actually my buddy had two of them (yugos) with modded fiat motors. they rocked. the stock motor is a fiat 1300 and you can pop the 1500 in there from the x19, shave and port the head and scream it to 8k. the one motor he had was around 12:1 compression and that car moved. fun little car. now dont get me wrong, it was the chinciest car ive ever been in (and i drive k cars lol) but it was really light and was easy to make handle well.
i love this one.
