Default Prowler VS S2000

So I was just cruising down 41 wasting time before Scary Movie 3 (Sucked) and see this yellow Prowler roll up behind at a stop light. Just curious to see what he would do, I rolled off the light and got on it alittle, sure enough, he was right there about 50 feet later. So were cruising down, he pulls up next to me, as Im not a big fan of going from a roll to high speeds, I dont do anything, but we hit the next light. I peer over my shoulder and see he has his wife, I can just hear her saying dont you dare, so I dont do anything. We get rolling, he gives it alittle gas, I hop on it alittle to keep up and before I know were going all out. First gear I pulled him hard, atleast one car length, by second hes fallen back a good 2.5 car lengths. I shut down after that and thankfully he didnt give me any fly by's. All in all I was impressed, granted I dont know anything about Prowlers or what they run, but I wasnt going to be dissapointed if I lost. I bet he was though.

Sounds about right...they're not that fast. I don't really think they're good for much of anything except looking like a mouse errrrr rat Nice cars though...they look fairly sharp (just very rodent like).

Hah, yeah, they do kinda look like a prowling rat or something hunched over. Ohh well, nothing to brag about, just fun.

0-60 times for the Prowler are @ 6-6.3 secs. Top speed is @ 130 mph. Your S should own him every time.

I am very curious of what they can do.

My neighbor has a Prowler but I am intimidated to run him. Not knowing how they perform. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Stock Prowlers are slow. They run like a champ on the bottle though. More than 1/2 the Prowler owners I know are spraying a 100+ shot. But I hang out with a lot of crazy people.
