Someone literally honked their horn and asked me that after something happened to them at a stop light. However thinks the v-6 is slow does not know how to drive. I noticed when the temp is in the mid to low 50s and no moisture in the air the car reacts nicely.

Not surprising he didn't know. Prius drivers aren't usually car enthusiasts.

Ashamedly I must admit it was an Altima, LOL. But I have fared well in situations with a GTO, first gen though... RT, IS, E series, grand cherokee, maxima...many modded trucks, genesis lol, kia's omg ...losses, panamera (the Acura is surprisingly nimble in Sport +, track hawk, those are quick but not by much, for some reason a mclaren was on the road with me and that thing is crazy.) Not saying the TLX V6 is a supra but in the real world this car can do well in a wide variety of situations.

it has a high out v6.
and of course cooler air has more density, which would provide more air into the engine...making it a bit more peppy.
No one should be surprised that a v6 with 300hp crank would compete well with others with 300hp crank..

Hey, not all Prius drivers are slugs. Had some young lady in a red one thunder (quietly) away from my COBRA at a traffic light. She must have had the MR. Fusion mod boosting the Flux Capacitor. She really put the hammer down on green.
