I'm AMAZED that car can get anywhere near 100mph. O.O
The e-brake in a Prius is very much set up as a parking brake. You push the pedal in, and it locks in place. I wouldn't recommend that you try to use it to slow down at highway speeds (or hardly any speed at all).
I haven't tried it, but I don't think you can even shut off the ignition at speed, either.
I'm not sure why people act like the Prius is an especially slow car. It's the same as a normal 4-cylinder mid-size sedan. Not a rocket, but easily capable of hitting 100mph, getting up to speed on highway ramps, overtaking dickheads who're only going 75 in the left-hand lane...I can vouch for all those personally.
Yes, I own a Prius. I'm sure everyone's shocked.

Huh. I drive a 2003 Toyota myself. Funny.
