Still... I had to look... and yes, the author is a moron and unknowledgeable... simplistic and silly references that must have taken 2 minutes to google and misinterpret. Outrage is the point...You guys are reacting to a clickbait blogging hack?
Please...
Had they put the Hemi V8 in it they would still be selling them no matter what the cost.Chrysler went all-in on the Prowler in the mid-1990s and stuck its standard 3.5 liter V6 engine under the bonnet. Unfortunately, this engine was only capable of producing a lackluster 250 horsepower, which disappointed people who expected so much more from the car. The Prowler also lacked a manual transmission, which made it almost impossible to lay down hot rubber. The result was a car that looked weird and disappointed everyone who test drove it????
This is one of the coolest modern day cars ever built! the price tag killed it....
I can tell the author of this article never had the chance to drive one of these. My father had a 1969 and I was in a bad wreck in it. THAT CAR SAVED MY LIFE.So the Imperial was bad because it was big? What a crock of ****!
The truth of the Prowler as I know it... The original plan was to pop the LH platform 3.5 in there straight off the line "as built" for the LH... somewhere between styling and function the engineers got stuck with a car that had a MUCH bigger tire profile, which destroyed the final drive ratio.Chrysler went all-in on the Prowler in the mid-1990s and stuck its standard 3.5 liter V6 engine under the bonnet.

Unbeknownst to the members here, I had a second wheel lip incident recently (same location, btw) that I chose not to share out of sheer embarrassment.Just saying so Stan can pay me back for making fun of his wheellip accident in the past.
