    I find myself wanting one. I'd only buy a very clean example, but they're cheap, and cool. I don't expect it to be a life changing driving experience, but has anyone here owned or still own one? I think it has the potential to be viewed as a future classic.

    They are under powered and have a harsh ride quality but they look like nothing else on the road.
    So if you want something a bit unique for a fun weekend drive then go for it and have some fun, just be sure to get one with the trailer for the full effect. ;)

    This guy buys cheap and 'broken' cars, then has his mechanic, 'The Wizard' fix them.
    This vid is very recent. He loves the car, mostly. He talks kind of slow. I watch at 1.5 Playback Speed. ;)

    The only way a Prowler could be tolerable is if it had a Hyabusa V8 engine transplant.

    Buy my wife’s please— then I can add a 993 Cabriolet to my garage.

    we took a 2200 road trip up to Eugene , Yosemite , Grants Pass to Coast all the way down thru Fernwood and Petrolia to Shelter Cove etc with hardly any Interstate — cool car, way more looks then a F car because it’s a toy. Age 3- to a hundred smile and stare.

    we’re about to bring it down to our place in La Jolla and leave it in garage or at the airport.

    I owned one for about three years that I modded up pretty good. It was a fun enough car.

    I believe a blower has been added aftermarket to make up for the lack of HP to some cars
