I was talking about Prius vs.
base CR-Z on highway. 134hp vs 122hp = prius has nearly 10% more power but 12% more weight. Power and drag coefficient will be a bigger factor in top speed than weight though. I'm not sure what the drag coefficient is for both cars. In any case, I think its funny that they didn't give the "base" CR-Z more power than the prius.
From post #1, "In stock form, the production CR-Z unveiled in Detroit makes due with a 102 hp 1.5-liter four-cylinder mated to an electric motor good for an additional 20 ponies."
