Wayne Finch	...did we get a glimpse of this on the weekend. The press release below is from DC website. Very interesting!!! Stuttgart / Auburn Hills, 08/20/2001 - The Chrysler Group intends to enter the high-performance automobile segment, which is why it plans to set up a business unit similar to Mercedes-AMG GmbH. The aim is to increase sales of special Chrysler vehicles. The first models to be tuned include the Dodge Viper and the Chrysler Prowler. ------------------ 99 Black Stock Vanity Plate PROWLERR 00 Woodward (#98 of 151 - Custom Two-tone Interior, Vanity Plate PPROWLER, Matching Trailer (number & pinstriped) with SpeedLingerie Woodward Bra (pinstriped), Chrome Headrest covers and tranny cooler cover, Shimmers all around 99 Supercharged Shelby Durango Lowered, 400 HP, Racing seats, Stillen 6 piston brakes. skirts, hoodscoop
Gary C	Saw that news on Speedvision last night.
Roadstar	Does anybody know what they mean by "tuned" and when might this happen. Thanks
KenG	JD got a ride in Jerry's Prowler (from DC) and he said it was faster than his Paxton car. I went nose to nose with him at a red light on Woodward and he pulled me by almost a full car (I have gears) Jerry would not let us see much under the hood. I certainly would like to know what was done without adding a supercharger or NOS. ------------------ Ken Gensheimer 1999 Yellow Plate: 1 HOT KAT Color Coordinated Bumpers Prowler Pro Gears (Zoom, zoom, zoom) MAC Air Intake and Sport Exhaust Ceramic Pads Lollypop Red Shimmers Real Rod front plate holder Chrome license plate bracket (rear)

dpena	I tried getting the answer from BOB but he is tougher than a locked safe. I admire his ability to keep it quite.. I could not even get a hint.... I sure want to know how they make it work. I did get a long good look at the setup but could not figure out how they made it work. What I saw looked kinda like the original 1997 Prowler with the dual intake MAF(Mass Air Flow) throttle bodies. The dual MAF throttle body appeared to be altered some how. Whoever has a 1997 prowler engine... please post a picture of your MAF throttle bodies. My 1999 prowler has one intake MAF/throttle body but the one at Woodward had two. We all like to speculate and I'm no different. My opinion is they are allowing more air and fuel to enter the engine compartment along with a different computer tune. Possibly more timing. I don't believe that engine they had on that cat was stock. It has been tweeked quite a bit. I tried taking a picture of it but Jerry was watching me like a hawk. He knew I would be itching to take a picture and before I knew it. He slammed the hood shut. DARN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Later... ------------------ Watch Me In Action Watch Me Burn Rubber With My 331 RWHP Prowler www.prowlerexcitement.com links.prowlerexcitement.com

Marc-Colo-99	Dan Don't feel bad. I couldn't get any info out of Bob either in our 6-8 hours of riding together. ------------------
Todd Cameron	one of the so cal guys read in driver that DC has a puter something or other to boost HP to 300. must be the same thing ------------------ 2000 Black, 2001 Black Tie, 2001 Orange
Brian King	Hi Folks Did anyone ask Jerry what the little rocker switch in the tach mount was for. When I asked he looked at his wife and said "he was the only one to spot it" and gave no answer other then "not Nitro's" Set-up under hood looked simple, did anyone look in the trunk when he was putting top up or down. ------------------ Brian King 2000 Sliver Prowler Rear/Front Flaps K&N Air Filter Weekender Wind Blocker Hitch Chrome Shimmers Modified Front License Bracket Ceramic Pads
ALLEY CAT	Brian - nothing in the trunk that I saw. Jerry and Bob are wise to our ways, so expect no clues. LOL! I wonder if that old Chinese torture - plucking every hair out of their body with a tweezer - would work in obtaining info? Probably not! Nice meeting you at Woodward, and thanks for dragging my butt around on wed evening. Enjoyed it! ------------------ Call 911 - there is a Prowler in my garage....
BeWare	Again if Jerry was being forthright he stated that nothing was changed internally in the engine. JD you rode in the Kat did Jerry mess with the toggle switch mentioned above. ------------------ Rich Ware 1999 Purple People Meeter POA Windshield Banner, Front & Rear Fender Flaps, Borla Exhaust, Raybestos Brakes, Logo Caps, Air Patrol, Painted Bumpers, Cracked Ice Bumper Shimmers, Front Signal Assemblies Mounted in Rear Bumpers, Pin Stripes and Pinstripe Flames(lavender and blue), $9 Dollar Chrome Grille, K&N Filter, Mopar Hitch and Cat Trailer(matched to car pinstripes) and SL complete Bra Package.
butchcee	Play on words??? The electronics are outside the engine Does Jerry write for Clinton and Condit??? ------------------ Yellow is DCOOLEST
Orange	So now that production is over, anyone know the secret? I take it that this is the same car which is currently white and called IScream. We need to figure out a way to find out what was done to this engine to get 300+ hp. DC, it's about time you rewarded your prowler purchasers...
butchcee	stroker ,I think
Marty Usher	quote: Originally posted by butchcee: stroker ,I think A stroker engine will do it. My 4 litre stroker will pull the Paxton cars off the line and intially from a running start but once the NOVI 1000 gets the boost going they will catch me on the top end. Hopefully with some increased compression coming soon along with some other tweaks from Westech Automotive, I will be able to hold them off longer! ------------------ 2000 Black with hand painted blue faded to purple flames
BeWare	I don't think its a secret anymore so this I what I know. The I Scream cat has a stroker motor, a beefed up Torgue converter, gears and a three throttle body air plenum with the outside two, computer controlled to open at full throttle. I would love to get my hands on the plenum and the computer needed to control it.
CJ	Dream on Rich! lol!
ET	CJ, Will this stuff be released in the future? ET
Marty Usher	quote: Originally posted by ET: CJ, Will this stuff be released in the future? ET My understanding is they will not release or produce these items and the car will be crushed at some point (if they ever find out where Jerry hides it!)

bbcar	They dont have to release the parts, just let us know what they did to acheive the hp they are getting out of this engine. I am sure someone would be able to replicate it. Barry
Marty Usher	Stroker engines are being done by Westech Automotive for sure - I have one, a 4.0 liter. Dean at Prowler Pro is working on a stroker I am told. Tuning should go hand in hand with the engine rebuilds by the respective shops. Both Westech and PP have done work on torque convertors but I do not know where they stand on these at the present time. Laddie has had work done on his TC also.

CJ	Since DC no longer produces the car, they have no reason to offer any engines for it anymore.
bbcar	CJ we do not need the engines, just a shopping list of what to do to replicate their engine. Hot rodders are very good at duplicating a engine if they know what has to be done. Barry
