I put my first 65 miles on the C7 yesterday and I love it. The ride is incredible. I'm usually sore after the first ride of the season but I'm not sore at all. The sled pulled hard from 0-80 but then it felt like someone was pulling on the back of the sled. It kind of felt weird, I had it doing 94 in some loose hard pack and I think that is about all she had. Thats fine, I didn't buy it for top speed anyway. I lined up with my brothers zr 9 sno pro with the 1 3/8 track on 8 inches of untouched snow. It was probably a 600 foot race and I would pull him by a sled length everytime. My only complaint would be the speedo let go at 65 miles right at the end of my ride. This happened to my F7 4 different times. Has anybody else had this happen? Whats the deal? Opinions would be appreciated.

I also noticed a little ice build up on my seat where it meets the tunnel. This happened on my f7 and the seat ripped.
