It might be cool… but is it worth the price? 71% of you think that $3.5 million is a good deal for , and today we're going with a more affordable machine.

We've seen that it's possible to and it goes without saying that we totally approve of that project. 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?
