raced a PRIUS last night....huh?

[melmark]

I raced an old lady in a prius last night, right in front of the retirement home, and barely beat her from light to light! I was at the light where I do most of my street racing, right in front of the senior citizens recreation center, next to the Toddler Day Care facility, when this 92 yr old in a black prius and spinner wheels signaled that she wanted to throw down.

As soon as everyone crossed the street after the light turned, we hit it, and I barely beat her to the next light about 2 blocks down. Huh?

And I've just installed my SoS 3.8 stroker with a modified Lovafab intercooled turbo putting out 22 psi with a shot of nitrous with a dyno proven 1266 hp!

Has anyone else had this problem when street racing a prius? Maybe I can add some electric assist motors and a battery pack before I race her again?

Nice wounding man! I suspect you were spinning your tires the whole way.Shame on people putting nursing homes and preschools on the few good places left to street race nowdays!:biggrin:

There's actually a tuner out there who makes the Prius into a 3 to 4 second 0-60 monster.

We have a fleet of priuses at work. Very good cars and will do 100mph top speed.:smile:

Great write up!
That certainly fixed the inferiority complex, small penis syndrome, and whatever void that one has. Last time I raced my father-in-law in his 1988 Toyota van, I beat him by a nose. I immediately felt 2 inches longer "cough, cough" I meant TALLER.:biggrin:

Maybe I just have PRIUS envy?

 

[docjohn]

The term would be priusism!:wink: Remember to seek medical attention :biggrin:

No thanks, I call a nurse! :wink:

He forgot to mention that he raced the prius on foot...to get to the nsx...with the keys.

Must have been this one

Perhaps he encountered one of those rare Prius GT Prototypes:

... apparently the factory backed car "stretched the limits of technology on both the gasoline and electric sides" achiving 100hp/liter... for a whopping total of 145hp.
