He’s going down in B mode. That’s golden, it’s like low gear in a normal transmission, it activates the regen braking at a lower scale so it’s constantly charging/slowing down the car without ever hitting the brake. Smart af.
I almost wish they had an actual handbrake because I know what B gear does, but I always forget to use it 🤣 and I know the Prius can't accidentally reverse while driving, but I still feel sketchy about that xD
@@Sam-vw2be yes i used to "downshift" my 1st prius (2005) onto "fast corners" every day and then after a couple of years it started to make noise. Luckily not many fools like me ruining transmissions, the used parts market made them very cheap to aquire. I think i paid under $300 shipped off eBay. It's been a long while so i don't remember the exact number.
I drive my prius like that on winding roads. Its actually pretty fun. One guy in an m3 said, " how do you do that in a prius?". Lmao. I was right behind him the whole time on nichols canyon.
i absolutely love this generation Prius. Looks just as amazing as supercars without the downside of bad fuel economy and repair costs. Honda really nailed it with this model
Honesly, the prius isnt that slow, EU standard, in US its different tho... But yea, its failry fast 0-60 kmh. And its rumours that it can soon be tuned via software to 170hp.
DUDE you nailed the commentary...... your actions, reactions and brutal honesty is downright awesome....Great job!...... btw I owned a prius until just recently!
I'm down to race whenever I get another mostly stock 2nd gen Legacy. I wanna see this madness first hand... Btw I feel like this is the ONE Prius in the world that won't cut me off.
Awesome build! I was rather surprised he did all that other stuff but left the drivetrain totally stock, didn't engine swap it or something. Still awesome build. My opinion is that he should have omitted the stickers and used wheels that look at least stock-ish, so it would be more of a sleeper. I've had an idea for a while of putting a Prius body, preferably a 2nd generation as those are the most "jellybean" looking, on a Tesla Model S P100D floor pan. Try to make it look as stock as possible, inside and out - full interior and everything. The only hint that something is amiss is that it's too quiet for a Prius, no gas engine sound. Then when you floor it...
Modifying a Prius is quite an accomplishment. The starter/generator is a combined unit integrated into the CVT transmission and transaxle. There is probably a million lines of code tying everything together. You can't just upgrade piece by piece. Getting it to handle is quite an accomplishment. Especially the electric steering. The start/stop sequence certainly isn't stock. Try to remember what fun it was to drive a Porsche 356 or TR3 with even less horsepower. A stock Prius will go 100 mph, much faster than you want to toss it into a tight corner. You don't really develop your driving skill until you run out of horsepower and still keep getting faster.
Parker. Compare 6:16 with 9:30. Did you notice the "Mystery Driver" did not cross his hands when taking the hard bends? Which one do you think is better (control and safety)?
At about 8:40 he speaks about not having the driver show his face because of fear that the cops will know who he is, haha while he is explaining this the license plate of the car is in clear view.... Comedy. Pure comedy.
4:37 Hahaha! Oh, now c'mon! More than half of people on fecking Priuschat of all things have discussed and debated on recommending rear anti-roll bars and chassis stiffeners. Every prius driver likes racing down hill - it's the Ultimate Hypermiling!
Even at 2850 I'm thinking to myself..... That's heavy as fvck! But then again I'm comparing that to my 1900 lb CRX. Yep, 1900 lbs, 9.5 lb wheels (15x7 RPF1), fully worked suspension, this car is loads of fun.
Lucario Plays Yeah, probably only ever seen in Japan though, I think if anyone used the kit anywhere else they'd get keyed or slashed in a couple hours lmao
You won't hate a Prius when it's the only car that never breaks down. I own a Prius and a 99 eclipse gsx 5 speed. Prius is my daily, and the eclipse is the fun car I beat on. I can drive anywhere and have zero worries about the car breaking down
Dude! I always thought you sounded really robotic in your older videos. But you speak in a much more natural and engaging way in your newer videos. Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
1st comment ever!! I really enjoy your channel Parker watch all the time. This Prius video was funny as hell ((up down up down triangle circle left right circle)) traction control off lol. If you were thinking about doing a Supra why not go all out and do something crazy like a Subaru 22B STI. If that's something you would do I know someone in Europe with a euro spec one that is selling for a respectable price.
Only one question. Why do you need a power full, fast car in United States? The fastest one can drive is 80 mph in average and that is already with the risk of getting stop... so tell me why do you need power???
"No one puts after market wheels on a Prius." Working at a Toyota dealership I can tell you that you are 100% incorrect. A TON of people do.
I hate prius drivers they are so annoyingly slow and they don’t ever use there turn singnals
TH-cam TH-cam talking bout bmw drivers
@@youtubeyoutube3347 you can always go around them🤣
>A TON of people do.
That's only ~7 Americans.
and aftermarket exhaust as well.

The Auris Hybrid has a manual handbrake and you can reverse it until about 5km/h in D
And it's an easy way to ruin the transmission.
...ask me how i know
@@RichRotorhead For real?? I do this all the time

“I can’t show his face because he cops will be after him” Shows License plate.....
He just doesn't want anyone to know that he drives a Pirus!!
... and his face
at like 9:40 you can slow it down and see his face
sorry i mean 9:34
Afkchickn that’s literally what I said to myself when he said that
"It's so quiet in here"
*continues to shout so loud that the microphone distorts*
What`s with all the shouting?
Probably replaced its battery with energizers
Bread 12 packs of them ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Lol
Hmm. Slow car. Beats everyone downhill. American takumi?
If he painted it panda style that'd be perfect xD
Mainiac1221 I kind of want to do that now.
Takumi that has really bad taste in cars and drives a car with power to weight ration worse than a tractor
Panda paint = adds 300hp
Code Simpson you
I drive my prius like that on winding roads. Its actually pretty fun.
One guy in an m3 said, " how do you do that in a prius?". Lmao.
I was right behind him the whole time on nichols canyon.
They're really good for that 😂 I have an 05 2nd Gen I just bought for food delivery. Great highway acceleration actually lol! It's a funny car
I swear
Downhill racing
Underpowered
Underdog
Skilled and crazy driver.
This is initial D in real life holy shit.
This is incredible
^
don't forget being a toyota that everyone makes fun of
YES!!
Mann
Yeah the AE86 was like the Prius of the 90s
This let me think of Initial D
Bon Cheung yeah, some concept where its mostly about driving skill with hated car by comunity
owner of that prius must be related to fujiwara family.
Takumi's relative. Lol
GET OUT
Comparing a Prius to the 86 🤨🧐
You were terrified at the turns he was taking 😂. Buddy’s driving it like a Ferrari
That scared me. Did you not notice the distance between the car and the wall ?
i absolutely love this generation Prius. Looks just as amazing as supercars without the downside of bad fuel economy and repair costs. Honda really nailed it with this model
Ah yes, *H O N D A P R I U S*
HONDA?
Not the sharpest tool in the shed but that’s ok ;)
All I wanna hear is the 1.8L Engine Screaming on PWR Mode
oh huh i just realized he wasn't driving in pwr mode 🤔
I think PWR mode was available to the larger version of the Prius (V or CX)
@@LowQualityMemesHere No man, it's right there, above the Hazard
"pwr" is active when you floor it anyways
same!
Ironically it looked like you had more fun in the prius than the 675LT
ikr, he was literally screaming.
Honesly, the prius isnt that slow, EU standard, in US its different tho... But yea, its failry fast 0-60 kmh. And its rumours that it can soon be tuned via software to 170hp.
iTheGeek nah
New Mclarens had no soul except the P1 and MP4 12C tho
More fun to drive a slow car fast than to get in a super car who’s limit you’ll never or exceptionally rarely reach

Next video: Strait piping my girlfriend gone wrong!
How could that ever go wrong?
She’s a squirter
“I cant show him in the video cuz the cops will arrest him....” **shows clear video footage of license plate**
who said the registered owner is the driver? could be anyone
Maybe the number plate is not genuine
Maybe it was strictly for LOLZ
California is real good about not disclosing info with just a license plate number.
Why u telling me subscribe when u havent even started the video. No
I just said the exact same to my gf. You earn it by showing, you don't ask for it
That Flux Capacitor kicking in, yo!!
TheLegend27 😂😂😂😂

Parker- It destroys the downhill
Takumi-Hold my tofus
Just checked your website and your merchandise prices are much more reasonable than most youtubers. Getting some merch right now!!
Review the hellcat swapped Prius. Yes that's right it was at Sema.
Brycen3220 he did didn't he?
wait, economy car that wins on the downhill?
*distant eurobeat*
Prius project sounds more interesting than my camry track project haha 👍🏻
JayVpro DO BOTH
the prius actually looks nice
doesnt show the drivers face but shows the license plate?
Doom Lord smart
Do you have access to a police database? Didn't think so, go Google that license plate, and you won't find anything.
Colin D the police have access to a police database ...
Colin D well, the guy was worried about POLICE finding him, a license plate help a lot...
Colin D did I say they did anything wrong ? Lmao
I'm happy he's a good driver cuz that steering is sus and those cliffs are pretty gnarly
It has 0.2 more liters than the Mercedes Project One... that means it's 8% faster and doesn't need rebuild @ 20K miles
I just bought an '06 Civic Hybrid for $400. Needs a new battery.
Now I think I want to make it handle, because this video is hilarious!
"Cant show his face" shows it like 5 times and the whole time in the corner and shows plate
DRIVING A PRIUS EXTREMELY FAST INTO TO A WALL TO AVOID TAXES LOL!
The only thing more cancerous than a Prius is the PT Cruiser.
I think it's funny that Chrysler put the turbo motor from the Neon SRT4 in the top model
True
Golden God but looks like a total shitbox
Golden God ya but no one ever buys a top of the line pt cruiser
Justin Waters the only thing more cancerous than a Pt Cruiser is a *ford pinto* and that's fax from a fax machine
Owners face to go along with the tag at 9:35. 😂
Matt Cheatwood He looks like TI.
Doesnt want to show the owners face soe the cops dont find him, as he's showing the license plate behind him. RIP
Mansoor Pashtoon 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ typical Parker
Mansoor Pashtoon ME!
Mansoor Pashtoon he forgot to un bolt it

Each sticker gains +5 hp!
Lol ricer's believe
Facts
This car must cause the closest thing to the reaction you see in Initial D when they first encounter the 86 tearing them apart on the downhill.
Loved the background music through the review! Nice change from just the dialogue. You ought to do more of that!
you're that eye test dude .Hey
i instantly recognized it, haywyre fan here
dart 345 haha yep that's me. Didn't think anyone would recognize me on a car channel lol.
I’d get aston martin over the lamb...
I freaked as soon as the video started Im obsessed with haywyre
"Normally I'd be either crying or attacking the car" That's just pathetic
Did anyone else think he was joking when he was explaining the traction off process? 😂😂 wtfffffff
no, that's real.
"the cops will be on him if i show his face" *instantly shows license plate*
You hid his identity but you put the damn plates in the video
He's an amazing driver! He mastered the road, car, and himself.😍😍😍
1:29 Who noticed the Squirrel?
Max Sayenko its tata
Max Sayenko nope
Max Sayenko its parker
Max Sayenko that’s one big squirrel alright
Max Sayenko me
the prius that we own is surprisingly nimble for example going around a turn at 60mph when the recommended speed of 45
"it beat a viper" ha ur funny
Why is that funny?
Static Zer0 there's this thing that exists and it's called sarcasm
It actually will.
In price... That's it
Just on that hill i bet
Owner of this Prius has to be a Samurai spirit person!!! Nicely done vehicle!
The owner of this Prius is definitely a driving school instructor!
Parker. Compare 6:16 with 9:30. Did you notice the "Mystery Driver" did not cross his hands when taking the hard bends? Which one do you think is better (control and safety)?
"Prolly keep up with the Telsa roadster"
bmx beginner nahh
Jordy Westerhof better mileage
bmx beginner ffs 😂
Tesla would brake down and the prius wouldnt reach 60.
Cezar Petrea whaha wtf😂🤙🏻
Man dude that sound the car makes ❤️❤️ ugh can it get any better??
Initial D intensifies 😂
Ahahaha, a Toyota Prius that has racing pedigree. Amazing.
Subscribed.
Greetings from Portugal.
Hoovie's Prius looked better before this update, oh wait.
At about 8:40 he speaks about not having the driver show his face because of fear that the cops will know who he is, haha while he is explaining this the license plate of the car is in clear view.... Comedy. Pure comedy.
I've did almost near 100 in a stock Prius. The new generation Priuses happened to have REALLY good acceleration though.
Actually sick ngl
4:37 Hahaha! Oh, now c'mon! More than half of people on fecking Priuschat of all things have discussed and debated on recommending rear anti-roll bars and chassis stiffeners.
Every prius driver likes racing down hill - it's the Ultimate Hypermiling!
FACTS 😂
Down hill racing is a hypermiler's wet dream. better fuel economy AND you get to go fast.
Never thought I’d like a Prius video
That's one of my favorite sleepers I've seen
Fun Drinking Game:
Take a shot of water every time Parker says Prius to make sure you are hydrated and healthy!
You'd be surprised how many aftermarket wheels I've seen on Priuses in the Pacific northwest.
When Parker says "The owner of the prius doesw not want to be identified," lol the Lisence plate says it it all
Even at 2850 I'm thinking to myself..... That's heavy as fvck! But then again I'm comparing that to my 1900 lb CRX. Yep, 1900 lbs, 9.5 lb wheels (15x7 RPF1), fully worked suspension, this car is loads of fun.
"we can't show his plate because the cops will be on him instantly" *proceeds to show license plate*
Love my Prius :)
One of the biggest buttons in my car is the traction control off button. xD
#NotificationSquad
love that aventador its so fast omg xD😂
Holy shit, I saw this same Prius at LAX today...what are the odds
Get an Rx-8 as a project car
Walter V nah it will break down every other video
Walter V they only have rotary engines though so you can’t tune and modify it as much as you can with a piston or hemi engine
Little Edgy Thats what engine swaps are for :)
Piston or hemi engine? did you really just say that? lmfao
didn't hemi engien have pistons smh
I had a tuned cavalier in highschool and it handled crazy good! Not amazing but good for a car that tops out long before 120mph.
That guy should buy the LB kit for the Prius
Crompton Poppin I thought you were trolling but there's an actual Prius kit lmfao
Thomas Dank wait there is? lmao
Lucario Plays Yeah, probably only ever seen in Japan though, I think if anyone used the kit anywhere else they'd get keyed or slashed in a couple hours lmao
Thomas Dank but it'd be the no f*cks given prius that'd be funny
THISSSSSSSSS is the ultimate sleeper
That guy deserves a much better car , great driving skills bro 👍🏻
You won't hate a Prius when it's the only car that never breaks down. I own a Prius and a 99 eclipse gsx 5 speed. Prius is my daily, and the eclipse is the fun car I beat on. I can drive anywhere and have zero worries about the car breaking down
Try something different for the project car like a muscle car or something. For instance like a 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6. My opinion.
Dude, E36. I know it's a bit basic, but it's fantastic. And, IT'S AN E36!
Too much BS,just drive it and explaine why it is fast afterwards
Looks fun, cant wait to do this on my corolla on downhill, already put mine on racing wheels and tyres
With all that talking I was glad to see the owner do it justice
Dude! I always thought you sounded really robotic in your older videos. But you speak in a much more natural and engaging way in your newer videos. Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
9:00 you can see the owner😂
I love the prius. I have had 4 on them. Best car around.
Prius w Tesla battery in it🤔
Tesla's batteries are bad because its a brocken
It's the regen braking that makes it so great on twisty roads.
Parker. If you show the plate number the police will be able to trace him anyway! Even if you don’t show his face...
Gonzalo Alonso Lidon i think he was joking
dont think youv ever had this much fun in a prius ever !
Weirdest stairing ever
If you liked the Prius, just do a Prius as a project car. And if it's finished, you have to race this man.

idk why, but i kinda like the way this prius and the 2010 prius touring look. theres just something about the way they look thats caught my attention.
5 things i hate on the Prius ( 3rd gen )
1. Not sexy enough
2. Needs AWD
3. Needs a 6 spd gearbox
4. Needs more power
5. POWEEEER

Its a timeless classic
