My friend had a Vega. Aluminum block, and a pooch. In the Winter before the engine had time to fully warm up, you could have the accelerator pedal mashed to the floor and not do over 35mph. It was awful.

Not only that. Because of the aluminum block, if it overheated the block seized up. One of my brothers had it happen to him.
