The only way a Prius could pass me is if I allowed it to.
I briefly considered dropping down a gear or two and stomping him, but reconsidered when I realized how silly it would sound during a bench-racing session.
Have you ever had a ride in a Prius? There's an LCD panel in the center of the upper dashboard which serves as a multifunction video screen. In addition to radio station info, etc., it can also display a "power flow" animated graphic. I wonder what the screen shows when the car is pushed to its maximum speed? This, perhaps?:
