Default Beat A Toyota Prius Thank God!!!

So you Accent drivers with a near to stock setup like mine know how slow our cars really are when lined up with someone even with a stock civic so i thought i would share my win against another car.

I'm on the highway a prius cuts me off pretty bad that my tires locked when i braked. I'm not a road rage kinda guy nore do i race so i just downshifted and passed him. Having a SRI on my car makes it loud when i'm passing cars I guess he got the wrong impression. when i passed him he comes behind me flashes his lights a few times then goes to pass me. I let him get by me and figure what the heck so i down shift 2 3rd going at 100km/h. Quickly get nose to nose with him, as i shift into 4th he had absolutely no chance as i waved goodbye and passed him. Didn't have that great satisfaction though knowing i beat a prius WOOHOO
