Steve T POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Weatherford,Texas,USA Registered: Dec 2001 Admin Use	posted 11-16-2005 08:22 AM Marty - All your answers are below: 1. a second Prowler - low mileage for daily driving replacement and still modify my current Prowler. Yes and make it Orange. 2. something new and fun to drive for daily commute - Pontiac Soltice, Mustang convertible, etc. Don't do it, you will just blend into the herd in anything else. After all those miles in the Prowler this would not feel right. 3. Magnum SRT for daily driving. No. I want one and if you get one it means one less for me to choose from. 4. Keep driving Prowler daily and get late 60's Musclecar. No. For the same reason in #3. 5. Sell Prowler, use money for downpayment to buy low mileage Viper. Honestly, I have had 4 Vipers and with the long trips you take the Viper would not be my first choice.

Chi_Town_Prowler POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Chicago, IL Registered: Aug 2004 Admin Use	posted 11-17-2005 06:56 PM HEY MARTY!! After seeing you in action blasting around in the Prowler, I would DEFINITELY say get the musclecar. Preferably something with a big block!!
392HEMI POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:The Villages, Fl. Registered: Dec 2004 Admin Use	posted 11-17-2005 08:00 PM Marty: After fighting through my health issues, it became obvious I needed to have some FUN (with my clothes on) and the only answer was a Prowler. Now, since I have cleaned it up and have it show worthy, I have decided I'm not just going to walk softly to the grave, SO, I am going in sliding broadside, stand up in the seat and shout,"WHAT A RIDE". Bought the second one last week, ORANGE, of course, and just doubled my fun factor. Get the orange one. I'send you a PM with picture. Thanks for your help in the efforts to buy the one in Louisville. Blew Buyou said it, Orange Peeler lookin at you. Jim
mannyd Prowler Enthusiast From:port charlotte,Fl., charlotte Registered: Feb 2003 Admin Use	posted 11-17-2005 08:40 PM Marty, just by what you post, I know a street rod is in your future. I am curious in how you would build it. You lean towards old school and I do the same.Now I'm sounding like a friggen fortune teller[lol]. What ever it will be let us know, because I like to read your posts...
Marty Usher POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:San Antonio, Texas, United States Registered: Jun 2001 Admin Use	posted 11-18-2005 08:20 AM manny - you are correct, I have wanted a street rod of some sort for ages. I just like so many other types of cars also; muscle cars particularly 60's GTO's and Chevelles, 49 and 50 lead sleds, 61/62 Impala convertibles, & Nomads among others. For street rods, I have recently started liking the look of some Ratrods but don't know if I would actually be happy be one; 41 Willys are cool, 37 Ford pickups, and a 33 Speedster is at the top of my list. Looks like I'm going to need a big garage!
Stray Cat POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Dayton, Ohio, USA Registered: Apr 2002 Admin Use	posted 11-18-2005 08:41 AM Marty, Let me first say that of the three cars I have left, the Prowler will be the last I would sell if I have to. That being said, (I agree with Quincy by the way) I have been to three Funerals this year ( I agree with Ed too). I told Shelley I have always wanted a Viper - so, many don't know it but this is what I did. I read about Vipers, picked a year with Anti-lock Brakes (Alley Kat is right too ! ) and bought a Deep Sapphire Blue one. It is a Kick in the Pants. And Larry Bell was instrumental in helping me (Tangled up in Blue)choose and also warning me that the Viper is a dangerous car even for those of us who own fast cars. It is a different car and I LOVE driving it. Get a used Gen II viper. I slept in it the first week I owned it. (not because Shelley kicked me out) It is a Beautiful car and I now own 2 hand built Chryslers that are incredible vehicles. And the value has actually GONE UP since I purchased it. You will not believe the driving experience.... Good luck !

mannyd Prowler Enthusiast From:port charlotte,Fl., charlotte Registered: Feb 2003 Admin Use	posted 11-18-2005 05:33 PM Marty, the only turn off I have towards the no top roadsters is that I've seen many owners either not go to a run or getstuck at a run because of rain. I mean big money cars under covers when everyone else is gone. But your choices of cars to consider is right on. I'll be rooting for you
ed monahan POA Lifetime Site Supporter Prowler Junkie Personal ScrapBook From:Cincinnati, Oh, USA Registered: Jul 2000 Admin Use	posted 11-19-2005 02:18 AM One time when we went to KY Speedway and it was pretty cold out, a guy in a kit Cobra had to put on his top for the drive home. I would say it took longer to put on that top than it would have taken to drive home (and it looked lousy, to boot).
Stray Cat POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Dayton, Ohio, USA Registered: Apr 2002 Admin Use	posted 11-19-2005 08:40 AM Thanks Randy - I love it... Ed - I was with you guys at the Track with the Gentleman in the Cobra and yes, those take about 1/2 an hour to put the top on. Didn't he have like a Leather Hat with Ear Muffs on ? Manny - That is why you buy a GEN II....I have now put about 600 miles on it in the last month or so WITH THE TOP ON. The Gen II's have power Windows, Power Locks, adjustable pedals etc. And with the Top on it is surprisingly quiet. And Still a blast to Drive. Unlike the Prowler Tops, I can put this on and off all by myself. I could have gone for an SRT10 with the push of a button the top goes down, but I simply like the looks of the 92-2002's. Test Drive a Viper Marty - Maybe Next Time I see you I'll drive it. Drive a Viper with Rebecca in the car. Bet you'll buy one.

CTProwler POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Sherman CT USA Registered: Nov 2002 Admin Use	posted 11-22-2005 02:54 PM Buy a Viper!! Prices are LOW Now!! Great time to Buy. You can get a new one $10000 or more below sticker. Great Car! Don't need 2 Prowlers--1 is enough, I know--Been there done that.

Some folks work until the day they die, unfortunately they may not realize that ahead of time. After reading this thread, I took Ed's advice I bought a used RT/10 Viper tonight Thanks Ed

Kala POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Ojai, Ca /USA Registered: May 2002 Admin Use	posted 11-22-2005 10:53 PM Oh Ed... I ll enjoy the RT... Because it isn't STOCK
ittybittykitty Prowler Enthusiast From:Stuttgart, Germany Registered: Oct 2005 Admin Use	posted 11-26-2005 01:58 PM Keep the Prowler and go with the new Z06. For the price, it is a fantastic sports car and I'm afraid the Viper's days of supremacy are over. You can use it to make "believers" out of all those foreign car drivers that paid twice as much. With the Prowler and Vette combo you would have it all, power and beauty. The Chevy and Mopar can exist in the same space. IBC
dooboy POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:western canada Registered: Jul 2004 Admin Use	posted 11-26-2005 03:44 PM ZO6.....SWEET they did a test drive on speed channel last week, this thing is supposed to do 11s in the 1/4 mile, vipers are horny too, but i think for the money, the corvette takes the cake.
CTProwler POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Sherman CT USA Registered: Nov 2002 Admin Use	posted 11-28-2005 12:18 PM They make around 2500 "hand built" Vipers a year! There are under 75000 of them built. Something like 11 million Corvette owners. New Vipers already have enough horse power. Big woop--New vette is like 1 hundreds of a second faster. It's not a Viper. Look for next years Viper to be at least 550 HP! It's not just about speed or price. If it was who wants a Prowler for its Speed. Price maybe! I've owned 3 vettes, granted not the new one. But I see 1000 Vettes for every Viper I see. There are only 247 in CT. Some are owned by garage Queens. If you guys like ordinary why did you buy a Prowler? We are not looking for ordinary!!Buy a Viper or at least drive one. I love the New Bentley Continental GT, but before I can comment on one I should drive one. Never know might not float my Boat! We all are different and we will all pick different cars to own if given the chance. We all agree on one thing The prowler is a fun unique car! ------------------ This message has been edited by CTProwler on 11-28-2005 at 12:20 PM
