Prius SCCA Solo II FSP

ohiocityprius · 03-05-2006, 10:20 PM

Hey everyone!

Happened to be at the Cleveland car show over the weekend. Took some shots of the Prius SCCA Solo II car.

Here are the listed mods:

ZZE Series Celica coil-over front struts (TRD USA), with special spring and dampening rates.

ZZE series Matrix rear suspension units (TRD USA), with changed spring length and stiffness.

Prius Racer front fenders and front lip spoiler.

"Rolled" rear fenders.

WedsSport TC-005 lightweight forged racing wheels.

Hoosier 9" racing slicks.

Prius Racer 6-point roll cage.

SPARCO carbon fiber racing seats.

Molly Design graphics.

Hope everyone enjoys the pics. Beyond the roll cage, seats and steering wheel, everything looked stock inside.

Thank you OHIOCITYPRIUS for grabbing these shots of the car. I have been looking for a while to see how the public is reacting to the car. Good to see those of you out their enjoying Mike and I's work. Unfortunatly the specs posted are the "simplified so the public understands them" specs, if anyone is interested in more detailed info (regarding drivetrain, etc.) then I would be happy to send out a revised general spec list again on this thread. I would also be happy to post the hi-res photos of the car for anyone to look at as well. Thank you again for your interest!

Strong,

I'd love to see the "real" specs. I'm really curious about horsepower/torque figures and what kind of increases have been seen. Also, I've wondered how a CVT holds up to the stresses of an SCCI event.

I really like the look of the car. It is surprising what a graphics package, wheels, tires and suspension can. I was quite impressed and I found many at the show to be quite surprised that a Prius could be the real deal.

I loved the car and can't wait to drive the "city-fied" version! Still on the wait list.
