Fiat X/19 Performance under review. Slow, misunderstood or in need of more power?

Something I hit on when trying to review my own X1/9. Here, I look through 3 road tests from the UK that pitted the 1500cc X1/9 against bigger-engined rivals and give my opinion on their outcome. And why the X1/9 doesn't need more performance. My X1/9 review. "Two Seater Toss Up" can be found here: https://drivenit.co.uk/fiat-x1-9-vs-toyota-mr2/ My Toyota Parallel Pomeroy event with the MR2. https://drivenit.co.uk/toy-boy-toyota/ And in case you didn't make notes, here are the performance figures. *One thing l noticed was figures for the X1/9 bounced around a bit. And you'll notice as the video goes on.
