They finally built the sled they were trying to in 98( I had one also). I would go with an 01. The 02's have a DCS system on them, which pulls X'ing out to protect it.
I always had VMAX 4's before the SRX, those where fun but way to heavy. I had a really fast 1994 and I had a 1997, I hated the 1997 so bad I ordered the SRX on my 2 nd trip with the Vmax.
One of the propertys I take care of is in Bitley and it snowed there for a little while yesterday morning. I just built a new pole barn at my cottage to store my sleds, trailer and other toy, I'll be bringing mine up next week.
