Who cares? It isnt a race boat! If you want to go fast buy one of these! This thing belongs to one of my buddies and he just barely got it to fit.

No he doesn't ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
Speed rules even in a slow Cobalt
I think I have the slowest bb 220 out there. Dam 240 and 300hp are kicking my ass.
It's forsale!!
I want to go faster now because of this thread!!

Is isn't about going fast for me. It is about knowing I CAN go fast. I do also like a nice hole shot in any vehicle. As far as actually driving the boat, I'm much more intrigued by the gallons per hour meter and fine tuning it to the perfect combination of speed and efficiency which happens to be in that 28 to 32 mph range. it is hard being Type A.

:lol:

Now, if I did own a Prius, it would have the Tesla S drive train coupled with a twin turbo V8. Again, I would want to be efficient except for the times when I didn't care.

In my suburban I try and beat my own record for fuel efficiency on a trip. Type A is a problem.

Glad Iโ€™m not alone. I even experimented with the eco button in my Volvo once. Just depressing

Cool read. I'm still trying to see what part of that vehicle looks like a prius. Bfun and I talked over lunch about it. He said the roof. I'm not sure.
