No worries, if you need to slow down fast stick your hand out the window, ideally, holding a hankie. The only problem is the car might start veering left. 🙂
Priuses are good, my future car. Can't wait for the plug-in version. 134mpg ftw.
Problem is they cost ~USD70k here.

very good car, indeed...
you can quietly rent one, but remember, no security belt,
only one hand to drive, and the left hand resting in the door..
I wonder if the Hybrid power train and wiring requires any "burn in" to deliver the ultimate driving experience 😀
What about the invertor... maybe we will see some threads on "swapping caps" etc.

I have driven a Prius; I never drove a car that got off from a standing start so fast. (And yes, I've driven 450hp+ cars before). The seemingly unlimited torque of an electric drive needs to be experienced to believe it!

Perhaps the batteries become more powerful after conditioning, lower impedance - more powerful acceleration.
But don't all cars are said to drive better after the first year. Or is it the first month.
The auto market (as well as the auto-audio market) is much much bigger than the audio market there's bound to be some elements of the audio market in there, but at a larger scale.
It depends on the driver. All new cars need getting used to before you really feel fully comfortable with it. Some drivers need more time than others.

Agreed.
I thought we were waiting on you and Yaccocables to come to agreement upon whether you think you can hear a difference with his cables??
I have send a PM to Yaccocables once but for some reason I get a "token expired" message when I've tried to PM him again, therefore this post:

Haven't heard anything yet.
Burn in often takes as long as your ears do to get used to the slight change a new cable makes...
It varies to be honest. Some products take ages (the first Naim Nait5/CD5 took a month left on 24/7 before they fully settled down from new). Other products/cables are "right" straight out of the box (my AVI gear were wonderful in this respect and had no temperament at all).
P.S. I found that if I removed and replaced the connectors in my system once or twice a year, the sound appeared to change for a very short while. It wasn't a big difference though.

Oops, I thought he was burning in the cables in preparation.
Should've been finished by now, I think.
Maybe Sy can get hold of him and find out what's happening?
I'll send him a note. The guy who ought to do the "burning in" is Steve Eddy since he has the cool machine.
I replaced all the speaker cable in my bass rig over the last 2 days. This time I'll admit I used some really good stuff.
I found a great deal on Carol Cable 4 conductor 12 gauge at Home Depot. I figure that since they make cable for the electrical utilities industry, they must really know their stuff! My speakers couldn't possibly sound better!
