight WE SAID THAT UP FRONT. With the muff mod the 5100 may well have been a whole tenth of a second faster than the 346... then you could have strutted around here like a peacock telling everybody you have the fastest saw known to man..... but here in the real world they are all "close enough".
Ya know what Fast I call foul anyway cause my poor little MS260 was a 40cc saw competing in a 50cc saw race... get over it already.
I think pretty well all of the real testers here (not the armchair quarterbacks) agreed that the MS260 was the lightest and slowest saw in the bunch. The 346 and the 5100 are right on top of each other with the 346 feeling lighter in the hands (if not on the scales) and being a bit more nimble for the user and the 5100 feeling like it's got a touch more grunt to pull with even if the times didn't show it.
The difference is splitting hairs and can't be measured by any other means than a stopwatch and I don't know anybody who takes a stopwatch with them to cut firewood.
Ya know what Fast, when we got done cutting for the day (I believe it was) Nik asked “so what was everybody’s favorite saw of the day to run”, anybody wanna guess what we all picked???:
You know things haven't changed much since the days of the 07S. Stihls are still loud, slow and vibrate like a SOB.

Uh, lets see, the 5100 is the only saw that truly comes stock to the competition ....The 346 doesn't get ran with 3/8th .....The 346 conveniently forgets to be put on the scale. .....10" wood is all we test with.
Looks like lots of fun, good food & drinks and lots of laughs!
An objective shootout of off the shelf 50cc saws....Not hardly!
you left out; "and get the job done":jester:
To tell the truth I never noticed one being any better or worse than the others, maybe its because I've run those junky old Stihls so long I don't have any feeling left in my hands.
You're right I wasn't as fair as I should have been. They have made improvements on the noise level.
They're starting to sound desperate. I've even gotten PMs that it wasn't anything more than a drunk fest, lol. Even if there is a little inconsistency in the testing, it still proves they're at least very close. Everyone knows that handling and throttle response goes to the Husky. I would like to have seen them with the bars nearly buried in that Ash log though.
Boy, I guess I ruffled a few feathers, pointing out the obvious .....Good thing I wasn't there to keep you fella's inline! ......Glad ya all had a great time.
