Well today i was comin from a car show and leaving i saw this Prowler,really nice, so i step on the gas and he steps on it but couldn't pass me,not sure why:confused: .
Then at the next light he steps on it and just flys! by the time i moved he was like 1 mile in front of me.:worried:
I knew i was no competion for him but, taught hey he probably doesn't know how to shift right!(he was like in his 60s)

My father was w/ me and he just started laughing at me.:mad:

Prowlers don't have manuals. Tapshift Auto's is what they have

so then i must be seening things! cuz like i said it was at a car show and i saw it inside.
And from my understanding tapshift cars don't have "3" pedals and have a nice short shifter
Maybe the guy convert it to stick?

There is a company out there that converts Prowlers to an LS-1 drivetrain.

In stock form, Prowlers are nothing to be scared of from a dead stop. But who knows what he had under his hood. If you saw his pedals, I assume you saw his engine too. :undecided

If that was the case I don't think he would of had trouble getting by on the first run. Even for it to be a manual what tranny would you be able to use on the 3.5 V6? A neon is FWD so I don't think that would hook up. A Viper 6 speed or a truck tranny?

I saw th pedals cuz he was in the show, but he didn't have the hood open.
But it was stick!

No way a stock prowler would take a TBSS. He was heavily modded.
