It's a good job I have then!
I found one test (Sprite MkII 1100) which gives a figure of 50 seconds to
coast from 80 to 32mph and also states "Total drag at 60 mph = 75 lb" under
the Tapley Data, whatever *that* means.
Another test, of a MkIII Midget this time, gives 80 to 40mph in 40 seconds
(the Spitfire it was tested against slowed to 30mph in the same 40 seconds)
A third test, also a MkIII Midget showed 70 to 12mph in 60 seconds.
Not especially meaningfull in themselves, but if you have a handy stretch
of open road, I'll let you determine your own figures for a modern fwd
supermini to compare.
