My mum has a XW20 (gen 2?) prius and is bragging that it is faster than my non-turbo 1998 Toyota Starlet. I challenged her to a race at the drags but she said no. What sort of times have you guys and gals managed on the 1/4? My best time was a 18.002 in the starlet. Who would win? Cheers, Daniel
Huh? A Prius running the 1/4 in 11.83? Was that only an 1/8th mile track? 61.44 at the end? Was that the trap speed in mph? If so, there's no way something that does the 1/4 in 11.83 has a trap speed that low. Even 400+ hp sports cars can only run in the 12s or 11s...
Car and Driver got a 17.6 @ 79 MPH in a 2010 http://www.caranddriver.com/var/ezf...lication/c4df488aab8502ae1efd564bc913ca03.pdf Inside line got a 17.7 @ 78.6 MPH in a 2009 2009 Toyota Prius Hybrid vs. 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Comparison Test It is not looking good for the Starlet.
I would have to do a search in here to find the exact times I got back in 2006. With temps in 90s I got a best of 17.68 @ 79mph
