    The new Prius sedan in black is pretty cool looking, kind of like a small Batmobile. Still, people buy then for the gas mileage. That's the main selling point. This Hellcat Prius is amazing, and still drives nice. Awesome build!!

      I imagine it gets rid of the EV mode entirely. Which sucks cause the best part is when you're just strolling through down no reason to have the engine running. Get on the highway engine kicks on and then ya get going

    You, Know! I passed this video up! Then came back because Leno always pulls on are chains. Then I watched. I was truly amazed at this car in how they got that engine in that prius. The sound was great with those custom headers! I have been laughing ever sense! Shawn

      Christopher May those hondas have engines and a platform that can be turned into something. The prius needed a complete redone as it's engine didn't have the honda magic 500 hp capable 4 cyl. Plus this is alot cooler than a turbo insight.

    Hey Jay, can you do a mini series or a few episodes where you talk about the different parts of a car, how they work, and what their purpose is? In a lot of your videos you mention things like headers, carbonator, etc. And to make it easier to fully understand what you're talking about, a few videos that go over the mechanics of a car would be truly beneficial!
