The only reason that they were limited to that speed was because of the run flat tires they came with.
I took those off. And had that removed.
Also did a few things (exhaust and intake and computer chip manipulation).
So yeah...I went 150 in it. (The U.S. is the only place that was done...guys with Canadian Prowlers bought their Prowlers with no speed throttle and always were able to do 150).
And if you notice what I said...I said my Prowler beat the Viper REDLIGHT TO REDLIGHT.
It was basically a city block. I also specifically said that if we had went any further it would have eaten me up.
When I said it "hauls ass", that's what I meant. Not that it's a fucking race car! LOL!
It's quick off the line and feels great driving. The engine is light, the car is light, it's weight distribution is great.
The problem with real speed is that it's not aerodynamic at all.
But it's not designed for that anyway.
I know some guys with Paxton superchargers and some with nitrous on their Prowlers too. But I think that's just being crazy because as I said the car isn't aerodynamic and isn't made for street racing.
It's just a lot of fun.
For instance: I had a 2007 corvette (sold it a couple of years ago).
I could do 150 mph in that and not feel a thing.
When I did 150 in my Prowler? It was scary as shit! lol
I also had a 1973 MG Midget that had a tiny little 1275 cc motor in it.
BUT... I put a 1.75" SU Carb, a hot electronic ignition, headers, and a supercharger on it.
I got that little beast up real fast. I don't know how fast because the speedometer stopped at 120.
I'm guessing I was doing around 125 mph.
And THAT was definitely "hauling ass". lol
It was exciting and you could feel every bit of the road in that little car sitting a couple of inches off the ground.
That's the kind of thing I was talking about when I said the Prowler "hauls ass".
Trust me, it feels plenty fast when you want to go fast...and it always is fun to drive.
