    My wife a I where on a mountain road I know real well last night. In 8 miles it has tons of back to back climbing and descending turns. On the straights your doing 60MPH or more, and the turns are marked 15-30 MPH. So I got into seeing what the Prius could do in the turns. To my amazement, I didn't get to a speed that had any body roll or sliding of the tires. Not even a chirp from the tires. I'm sure there is a speed I was going to slide the car, but we ran out of turns and nerve to go any faster.

    Give it a try, lots of fun, it will surprise you.
