Lol this car is the overall quickest ba, I think the reason why he put citric in the title is to distinguish which ba xr6 he was talking about.
Anyways congratz to the gtech team

this will run an 8 as soon as they change gear ratio's in the diff, it was there first outing with a 2 speed in it, so it was hitting the limiter before the finish line!
Maybe a new pair eof slicks too!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
