Hahahaha...you have got to be f#$king kidding me!
Mustang 5.0 vs. Prius - Prius won
I would pay 50 large to anybody in a Prius that can straight up beat a 5 litre Mustang. Won't happen...ever.
1990 300ZX NA vs. F-14 Tomcat - 300ZX won
I swear, it was up hill...

the mustang had to be in bad shape.
1972 240z w/L28, tokico shocks and springs, and a 5 speed waiting. Also running high performance ultra mega blinker fluid, that's at least an extra 50hp to the wheels.
1987 Toyota Supra Turbo 5-speed. Belongs to me until my friend get's back from Iraq.

A:


Those Prius drivers should at least have a four foot wing before talking sh!t like that.
With a park bench wing, a black hood, some neon, and a fart can; they may just beat a Ferrari.

Yup good ole electric engines... torque up the arse... but i cant think of one car a toyota prius can honestly beat... besides old honds that are complete stock cause those run a good 18 sec 1/4 ...
I mean honestly... every car they list on that site will beat them in everyway possible.. even to the gas station ;)

A:


"Also, 4 cylinders didn't come in displacements bigger than 2.0 litre back then."
I can think of a couple 4 cylinder engines back in the early 90's that were bigger than 2.0. These guys are just plain dumb thinking their cars are fast. I agree that the cars these guys are saying they beat probably didn't even realize they were racing.

well, if you read carefully he beat one guy "through first gear" and the other guy "up a hill around a curve".
i could see that much torque winning in both cases.

LOL
the prius tops out at 108... yeah.. i know.. it does 107 easy.. does 108 easy.. and you still get 15mpg... but that's it.. you can't go faster than 108.. trust me.. i tried when racing an M3 down a highway.. all downhill.. only reason he beat me ( i had low profiles on the car) is because he tops around 150.
**** man so all i need it prius ... not a piece of fine engenering like an M3..... Makes you wonder if that either the guy was still high from smoking weed.. or the M3 was a badged 316!! .. The only reason ... yeah right !!
I only lost to a 9 second stang because he was 5 seconds faster.. But he only won because he has a gazillion more hp.. haha LOL that is nice reasoning to loose ... I lll race any one on this board .. and i will only loose because one of teh reasons stated above !!

What I find funny is that they think they're "doing their part" for the environment, when in reality if they truely did care they'd quit driving all together and walk or get a bicycle. Oh wait that's right, that involves effort and inconvenience! Silly me for thinking their intentions are genuine lol

"Just checked my Consumer Reports auto issue from last year and they managed an 18.1 @78 mph so mid 17s is certainly a good target to shoot for. Be sure to let us know how it does."

I like how smug the USB2000 or something dood is. He didnt have a clue, went from saying it wasnt about performance to trying to argue the performance of a Prius.
