    How many times can you see a Prius C on a racetrack? And to think they can pass a miata and Audi A4 ;)

    Isn't performance hampered when the hybrid battery is depleted? How can it keep up?

    Cool, a good driver in an underpowered car can do wonders. Being older I remember the glory days of European rallying. A driver named Erik Carlsson drove a 750cc SAAB to many wins beating out much more powerful Citroens, Mercedes, Porches, Fords etc. Never underestimate a Prius C

    I am impressed!

    And I have coupe questions:
    What was you mas speed @Track?
    Did you measure MPG during the track run?
    What was your overall impression about PC handling the track?

    btw, that's what I do time to time on a real roads - playing the game "Prius C" = fastest car on the road. :)

    i was actually there yesterday with my Prius as well... dragging instead.

    unfortunately i dialed in my time too slow.. and actually broke out during the drags that i was participating in... weather got cooler and i ended up going 0.048 sec faster than i ever thought i would be able to make... so... heh..

    fastest 1/4 mile time was 17.952 sec @ 75.85 MPH
    but i lost because i broke out.. dialed in at 18.00 sec.. :confused:

    i was running 18.02-somethings all afternoon.. why i dialed in at 18.00

    everyone there was surprised... so was i... didn't think i was gonna break 18... damn.. should've dialed in at 17.9 like i was thinking..

    i still wanna drive the entire track in my car though.
