When Sandman50 and I left the Lodge on Saturday night after dinner at Woodward, there were 3 guys in the parking lot checking out all our Crossfires. We got to talking to them, and one guy handed me his card with a photo of his red "Hemi" Prowler.
A good friend of mine worked on "Team Prowler", and during its development, I begged him to push for a V8. He said it wouldn't fit. I told him in a few weeks after it's released, somebody will have a V8 in it. He agreed, but said upper management wouldn't hear of it. I guess the rest is history.
As for performance, the 2nd. generation Prowler V6 did make em run pretty good.
But I was still able to embarrass one in 1st. gear when he tried to pull a hole shot on me on Woodward Ave.
