They sure are fast, damn fast from 0-6.(6, not 60)

I never knew that they could hang with vipers, 5.0 mustangs, and sport bikes.

I plan on taking the prius to the track soon to see what it'll do in the 1/4. I've been reading up on how to launch it. This is what I've came up with as the best way to drag race a prius based on only what i've read:

- Charge the battery to full by holding the gas and brake all the way down till the engine shuts off.

- Launch the car in "B" mode because it will pre-load the engine to "launch"

- Of course try to have as little fuel as possible

I think I should be able to hit somewhere in the mid 17 second range. (hopefully) which is actually not bad.




the prius tops out at 108... yeah.. i know.. it does 107 easy.. does 108 easy.. and you still get 15mpg... but that's it.. you can't go faster than 108.. trust me.. i tried when racing an M3 down a highway.. all downhill.. only reason he beat me ( i had low profiles on the car) is because he tops around 150.


haha, i love it

Huh? :screwy:

i had that exact same quote copied and ready to paste and then i read what you posted...lol...

hilarious.... i think it should do the quarter mile in about hmmm 17 seconds... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Honestly, the Prius is the biggest joke on the auto market right now. I'll allow Jeremy Clarkson to explain-

Basically, the Europeans get small, low displacement diesels that get much better fuel economy. The only reason we Americans think the Prius is so amazing is that most of us don't know about what everyone else is getting.

Huh? :screwy:


Completely drain the battery, to get a full charge and not a half assed charge.

i already went over this

Prius owners = Amish dudes

Haha

reading that guy's post i wanted to reach thru my computer and slap him. even if the guy strapped a rocket to his trunk..he still probably wouldn't win. this was probably my favorite line

eco car prius, i know i know it isnt what its ment to do but come on, the car has an insane amount of torque of the line

reading that guy's post i wanted to reach thru my computer and slap him. even if the guy strapped a rocket to his trunk..he still probably wouldn't win. this was probably my favorite lineI know the cars not in any means 'fast'.. or for that matter even 'quick'..

it does make 295ftlbs of torque from 0-1200rpm, so yes, it would have a lot of 'torque' off the line.

Wow...

Stock tires suck for quick acceleration. They slip pretty easy when jamming down the gas peddle, and the TRAC robs precious acceleration time.

apparently the pruis it brutal on teh tires... all the mad torque. im jelous. i guess i should watch out for them since they are faster than M3's

wow and i thought it couldn't get any worse. that's some massive torque, i'd better cringe before i face one lol
