Don't get me wrong, I really do like the prowler, I just think its overpriced.
And Bonkers, does that mean that a 318 Challenger is not a cool car, since a stock civic can blister them as well?
Not at all - when you buy 30 year old technology you expect it to come with some limitations in a modern world - your buying nostalgia, not performance. The prowler wreaked high performance from the showroom - wide tires, low stance, two seats, dual exhaust...ect... but on the road it's more like a minivan. My thinking is that if I paid vette-range money for a car that looks like it can chew up and spit out a vette, I'd be pretty pissed if I were being walked by PT cruisers... thats all. It was a big fumble on Plymouths part not offering a V8 or V10 variant - could have been huge.
Hopefully you realize that someday.
Death is lifes way of saying slow down... maybe I'll try it out then...
Besides, you could always drop in a different engine with enough cutting.
Yes, and there are many companies offering serious mods for enthusiasts. I've personally seen a single-turbo prowler than could break the tires loose at 50mph. At $25,000 over the purchase price though I'd rather have a Noble or Superformance Daytona.
