Syco's post shows the first 2 seconds.

This one shows 6 seconds.

Ack... double post..

I'll take the opportunity to point out from the graph that Prius took 5 seconds to accelerate 30mph to 50mph (50km/h-80km/h) the same as 2.4l Camry while the 01 Prius too 6 seconds.

If I'm on the front line at the traffic lights it is very rare that I'm not the leading car after they change.

I don't rush to a red light though, as soon as I know I have to slow or stop I lift off, and I look a long way ahead.
