I'm bored here at work so I might as well post this. This past weekend I was heading from Pelham manor into the bronx. There is a bridge that seperates the counties. I leave at the light and almost halfway over the bridge I see the prowler behind me and then he gets along side. I'm doing 50 (speed limit is 40) and I see him go, he puts half his car past my bumper when I hit it, I put a car on him till 80 when I noticed that he let off. He gets behind me, I roll down my window and give him a and he doesn't pull along side me again.

haha nice. Someone thought his prowler was fast.

too bad he let off tho, by 100 you'd have about 3 cars at that pace.

good kill. Unless they have some mods to them (not even sure what kind of aftermarket they have) they are slower than hell

Couldn't go to 100, the traffic light wasn't too far away (need brake space) and cops like to be around the area as well

Those cars are pretty pricey too, they are mostly for look. I was surprised that he tried to go.

I believe i read somewhere that the fastest street driven prowler runs like 11's

I thought so?? They're like a mid to high 15 sec car from quickly checking the internet..

Yes they are 6 cylinders. They have the 3.5L from the 300M. I would say they are faster than a mid to high 15. Probably closer to a mid to high 14. Not crazy fast but not too bad. Good kill regardless.

yup they are like 215 hp 3.5L 6-cylinders from the CHRYLSER LHS (sweet engine)...They were bumped up to like 250 HP in 99 when the 300M and the LHS got the better V6, but still they are slow. I dunno what they were thinking when they built the prowler and started charging like high 30's low 40's for them. Like honestly what a waste of such a cool looking car...if they had only thrown a nice big v-8 in there, that thing would be sweet. I have seen a couple in my town and they are pimp lookin but none are ever down to race me. Honestly, if I had the money id love to pick one up and do an ls2 swap in there, that would be badass IMO.

Yeah, it would be cool if it had a V-8 because it does have that cool old school roadster styling. I think the V-6 and lack of performance turned a lot of people off from it. They did have that Howler concept that they built that never made production. It was pretty much a prowler with a few cosmetic changes (looked even better IMO) and had the 4.7L V8 in it. Cool car but the funny thing is the 4.7 was rated at I think 235-240hp and the 3.5 had 250hp. lol

Yea I saw that concept and it was pretty damn sweet, but the motors they chose were/are anemic. They should start building them with the hemi and hemi srt-8 engines, that would be sick.

Doing some quick bench racing, according to car-stats.com the 97 models were in the high 15s and the 99 after the HP bump put them into the high 14s. I stand corrected

I think the howler was supposed to be truck like.

Sure the V6 was rated higher, peak horsepower.... Im almost posituve the 4.7 has more power under the curve.

INSTG8R

I know, and it probably would have felt much stronger too with V-8 torque, but I'm just saying it wasn't much of a difference. If you're going to put a V-8 in it, make it worthwhile.

Like I said, I'm surprised that he tried to go. Do people think that Fbods are slow or something?

CrabhartLS1

prowlers would be great cruisers, with their removable top and sexiness.

We all know Fbods are t3h slowest 3var!
