I think you got the et part right, but i think his 60' was 2.70
He needs to launch from a lower rpm, get new tires, feather throttle, stiffer springs or something. That was real embarrasing, a prius!

EDIT: that prius launched like a monster!

There was a Prius at the track one night about a year ago. And I actually lined up against it once, I believe it ran a 16.x can't remember the trap speed. Don't worry, I didn't blow the run.

Surprised he didn't pop an axle with that ridiculous clutch drop. Probably would have been for the better...

My guess is that they were bracket racing. The prius prius had a time of 17.3 up on the board before he crossed. It explains why he got such a crazy jump. He left atleast a second or two before the Z.

Onto the Z, Im shocked he didnt break anything. Thats some vicious wheel hop. Def needs some more practice.
