Default A Prowler guy at work......

A guy at work has a v6 Prowler claiming he will smoke me. I heard v6 and really didnt think twice about it. But a couple of guys at work are saying it runs really fast and I should race him.

As far as mods for his, he said its stock.

Mods for mine, Torquer2, ls6 intake, LT's, ORY.

What do you all think?

The only thing he has on you is weight.

You shouldn't have any trouble even if he is lightly modded. They run mid 14's stock if I recall. Not stupid slow, but definately not where you are.....

I remember gears and converters being big mods on those cars......

The school one probably didn't have a good life though for sure, I know my old chipped dually could have taken it.

It sucks because it was such a cool car, but you put the pedal to the floor and you are left thinking "that's it?"

2838#by 253hp=10.9# to 1 hp for the prowler

3600# by 360hp( just a guess on OP car)=10 # per 1 hp for the OP,s auto
.9 # per hp is not much differance, but WE know the Prowler a'nt got a chance
Good luck to the OP

I do not know for sure if it is a v6, but I remember him talking about it before he went to go pick it up. I'm not worried win or lose, just was asking if the prowler is really that fast.

We talked a little more last night and he wants to put down 100. I told him all n/a, no bottles. He said it was cool.

Should be a *** kicking contest and the prowler only has 1 leg.

People are stupid. I've worked with guys who have has infinitys,mercedes and jaguar they actually think because they have those badges they are fast. Needless to say my bolt on car smoked everyone of em. Take his money with a smile on your face.

Was it a "thug" looking character in a Gold Prowler? about 30ish?

I had a small altercation with a guy at Hooters (in Katy) that was offended when I was double checking to see if his kid accidentally dinged my door.

He got all pissy and then tried to tell me my car was a piece of **** and bla, bla, bla.

All I said was..."uh huh, well, hop into your little car and let me embarrass you then"

He was with his Mom, kids and two younger brothers. (mom was driving, the kids and brothers)

He was offended, like I DARE talk to him that way, he started to move toward me and his mom grabbed his arm and said "I ain't worth it baby". So he backed down.

All because I was checking for a door ding.... really? F#%king retard. Acting stupid like that is what gets you in jail or dead. Dumbass!

DONT be afraid to run anyone, Win/Lose - who cares, it should be for pure enjoyment.

Run this guy and get it over with just be SAFE and don't do anything stupid!
