acceleration

Hey everyone i have posted a few concerns that I have on a car i purchased 3 days ago. The most annoying thing to me is the thump i feel in the front of the car when I accelerate from a dead stop. I mean every time i hit the gas i feel it. Everything i read about the ct says it has special...

Just wondering. I'm aware that the CT and the Prius share the same powerplant, but I recall watching a video where the designer of the CT said the CT hybrid set up is different from the Prius. At full throttle, the CT puts out 650V of power until the gas engine kicks in. The Prius only puts...
