LMAO!!!
Not only did this 4 (does it even have 4???) wheeled monster beat a GT Mustang, but also a "Japanese Sport Bike"!!!!
If I ever lost a "race" to a Prius, I'd hand over my keys and get on my knees

RE: Beware the Prius...
sorry for double post, but a couple of them are talking about how they went to the track and did the 1/4 in 17.8 secs. WHY would you take a 17.8 second car to the track?? Do you not get pointed and laughed at enough as is?
