    My god. Ricer wanna-be stories of how fast they are is amazing. Evidently they are under the impression that a mid 17 second quarter mile Prius has the ability to beat: Sport Bikes, Vipers, other supercars too. Denial is such a sad state of affairs.

        THANK YOU!!!!

        This posting made my crappy day. I read every single post in that thread and had several laughs. I emailed the link to my Cousin who has an '05 Prius. He called me almost immediately. He said the car is fantastic for what it was built to do... save gas. However, he wouldn't dream of racing anyone, including a Chevy Luv.

        The most hysterical was the claim of beating a Mustang 5.0 "up a hill and around a corner".

        Seriously... Made my day.

          Now, Ken... Give the guy the benefit of doubt. He never mentioned if the GTO was parked.

          Even then, he'd probably still get smoked.

              And there are 13 pages of this. I couldn't get myself to read them all.

              The enormous low end torque must be horrifing for these people. I wonder how many G's they are pulling?

              I came up with a new mod though for my TA: Mud Flaps.

                  Lust, not love. LOL She posted something to the affect "My friend has a 2006 Corvette Z06 and after driving my Pruis, I think he's convinced and is going to buy one". I just joined to throw the BS flag. I just tried to log on but can't remember my user name. LOL

                      ????

                      These fools really think they can beat a Mustang and a Viper. Typical, totally ignorant, non performance geeks. I am sure most of the cars they are racing are not racing them. These are the guys you can take money off of if you street race. A good race for my Dually truck maybe! The next time I see one of those things I will smoke it like a 4 alarm fire. 18 second 1/4, wow the local ice cream truck can run that. What a bunch of morons. No clue at all.

                        My favorite, "I topped out at 108, only reason the M3 beat me was because he tops out at 150"

                        He only beat me because he's faster then me

                        What a bunch of mo's

                          Seriously. Did you read the list of mods these people put on there? Mud Flaps, Mesh Grille, Bumper cover....

                          I guess I should add "Windex" to the list of mods on my T/A.
