I have an 09Z1TurboLXR, love the sled, it has been great (4000miles), love the heated seat too. The track on the other hand, single ply cobra is a slow track (slows down the sled). Top speed 108mph on my sled with everything stock except D&D stage 1 clutch kit and 204 woody grandmaster's. Try to buy one with a ripsaw instead, but the 09's are dirt cheap right now, seeing brand new sleds for $9k in Ontario, not sure where you live

I have a 2010 z1 turbo lxr and its been flawless. First off the lxrs ride is smooth but can handle the rough stuff as well. The handling is great as well. I run snowtracker agressive and the steering is precise and zero darting. These are a must have! I put on 290 miles on the last ride of the season and conditions were groomed rr grade and tight twisties and at the end of day was ready for more. Now I was riding with a 1200 skidoo and a 800 etec and rode them both and the z1 turbo lxr rode so much smoother. The only place the 1200 outshined it was when trail got really tight and rough. Now if I did lots of off trail riding this would not be the sled for me cuz the front weight just sinks in the snow. The heated seat on this sled is a must! Yes its not needed but sure is nice on a cold day. So if you are a groomed trail rider who likes comfort 15miles per gallon excellent handling and wicked fast topend then this sled is for you!

Lot of people running the SnowTrackers on the Tz1 and Z1's. Tempted to try them out and put them on the old T660t that we will keep too.
Thanks to all you guys for model year feedback and knowledge.
