I don't remember the Chevette being badged with X11 but I do remember the Chevy Citation badged X11.

Your right. My mistake

I had a first year Chevy Citation 6 cyl.  That car was fast , versatile and a lot of fun to drive.

Believe it or not that V6 Cyl high output engine in that Citation was quick.  It did not weigh a-lot.  It sat a little low and really hugged the corners.  It was the first Front Wheel Drive car we ever owned and I like the way it handled.  It was a hatchback which made it very nice for the things our young family needed to haul.

High output 2.8. Lol. I have driven those. Still don't agree with you as being fast. Even back then, new. But to each his own.

Agreed.  

The 2.8’s had a 0-60 time of a week to 10 days. 
 

And 1/4 mile times?  Let’s just say that erosion is quicker.
