cheers

Dunno about this one.
Ok yes its not in the same league, but the one I saw on Monday night on North Rocks Rd was absolutely hammering. He would've been using both electic & petrol motors all the time.
I couldn't keep up from the lights (no great surprise there though Razz

), but he also wasted a Mazda 3 who was trying.

Dunno if that 3 was trying too hard, the Prius's aren't too bad but they'll only keep up with your standard echo type car but CVT mnn heheh.. should run it at 250rpm to all the time and use the electric for power rather then the petrol Confused

Oh well

Thats the main thing going in the Prius's favour. It has the same torque as your average 6 cyl diesel due to the Electric motor. I think hybrid technology is definitely the way to go...if they (toyota) were to see this and match a small efficient turbo powerplant like the 770cc turbo out of a Smart roadster combined with the torque from an electric motor, you would have one damn quick (and efficient) car.

imagine the stats...

130kw @ 5000
350nm from 1000 upward in a tabletop flat torque curve
1200kg GVM in a 4 seater sporty hot hatch...
mmmmmm.....sacrilicious Laughing
