Stock prowlers are anemic in the power department. NO PROBLEM !!!

What do you mean playin around? Even if he tried he couldnt make that bucket seem fast. You probably could have given him half a block and spanked him.

They're slow. Another Dodge, "I wish we made a real car" concept. Of course, the reason they can't make a fast car is because they can't make decent brakes! Who wants the liability of sending a high HP car out the door with Dodge brakes on it?
Well normally I would have something to say about someone saying something against a MOPAR, but in this case you are right.

AT 110 mph 4 wheel drums don't do squat to slow you down, let alone stop you, not a good thing when you have 7 cops after you(don't ask,long story).

To make a long story short... :smash: 'd one last night. Cool, crisp, clear night, no traffic and this one wants to play. From about 35 mph, dropped the auto into second and hammered down. When I looked back (near the next light), all I saw were 2 very small lights in my rearview. Had to wait to see if he turned off. Wouldn't even look at me after that :lol:
My son asked if it had a carbon fiber trunk lid? Told him "I never saw that part :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: "
Man those duals and flowmasters sure do sing.:)
Son told me to post this...so I did.

The Prowler was a beautiful car though :yesnod:
:cheers: :seeya :chevy :flag
