49 seconds to 60. Did it ever get to the end of a quarter mile run?

Mine - I was in a renault 5 with an old partially sited guy who scared me to death. He just didn't see anything coming but that was more of the driver than the car.

My wife used to have a SEAT Marbella with a heady 650cc engine. The back seat was a piece of cloth stretched between two uncomfortable bars deck chair style. The washer jet was a rubber suction button - no motor pump they really went in for weight reduction. When you were driving along a strong gust of wind literally slowed the car up. You'd go from 60mph to 40mph in a headwind and it really didn't like hills, or passengers or heavy loads, or roads really.
