Stupid prius - Toyota Yaris Forums

KSIbucky · 09-23-2007, 03:44 PM

I raced a prius today and we met up at the mall and he was asking if the yaris was a hybrid i'm like it get good gas mileage and this isnt the first time

what im getting at is why do prius owners want to race so much

prius owners like to race because there faster off the line, then most cars

Ha. Most around here are slow as hell. Turbo mag turbo'd one back when they were new. Many years ago. Funny but it had some power.

Prii are pretty quick off the line, as the torque from teh electric motors are available from 0rpm... That's 65kw/160nm at the wheels available at any speed (I used to have one and have the dyno chart lying around somewhere). They DO, however, weight 1400kg...

I raced a one-legged man on a mountain bike today. He had me at launch but I quickly dusted him in the turns.

I had to lift when I saw the lady pushing the stroller down the sidewalk. I think I could've taken her on second thought.

almost all of the prius drivers i've seen are SLOOOOW. I've had to pass them because they were going under the speed limit *sigh*

steved · 09-25-2007, 12:02 PM

All the Prius I've seen so far don't know how to drive at the speed limit.

*Astroman* · 09-25-2007, 03:12 PM

All prius owners here never race, but do go the speed limit plus a few. But then I've never tried to race one, lol. It's like trying to get a dump truck to race.

^ I beat one of those today. :p
