Bought my 99 zrt 600 brand new, it was my first sled. Grew up in michigan my whole life and never sledded until 99 when I bought that thing. It got modded and actually made good power. On the dyno the tiny 600 made 134hp. The D&D clutching was good for 9450rpm. Same brand triple pipes even tho it came factory with triple pipes but the D&D pipes into a small 3 into 1 MBRP can made for some sweet noise. V-force reeds, Racepak computer on the dash with triple display. Never actually went inside the engine because i bought it new but kept it clean and mint. Holtzman dial a just knob was very helpful in the UP where temps would get much colder than where we usually rode east of Gaylord. I got into watching the weather all week and jetting and raise or lower the needles at home in anticipation for the weather that weekend so i was always real close. The dial ad-just really helped tweak the fuel curve so the plugs were always clean. Amsoil Dominator synthetic was all it snorted. That machine still lacked low end. Tried playing with gearing but couldnt find the sweet spot. Anyway the little 600 might have been behind out of the hole but if there was enough lake it would edge out all the 800s and even my buddies 900 twin. That 99 zrt baby 600 was the last of the "traditional" sleds because just a few years later the Revs and F6, F7 stand up style became the new thing and it stuck.
