After all, one of the most intriguing things about the automotive performance community is how different each and every setup can really be.

If you follow along down in the video below, you’ll get to watch as the Hellcat powered Toyota Prius actually ends up hitting the quarter-mile and soaring down it with flying colors.

After watching something like this, you can definitely color us impressed because literally, every last aspect of this car has to be custom in order to make all of these pieces come together in just the right proportion to scoot this Prius down the track faster than any Prius has probably gone before.
