You were most likely around 99-100 mph. My buddies speedo is the same. Im sure the track was spinng about 110.

My z-1 turbo At 177 hp I have GPS at 117mph top end on snow.

I will get back to this subject, as soon as I get the proper information, because I know this is so NOT true, Apex has been beating the z1 turbo's, and yes the yamaha's were stock, and were gonna go that route, I can get some software to, and beef up my yamaha so that it would be even  harder to read my mudflap that says "here kitty kitty".  also if I am not mistaking, arctic cat has a suzuki motor in it!  hmmm........:shock:

I notice you talk alot of smack with your kitty cat turbo.  Put a turbo on a yamaha and then compare the two.  From what i hear those Z-1 turbos are not that much faster than a stock apex.  Have you raced any????  Turbo Yamaha's that is......This is for the yamaha right snowmobiles right.  How many artic cat 4 strokes have over 15,000, 25,000 or 35,000 miles on them.  Brag about your speedo and mph on the gps on the artic cat side.
