My nominee for Slowest Car honors is ...

	Ford's Pinto Pony MPG

of several years ago.  I do not know the specs on it, but my 
'69 Cougar just as it came off of the assembly line with a 351 V8
would take off from a light at IDLE faster than the MPG could 
accellerate.  This comment is derived from my experiences riding the
brake whilest waiting for the Pinto ahead of me to crawl up to a speed
that allowed my to put my foot on the gas.
