It just seems to go over everyone’s head that the Prowler was made primarily for Chrysler to gain knowledge and experience in producing basically an all aluminum car. Many of those involved were lost to Ford in the crash and went on to develop the aluminum F-150. Also, it gets overlooked that the Prowler basically is an Indy car design and weighed in at roughly 2,800lbs. At the time of production, 250HP in a 2,800lb car was a pretty damn good power to weight ratio.
@corionh47754 жыл бұрын
I always felt the same way about the power/weight ratio with these Prowlers when they were new, and back in the late-90's even Vettes only made about 90 more horsepower than this... But most auto publications called these "underpowered" which was weird to me. I've never driven a Prowler but I did lease an '01 Chrysler 300M brand new right out of college with this same drivetrain in about a 500lb heavier car, and I remember it feeling pretty quick for its time.

I wish more manufacturers did that. That seems a heck of a lot easier than re-gearing a transmission to change the acceleration or top end fuel economy of your car. A guy in his garage, or a mechanic with a half-hour, could totally change the character of your car with an easily replaceable and relatively cheap set of sprockets and chains. They're probably less durable than a straight up live rear axle and certainly a limited slip differential but would you rather replace a chain/sprocket set that could act as the circuit breaker, first point of failure or a whole rear diff if that's the point of breakage?

A 2001 Chrysler Prowler first car in high school when they were new, I thought it was the coolest thing ever but kept having issues with the amplifier in the back shorting every time it rained and got caught out in it. Fun little car, wouldnt mind another one day.

@@2Skinny Well sure, you could spend a shitload on making a bespoke conversion, but I'm more so talking along the lines of well established and understood methods of doing it. (like taking a gearbox and the ancillaries from a doner vehicle and putting it in)

Well, if you find another rear transmission vehicle, and someone who can weld to the aluminum subframes on the car, as well as have half shafts and drive shaft (which runs at engine speed) , retrofit the clutch pedal a and install linkages down the length of the car, and all sorts of stuff, sure it’s possible!
@revolutionday14 жыл бұрын
The short answer is: YES. There are also LS-motor conversion kits for all those types out there.
@ohlookadragon4 жыл бұрын
It would make more feasible sense to have the transmission rebuilt by a specialist I am sure there is a prowler transmission guy who knows all the tricks to make them better. All the Chevrolet automatics have different tricks you can do to make them shift much faster, and I don't just mean increasing line pressure. I am sure there is a Chrysler transmission guy aswell.

I hired one while on holiday in Florida, what a machine! The best I could do when I got back to the UK was to buy a replica, around 10 of these were made by a company called Fiero. Had a long chat with the owner of the company, replica as meticulously made. My example was one of the best, the show car Fiero made themselves. Only 6 were ever completed and registered for the road. The engine was the trusty Ford V6, as was the rest of the running gear. I had a ball for a few years until we moved. Wish I could afford the real thing!

Dude tell me about it. And downshifting is such a bitch, it catches so hard and lurches the car. So I've learned to give it some gas while downshifting and also braking when coming to a stop. It gives the dope downshifting sound without getting yanked back.
