ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

It makes me wonder, if they missed that little detail and made part of the cars package look bad, what else are they overlooking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When ralliart were racing the awd magna's they changed them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
