1999 Plymouth Prowler test drive

[thejakeracer]

i thought the engine was sohc

Whatever people say about these cars (performance, build quality, braking..) you still have to rise your hat to Dodge-Chrysler for bringing on the concept to the road... because until today the Prowler still one of the most extreme designed car ...ever!

@prancinghorse25 This is true...this car turned a TON of heads when I was driving it.

[daytonpaul]

Those cars are raciest they were clearly only made for us white people because you can't fit 26 inch rims on them

[mantishrimpruler2]

@daytonpaul lolwut?

[dbonanno]

This "hot rod" doesn't have very good performance. Handling is not great. It's braking ability sucks. It's acceleration is ok.

[buyavettedotnet]

....and that's why this car never caught on and will most likely never carry any serious collector value!

That being said, if you're not a true car person and just want to get noticed but don't care about performance (and can put up with 1990s Chrysler build quality), then this is the car for you!

would've been nice if you could've shown the CD changer and not just talk about it

[perryman333]

im loving that transmition, thats a great idea

[buyavettedotnet]

Then you'll be pleasantly surprised to know that the AutoStick was available in many other models, including the Dodge Intrepid! That's right, you don't need to buy a Prowler to get an AutoStick, just $1000 will buy you a nice used late 90s 4 door Dodge with the same feature.

[perryman333]

wow, the intrepid. thats interesting, maybe ill take the tranny from that and find a way to bolt it to a engine with power!

[buyavettedotnet]

I must admit, it was very impressive when it debuted, and was one of the first transmissions of its type that was available in a non-luxury or sports car. It has been done before though, and is very similar to the dualgate Hurst found in some 60s and 70s musclecars....

[DTHPRF66]

love the look...love the design, does anybody know its top speed? with 4 gears...i would assume 120?

[getalife04]

I believe it was near 140mph.

[DTHPRF66]

140mph? even if thats the max speed on the dash? i know in some cars even though the dash reads 160 the governor would limit it to 130-145. If this car can get to the full 140, then i'd be a happy guy!

[getalife04]

I THINK that it is 140 I am not 100% certain but I think it will get up to that fast. It will do 120 for SURE!

[DTHPRF66]

id be happy with that! then again...who would want to go really fast in a car like this? id cruise in this car all day long...

[hongkongsucksballs]

this car has 252 hp and is very fun to drive, i would love to drive one with a six speed standard tranny but they never made one,it has a 4 speed auto stick which is cool.

[gorillazgirl2006]

Where can you BUY one of these now a days?!

[sidekick3iskool]

eBay.

[byyaaahhhhh]

It is a very nice car, but when i first looked under the hood of one of these, i was very, very dissappointed. Why not a V8?!?!

[Roboticexile]

same reason that it was never available with a maunal gearbox which which would allow for a proper sports car feel so you could really abuse what power it has under that bonnet
