I plan on taking the prius to the track soon to see what it'll do in the 1/4. I've been reading up on how to launch it. This is what I've came up with as the best way to drag race a prius based on only what i've read:

- Charge the battery to full by holding the gas and brake all the way down till the engine shuts off.

- Launch the car in "B" mode because it will pre-load the engine to "launch"

- Of course try to have as little fuel as possible

I think I should be able to hit somewhere in the mid 17 second range. (hopefully) which is actually not bad.
B- Mode lol wtf..

They talk about beating all kinds of cars that are way faster then them.. its hilarious..

Fuck you prius owners..

I've read over things like this before for those cars. Pretty funny really, but if it works then I guess you can't argue with results.

Holy shit that diesel video was amazing.

I'm pretty sure some of those guys have modded the cars to run crazy times.
