After owning both, and which one I kept, I know which one gets my vote.

I have read many of your postings and, I remain confused by your inflated opinion of your personal Prowler. I own a 2001 Prowler, a 1993 Allante (Northstar) a 1981 Delorean, 1979 MGB and a 1975 MGB. My wife owns two Corvettes, a 1986 and a 1998.

While I am not a Corvette fan, I won't even drive my wife's, there is no comparison between the Corvette and the Prowler. If you blew the doors off of a "vette" with your Prowler on I-95 you must have found one that was either anemic, sick or was cruising, not racing. There is no measurable parameter in which a Corvette will under perform a Prowler. You many judge them in a straight line, a curve, from 0-60 or the quarter mile and the results remain the same.

I would suggest that you get in touch with reality. I am not sure, but I think that my 93 Allante would take the Prowler in most all categories other than looks and price. Maybe, the Prowler would take the Delorean and the MG's but for the price difference it should.

Don't delude yourself. Keep your $500, $1,000 or "pink slip," all of which you stated that you were willing to bet for the next race, and use the money to make payments on something really fast if that is your primary need.

Prowlers are made to enjoy and to meet people and that is more than sufficient as a selling point. Performance is important and the Prowler is respectable, but certainly not a sterling example of speed and performance.

You talk too much about bets and I don't think that you realize that it sounds like a little boy consumed with "my dog is better than your dog syndrome." You berate many of the other owners in your postings. Perhaps you should examine your motivation and objectives and take a softer stance.

Mr. Fat Man, you are too concerned with speed, bets, and fantasy. All are the sign of a creative mind, but be careful because you appear to be a fanatic and that is dangerous.

Enjoy your car and remember speed, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder. Maybe you should also learn to admire and respect some of the other owners and in that way, you will be recognized as a "cool cat owner" instead of just plain "catty."

Who among the faithful haven't questioned the craftsmanship of our unique automobile or dreaded the thought of taking it in for the first service issue or complained to yourself about the bounciness on a slightly rough road? That is why we are FAITHFUL and dedicated to our wonderful cars! Many of us have the ability to own any car we want -- present company excluded -- but we own Prowlers by choice not be force. America is wonderful place, isn't it? Best of all you can always buy, sell or trade.

Your quote;

"I'm glad to see that there are some "real racers" on this site, crybaby Dan not incluced........even though he is a racer too, just not a real one in my book."

You must definitely be an EXTRAVERT!! ...

You taught me to shutup or put up. It makes no sense to say anything to you since my car is not lined up next to yours.

I have been corrected on this and need to admit when I'm in error. The Dan your referring to was not me but some other Dan.

I'm chilling out now..... I need to breath into a paper bag and have some cold ice tea.

I apologize for the offense Jerry ... My BAD!!!

I need to go back to being an introvert. This extrovert behavior is not for me.
