Bob Miller Prowler Junkie Posts: 4576 From: Alexandria, Virginian USA Registered: OCT 2003	posted 02-02-2004 08:49 AM The other day I had my Kat out and a guy with a Honda 2000 was literally drooling over my Prowler and asking all sorts of questions (weight, hp, performance, cost, etc.) He even wanted to sit in it. He said that the owners of the Honda 2000 were upset with Honda because they are producing more of the 2000's and it was only supposed to be a limited production run. The bottom line is he'd really rather have a Prowler and may become an owner at some point.
pumpkin Prowler Junkie Posts: 7907 From: Las Cruces, NM, USA Registered: DEC 2001	posted 02-02-2004 09:18 AM We did the same drooling, but we still have the Honda S2000. Yes, we were told the same thing on the production but the numbers are not that high. I would tell that guy, keep the Honda and buy the Prowler. Then he would have two cars for people to drool on. ------------------ Current mods: Mopar dual exhaust & front mudflaps; MacMotorsports Air Intake; Real Rod Air Patrol; Graphics by Balistek Designs; ($8) Chrome grille; Chrome tire valve-stem covers; Painted rear bumper lettering; Prowler Pro Gears; Synthetic Oil; Raybestos Ceramic Brake Pads; TGF Door Panel Inserts & Headrest Covers; SheepskinExpress Sheepskin Seatcovers; Grille Light; Pinstriping by Bo Boring; Painted Valve Cover; Window Tinting; Windshield Visor Banner; Front Bumper Removal / Relocation of Front Turn Signal Lights; Real Rod Transmission Cooler Cover, Sill and Carper Covers, Aero Front Covers and Roadster Rear Pan, rear bumpers removed; rear mudflaps; painted calipers; Prowler Products by Gary Drilled Rotors, front and rear; Painted tach; and Jay's Aluminum Billet Center Caps w/shimmers, Chrome Lugnuts and Chrome Radio Bezel Shimmer, Dash Rings, Windshield Wiper Arm Removal, Fender Trim and Speaker Replacement.

ALLEY CAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 36093 From: Mesa, Az Registered: JUL 2000	posted 02-02-2004 08:48 PM I've raced with my friend's S2000 once. I was quicker in the cat through first two gears, but when that Honda V-Tec kicks in and the rpms start racing towards the 9000 mark, I was toast. Those 2.0 liters are one fine little motor. His top end is also much higher,,,,,he has been to 155. The kicker is his car gets close to 30 mpg even driving it hard.
Key Man Prowler Junkie Posts: 255 From: Canada Registered: MAR 2002	posted 02-02-2004 08:59 PM Thanks Alley Cat. I've been eyeing up that little rocket for some time. Saves me the embarrassment and probably some coin. Al Pal
pumpkin Prowler Junkie Posts: 7907 From: Las Cruces, NM, USA Registered: DEC 2001	posted 02-02-2004 09:48 PM Alley Cat has said it all. I may add the car puts out 2hp per cu inch, therefore it has 240 hp. I added the cold air system and a supercharger is in the works which will give me around 350 hp, a rocket. The car was Honda's 50th anniversary sports car.

Rich Tilden Prowler Junkie Posts: 343 From: Punta Gorda, Florida Registered: JUL 2000	posted 02-04-2004 03:18 PM I own a 2002 S2000 and it is simply a blast. It is a baby F1 car. Shifting at 9000 rpm is a treat. Only the Ferrari 360 Modena comes close to that redline. The car also handles like it's on rails. My Prowler, with the supercharger was quicker of course - but not faster. The Honda will top out at 165mph and does the quarter in 14.2, which is faster than any stock Prowler. All this from a 2.0 litre 4 cylinder motor!!!!

Rich Tilden Prowler Junkie Posts: 343 From: Punta Gorda, Florida Registered: JUL 2000	posted 02-05-2004 12:08 PM There are lots of options, but a low boost blower with stock gears would get you through the quarter in the low 12s at 115 - 120mph. There are now a bunch of rearend gear choices and most people are opting for 4.77 (stock is 4.10) and the low end accleration increases dramatically. You will need some DOT slicks in the back to get much quicker and not have the car all over the track. Also, the weakest link in the drivetrain seems to be the rearend, so getting enough power to get sub-12 second runs would necessitate some massaging there. It really is amazing what you can do with a little motor that gives you 9000 RPM to play with.
