An X1/9 owners first Ferrari drive

She owns a sweet green X 1/9 if I'm not mistaken. She's pretty sweet herself!! :)

I think I've read that she has a Mondial as well after this video was shot.
 
Funny. That is an early 3.0 quatrovalve and is a very slow Ferrari by Ferrari standards. That era Mondial is also very low and wide. In fact I believe its one of the longest wheel base Ferraris available from that era. They under steer horribly. She would have had a lot more fun in a 328. The 328s are about 3 seconds quicker to 60 as well.

These era Ferrari have similar characteristics to the X but have 500 times higher standards of quality in almost every regard for the exception of the owners.....:)

The Euro 3.0 QV engine is ok...

It's the 2 valve injected engine that was not so powerful. It's still not bad, but in Europe it made 215'ish hp, while in North America it made 205hp.

Yes, 328s are more powerful. And a whole lot more expensive.

There was a 3.2L version of the Mondial, and even a 3.4L in the Mondial T - same engine and trans as the 348.

Either way, the engines all sound quite nice IMHO.
