An X1/9 is a lot like a 3/4 scale 308 with a four banger. I still have a soft spot for them, a lot like many have a soft spot for a beetle or a 914.
They took a few SCCA national championships, and I always admired how well the stock ones handled, and how nicely they soaked up New England back road pavement. Fiats were very good to me when I was a kid. It is true that they were not very quick, but they would get up to speed, and I never slowed down.
