The prius is a beast. I rented one to go to LA. It tops out @ 108 mph and can get 36mph at that speed. Not a bad car.

When I used to work at the Toyota dealer and we first got the Prius' in, I would take them out and race Saleen Mustangs right down in front of Ford World Headquarters and SMOKE them. I mean, totally. Right off the line the 1337ft.lb of torque in the Prius totally kept me pinned back in the seat all the way to the electronically limited 108mph. Then all of a sudden the HAL-9000 voice came on and said danger to manifold. Then I told it to shut up and punched it. All of a sudden the floor just dropped out and green painted washers/nuts/bolts just shot out everywhere. I pulled over and knew it was a clear victory for me only because my car was electronically limited. But seriously, the only reason the Saleen beat me was because his top speed was faster and he was running lo-pro's.
