However, the supercharged 3800 V6 engine is easy to find, fits nicely under the Citation's hood, and belts out more power than the lamentably semi-sucky Cad V8. How much power? Well, get yourself a a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_3800_engine#Series_II"Series II supercharged 3800/a and you'll have 205 horses deltorque-steering your Citation into the nearest concrete object/del launching that sub-2,500-pound X-11 like it's got JATO assist! That's what we've got here: a pretty clean-looking '85 Citation X-11 with a Series II blown V6, and all for just $7,500. Think that's a good price?br / em[a href="http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/cto/996718910.html"Craigslist Tampa Bay/a, go a href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2009/01/85_Citation_Supercharged-804px.jpg"here/a if ad disappears.
