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.

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

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.
