    Hey everyone I'm a new Prius owner and I'm in love with my new ride! Traded in my gas sucking Chevy Trailblazer SS. I will say going from 700 HP all wheel drive to this is a change. I loved the look of my Prius that's why I traded!

    Thanks Bisco! I miss the speed but since I turned 28 I thinks it's time to spend money else where. I traded this for the Prius

    Forgot to say welcome to the Prius family! You've got a great start with the SMART money you spent on your new Prius. Now the next question is; what mods are going to do to it?:)

    I didn't know I could mod it any more beyond buying the Prius Plus Performance Model? What am I missing???

    I'm not into modding except for maybe trim and moldings, but if you got 700 hp in a Trailblazer SS, I'm sure you'll think of something beyond the Prius Plus package, which is a great start! You certainly thought out of the box with the Trailblazer so thought you might do the same for the Prius? Although I doubt you'll get anymore performance from the ICE, but I did see some who added a turbo or supercharger. Not sure if it was just for show or actually street driven but maybe a possibility? I wonder why no one has thought of swapping the Prius v drivetrain (lower gear ratio) into the Liftback for extra zip in their drive? It probably wouldn't affect mpg's much. Anyway whatever you do, have fun with it!

    The SS was forged bored and stroked from a 364 to a 402, level 7 transmission, 150 shot of nitrous, ported polished heads, intake, and so much more...

    Oh I will be for sure!!! I just need to wait another 92,000 miles or another 4 years 10 months till I can start pulling motor parts. I might look into the gearing for sure
