Just got our latest copy of Hot Rod Magazine (November 2001 issue). It has a 4-page article with pictures called "T-Bird vs. Prowler - More Alike Than Different?" Haven't had time to read it yet except for the verdict at the end....... "Whereas our infamous Vette/Lightning test saw two very different vehicles arrive at the same parameters almost accidentally, Prowler and T-Bird seem cut from the same bolt of cloth....though one was sewn into a party dress, the other an elegant ball gown. Are they hot rods? Well, the Thunderbird never really claims or pretends to be, and so is excused; Prowler, though faster than its match here, still isn't freak-you-out fast, though it has the rest of the moves down cold. More importantly, each fill in gaps the other leaves: Prowler is an intimate drive but not one you'd want to take long distances; Thunderbird is a slightly distant interstate cruiser that begs to cruise. One for casual, one for formal. One of each, then." Get your copy and read the whole article!! Let's see what it has to say and how we can respond!! ------------------ Classic/Beautiful - I'm referring to the Cat of course! |

From CJ's post (as quoted from Hotrod magazine): "Prowler is an intimate drive but not one you'd want to take long distances" Really? I just did 10.5 hours from Chandler, AZ to Morro Bay, CA. And 9.5 hours back. Loved every minute of it... |

Listen guys, I have a T bird on order and was fortunate to drive one for over an hour last week.There is NO comparison except they both are a two seater. The T bird seems to be very built with no squeaks or rattles. It's very smooth and quiet with terrific steering and brakes. It has a "softer" ride that I don't normally care for, but I liked it anyway. It's VERY comfortable and has some luggage space. The top is power and seems to be very tight and it has a great stereo. These were pre-production cars with about 8 to 10 thousand miles on all of them and they all seemed to be holding up very well. (I drove three of them) |

My opinion: Prowler is for looks! JRL...good luck with the bird, they look nice too, hope they can keep them running cool now, and release them to the public. |
