Well, it wasn't a car it was a S-2 cod during my NAVY days. I rode the mail plane off the catapult of the USS Coral Sea in 1971. Fierce and unbelievable acceleration. You are instructed to lean hard forward into the harness because when you are off the catapult the acceleration stops abruptly, it's like hitting a brick wall (sort of) and would throw you hard into the harness if you weren't already leaning into it. WOW.
