OLD CARS ARE THE BEST! 2002 Plymouth Prowler

2002 Chrysler Prowler Review on The Straight Pipes Would you take the Prowler over a Chevy SSR or Ford Thunderbird? The car was a Plymouth Prowler until Plymouth was no longer a company. Then it became the Chrysler Prowler for 2 years.

The 3.5 was only on the sport models of the intrepid and 300m Stock motor was the 2.7 if I’m not mistaken,3.5 was optional.

[@bustinass4367]

It's actually a 6 speed because it has lock up in third and foth gears which changes the rpm around 400 rpm

[@SpaceMissile]

why in the hell do/did people hate these so much? they are awesome concepts and look _f*ckin' awesome._ I wish there were more cars with open(?) wheel designs like this. so cool.

[@ZZZRaven65]

I wish they'd given the Prowler a V8, but I'm still so glad this car exists. Whether you like it or not, you have to admit that it's awesome that anything like this ever rolled out of a factory. You can thank Bob Lutz for both the Prowler and the Viper! (not to mention the MUSTANG back in the day!) He is THE MAN! They don't call him "Maximum Bob" for nothing!

[@easyrider3066]

The 1997 Prowler was a lot of first. 1st American production car with a F1 type pushrod suspension, Koni inboard coilovers, aluminum control arms, rocker arms, steering knuckles rotors and frame. 1st to have Magnesium and Kavlar body parts. And the 1st production car with 20' wheels and a aggressive staggered wheel set up. Btw interior was design to look minimal like a hot rod

Did they make the engine and tranny as a lazy afterthought?

[@04dram04]

Crazy ambitious

[@patrickmartin3322]

@@jordanjoestar8839 that’s just what they had that would fit, as this was meant to be an experiment in making a car entirely out of aluminum, and the v8s wouldn’t fit with the design (although that’s fine as Chrysler didn’t have any v8s more powerful than this 3.5 until 2003) and the transmission is just a FWD transmission but in the back, and I guess they couldn’t do a manual for some reason.

[@jarilindholm9946]

I have to say I love this review. I hope you get a Prowler Yuri. I first saw the Prowler when I was a teenager and it was the best thing ever. Wanted one ever since but they didn't allow it on the roads where I live (Finland) until around 2007 and even then it was a real hassle to get it approved. Luckily there's the EU which helped a lot and some of the idiotic local restrictions got lifted. So in 2014 I travelled to the Netherlands and bought a black Plymouth Prowler (2000). I've worked in the automotive industry (or a dealer chain to be more precise) for around 15 years and driven hundreds of cars (BMW M3/4/5/6/Z3/Z4, Mini Cooper S JCW (+ coupe on track), Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, etc.) - nothing gives me kicks like this car. Can't wait to get it on the road every spring. And it's funny - like taking a puppy for a walk. Everyone wants to talk to you about it :D. It's not perfect. I know. It's not a sports car but rather a cruiser. And it's not a V8. But for me, if it was a V8, it would probably cost too much in taxes. The total cost including taxes for importing a Prowler to Finland is somewhere between 40-60 k$, and you can drive it from April to October, so you really have to want one. I did. A lot. And apparently about 6 other people have too since 7's the total amount of Prowlers in Finland. It's actually very comfortable to drive. Last spring I drove about 1300 miles straight from Finland to France and wasn't that tired or strained. That trip was around 2800 miles total. The car is highly reliable and I had no problems whatsoever. Best moments until now; 1. I was pulled over by the police in Netherlands on the first trip driving it back home. The reason they pulled me over was because they wanted to see what the car was and take a photo :D ! 2. I'd had the car for 3 weeks when a local guy with a Lambo went by (the opposite direction of course ;) ). I waved at him but he looked very grumpy - I guess I was stealing his spotlight :D. 3. Every trip I take I get 1-5 thumbs up from people I've never met. Love the car! And great content guys, keep up the good work!

[@rkalla]

I really had no idea _how much_ custom fab work went into this car... I know they belabored this point to death, but I think I agree, it is incredible that Chrysler invested in the production of this back when they did and made it identical to the concept. Very risky... still a neat part of automotive history.

I find it interesting how they broke apart Plymouth. I had a 2000 Plymouth Neon. It drove much better than my girlfriend-at-the-time's Dodge Neon but I think it was mainly because mine had the premium alloys with 5 speed manual whereas hers had the steelies with the auto. Mine had more Mitsubishi logos on various parts under the hood than hers interestingly enough. After 2001, all Neons were Dodge but the Prowler went to Chrysler.

[@takenbythewindNdrivenbythesea]

It was my dream car when I was 11 years old and this car is still looks beautiful even until today and I would say it’s an evergreen design and looks. I fell in love with this car for the first time I watched NightMan superhero TV series which was aired somewhere around year 2000 in Malaysia( it’s starts on 9pm every Wednesday) and was drove by Matt McColm alter ego as Johnny Domino a saxophonist the NightMan who has the telepathy powers to tracked evil down after being struck by lightning while playing inside the cable car. Armed with cutting edge Technology bulletproof suits, an anti-gravity belt that enables him to fly, a cape with holographic camouflage-style invisibility properties and a mask with a round red lens over his left eye, which includes the ability to see and aim in the dark and fire a laser beam. My childhood was very awesome 😎 and I still love this car until today.

[@1ivannthegreat]

I remember having a friend that used to had one ( in purple) he took of that front bumper took of the front fenders ( over the tires) plus he swapped the motor with a Blower in it ( V8) That thing was a BEAST 👍🏻And especially LOUD.

My dad is a car mechanic, and last year, he fixed a Plymouth Prowler. The owner said he could loan it a week or two, and dad called me one day and invited me to have a test drive it. He drove the car though, cause this car is expensive and i want not to crash it, since i'm a new driver and not with enough experience to drive a car with this magnitude, though i drive an Chevy 4 speed automatic with an v8 in it. But from what i experienced sitting in a car like this, whoah, fucking beast of a car, and the V6 in it is a fucking BEAST!

My dad's prowler is silver with tinted windows, tinted tail lights, and the bumpers are painted silver to match the car so it looks more natural. Also, the front bumpers have gaping holes where those cheap, plastic, clear/white caps are. Not sure why they capped them but it looks odd. Oh and it has scissor doors. This is probably the only car where putting scissor doors on it actually makes it easier to enter.
