My guess is that this will be a lengthy thread but here's my contribution.......... If I could change one small thing on the Prowler it would be the angle of the lenses over the gages. I would cant them at the top (or forward at the bottom) about 20 degrees. They pick up far too much reflection from the rear window (with the top up, of course). Not everyday is top down day, and the lens angle has bothered me since day one. Adjusting the seating position is futile. In the scheme of things this is REALLY petty, but a nuisance non the less.

Come on, I said a small thing.
But you're right, Jim. I'll steal a quote from the old "Bacca Ruda" (Baracuda for you youngsters) commercial from 1967......I want the Soar Peed Fish Stick! (4 spd stick shift)

One small cahnge -I'd change how small the engine is - oh wait, I already did that! I wish it had a larger fuel tank. I get tired of pumping 10+ gallons in it every other day or so.

Wider doors also gets my vote, plus alittle more power. Actually not alittle but a lot. Lastly i would like a different tach.

Horsepower other than that - it's perfect. Or well, it will be after I put my Lambo doors on. So Lambo doors?? (That should also make it easier to get in)

Power seats. Drivers only. For $45,000....should have been standard. Would have made us all fit better in our Kats.

Norm, you haven't solved that yet? I got an extra 6-8" on my hood. Your usually the one to get it done first.

Doors #1 , solved. Hood dropping #2, solved. Front tires won't come up on hole shot #3, oh well, 2 out of three ain't bad.

Geezz Dr. Doom (aka Tangled) the Bruggerman door opening mod Bruggerman Door Opening Mod is such an easy (and inexpensive) fix, I'm surprised it made your list?

A rear wind deflector behind the seats like many foreign cars have. Between the air coming over the windshield and the air from behind beating on me it wears me out on a long drive with the top down.
