I have always wanted an X1/9 , but stock they are nothing like that.

Any more info on what the hell they did to that . I noticed a Suzuki  "S" on the back.

I had a die-cast toy (Corgi or Dinky) X1/9 when I was a kid.  I think it was metallic green.  It reminded me of the Triumph TR7, which was one of my favourite cars as a youngster.

I owned a Fiat X1/9 1300 in the 80's.  Nice little car, but under powered.  The X1/9 in the video is running a Suzuki GSXR1100 motor.  They ran a Kawasaki 1100 before that, b ut the Suzuki makes more power.  Small cars with high power bike motors are very popular in European short track racing and hill climbs in the 1000 - 1300 cc class.

How about this Fiat 600 with a Hayabusa 1300 motor!: 600 proto donuts motor hayabusa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=fADzBNK1vmU#)

So were the Fiat models named differently in the U.S.?  

I knew the different  models of Fiat growing up as Fiat 126, 131 , 132 , 127, 600 and 124.

I really need to find a die-cast model.

A girl at my high school had one.  It was stock though, and had more than a couple reliability issues.
