I'd pulll out to pass people, floor it, and I'd look down to see that I was going 145 km/h or something as I'd be passing. All the other cars I regularly drive get up to about 120 or so when I'm passing.

One misconception about Hybrids is that they are underpowered. Let me assure you, they are not.
I hope this entire post is one big joke. A Prius' 0-60 is 10 seconds. That's slow motion if you're a car guy.
