Am I alone in thinking that the Prowler is one of the cooler cars America's ever produced? I would not mind one of those. Needs something like a 6.1 SRT-8 swap, though.
If I can recall correctly, the main issue with the Prowler was that it didn't have a good enough engine. I remember it having only a measly V6 (I checked it, just in case) instead of a proper V8. I'm not a muscle car fan - I do appreciate them though - but I drove a few current-gen Mustang GTs. That V8 sends chills down my spine. The Prowler would be epic with a Hemi...
bought a vette instead
That had to be a blast in that car, the roads in and around Yosemite are pretty great. I had the pleasure of experiencing route 140 in a Prius and even that was fun, can't imagine a 911. I am itching for a proper road trip again.

I love your 964, by the way.
Sold the BMW 320si and traded it for one of my all-time favourite sleepers.

Not just any A3 of course:

Absolutely adore it, the sound is like nothing I've ever heard. It's insanely responsive with being NA and the power is completely effortless too.👍 What do you think of it so far?

I've never actually been one for anything other than manual, so I waited until a manual example came along. I love the gear changes and it's a joy to row through and it responds beautifully to rev matching, so I don't regret a thing.I assume it’s DSG? Most of them were and it’s a good match to that engine. Had the chassis been set up a bit more playfully, as it was in the Golf R32, a manual may have been interesting. But as the VR6 was little more than an engine choice In an otherwise standard A3 chassis (with the pre-S-line ‘Sport’ spec option - a touch stiffer springs) the DSG suits it’s character perfectly. IMO. I just wish it ran as well on regular unleaded instead of requiring super unleaded. I’ve had mine 6 or 7 years now and I hate to think how much that would of saved me
Looking good! Do you have a build thread?This is my '89 ST165 Celica we've been slowly restoring/modifying over the last 5 years. It's only now beginning to look like a car again, so thought I'd share a couple of images. 👍
The build will hopefully be finished by next summer... But I've been saying that for the last two years!
