I figured the r18 would be faster but anyway !

1. Get a CAI by Injen or fugita for better sound and sligtly more pull.
2. Get a cat-back exhaust system.
3. Then go prius hunting again Enjoy this should help you some =/

wow. that sucks. intake, exhaust, downpipe, short shifter (dont know if they make one for r18 or not). maybe better tires? or swerve at him and make him slow down! (that was a joke. not advocating bad driving).

its already been said, but buy an si. for a few thousand more u get SOOO much more! more power, nicer seats, nicer rims, better everything. and the speedo is RED!

UMMMMMMMM............. WTF is wrong with u??? A prius??
ok,ok,ok....hold on. I have a completely stock 07 LX. I've already raced an accord
and a scion tc and beat them both. I always stand by the old saying "it's not the car, it's how you drive it".

or you could spend $2k more for the extra whopping 57 hp you get from an SI.
I think I'll keep my LX, thanx.

A good portion of it is anyway. That is insane to lose to a turd little hybrid.
Is you manual or automatic, if its a manual did you remember to shift outta 1st???

ahaha, make sure you go down to pep boys and get some "neon racing pedals" i heard they give you 15-20 extra horsepower, and also mix your gas with some salt for a quick octane boost!!!
