I’m pretty sure that’s an urban legend. 

Is the Prius going 130mph?

Achievement unlocked: Kobyashi Maru 

Not so much quality but a limitation of the tech. They were vacuum operated and relied on many moving parts. They had vacuum reservoirs to help boost the performance but it takes a lot of suck to make those big heavy lights move, even counterweighted and balanced like they were.
