On the street and off the line, the Prowler has very respectable performance.My buddy has a 625 HP Malibu and he was shocked when we had short challenge, off the line. Unless you go to the track, you can't legally do much more with any car, anyway.

The overwhelming majority on this thread have responded "NO". That's because we have all driven one and we get it. With any car, you have to look at the entire package. All cars can be picked on in some way, including the price tag and value retention. When you look at the whole Prowler package, it's a real winner.

Take the haters for a ride and blow their minds.

For me there have been a few vehicles that I bought, liked, and purchased another one (or more)

Corvair, both early and late model. I have had a dozen or so over the years, still have one and sort of looking for another.

Impala, two '61 Bubble tops, I also had a '65 for about a week then gave it to a friend.

S-10 Pick up, First generation. I am on my third one now and have had it for 18 years. I would consider another if it was the right one.

For the record, I bought the car for the advanced styling and not for brute performance or acceleration.
So I'M HAPPY WITH THE V6.

When Buick was developing the Grand National in the early 80s, they actually had the same issues as Chrysler: going with a V6 over a V8. Although Buick still had the tooling, they hadn't used a production V8 in years and they definitely didn't have a hi-po V8. It was cheaper and easier to work with what they had, the V6. Especially in a limited production car.
The V6 was lighter and easier to work with and develop.

By the time I bought my first Grand National in 1986, NOBODY EVER SAID, "GEE TOO BAD IT DOESN'T HAVE A V8"!!

And I NEVER hear anyone say about all of the (now classic) European and Japanese cars like the Porsches, Aston Martins, MGs, Celicas, 240z and many others; 'GEE, TOO BAD THEY DON'T HAVE V8S"!!!
MANY of those NON V8 cars are WORTH A FORTUNE TODAY.

The Prowler is a fun, zippy, quick car with ENOUGH performance to handle most of what pulls next to it on the street. And that 3.89 rear gear IS NO JOKE. I've PERSONALLY EMBARRASSED MANY A NON BELIEVER.
