Today at heathcote park race way at the Vl turbo nationals, Australias Fastest citric BA went a whopping 163.7 mhp with major traction issues , also then managed a PB of 9.1 with a 1.5860 foot 126mph mid track and backing off 150mph due to intercooler silcone hose bursting Well Done Bill /Vele cant wait to see this car putting the power down.

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

Have they pulled much weight out of the car? it's gotta have 1000hp to push a lard ass BA to 163. Awesome stuff!

Nothing much missing, mind you the car has a 9 inch in it so even more weight added to the car. Car will raise a few eyebrows soon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
