That Prowler song at the end tho! Dave do one for the MX5
This could also be renamed "Most Generous Plymouth Prowler Review Ever"
Thanks for bringing back my Prowler in one piece. I’m glad it was show AND go 😁😁
K swap turbo it!
You sure it's yours,cuz he borrowed mine and hasn't given it back. Told me it was stolen.😂😂😂
@@ericgarrison5097 Busted
Damn, man. Didnt know you were 33 haha. Makes me feel better that I haven't gotten my dream car yet at 24, I thought you guys were my age 😂 Dope ass channel tho, I subbed them!
@@_dmfd do you even math bro? Grade 7 in 1999. Do the math
The first side shot of merging on to the track next to the barrier, it totally looks like a toy car. Congrats on attaining your dream car Yuri!
You can say a lot of things about Chrysler. But you can never say they weren't trying things. I'd still never buy any of their products, but they tried to do different shit, and I respect that.
On this episode: budget Idubbbz lets budget keemstar drive the most painfully early 2000s car to ever exist
so Waldo has been hiding in Canada...and he drives a Prowler...how could you find him???😕
Lmao, the end was the best part.
A video I never knew I wanted, but couldn't stop watching.
That ending had me dieing!
I love you guys, you dont hate on people's rides.
Prowler bringing out the the hidden Dave 🤣.
Love the angle at 7:34, more of this please! Cool to see the overhead position of the car getting thrown around the track.
Outro game is 11 out of 10 🤣
I would start a Factory Five '33 build before I bought one of these and consider it the easiest decision ever, but I respect how much Yuri loves it and am pumped that he got something he loves that much 👍
I love that u guys track cara and give us times for a true car enthusiast thats all the matters i think.
That drone shot made me think I was watching an early 2000s videogame, sick!
Viper engine prowler build. DO IT!!!
Thats just whats needed to solve the lack of oversteer issue :-)
0:30 - The BIGGEST PLUS about the Prowler is the fact that it shares a coveted spot with the Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari F40. The word is TIMELESS. These cars with their exotic looks are timeless. They will always stop traffic, hold people's attention and fascination whenever they're on the road regardless of the year.
Someone said to me, "it's because you don't see too many of these cars on the road," but that's not entirely true. that plays a small part, but not a big part. EXAMPLE; Today, it's very rare to spot a 2005-2006 Pontiac GTO on the streets, and yet, if you saw one, you wouldn't bat an eye. Not so with the Prowler and it didn't come with the LS1-LS2 Power plant.
That was a Lot of fun to watch. Great job! I have never seen a Prowler in person, but kudos to Plymouth for creating it. Enjoy it Yuri .. it looks and sounds sweet :)
"The front end works really well" as he almost understeers off track haha
Ending was legit
Love the drone shots
I remember a purple one sitting in the showroom of my local dealer for ages!
Love your guys content. If you get a chance, please make a video on chassis bracing. Currently there are no credible sources that tell us the difference in lap times after installing a strut bar, sub frame connectors, roll bar etc which all add to the stiffness of the chassis. Anyways great channel PT and DP
Straight pipes & speed academy crossover!!!!! We just need to jump Jakub's raptor at the Toronto Motorsports park now!
Also that outro song was legendary...
stay for the song.
*A 2JZ Swapped Prowler.....you have my attention.*
Won't fit
But I bet it’ll fit into an E46...
@@MikeEH3 Maybe even in a 4th Gen Supra
people have 5.7 Hemi swapped them, manual transmissions too. now THAT would be an exciting car
@@hank1556 hellcat.😊
I hope you can bring these track tests back. They are fun.
That was surprisingly cool!!!
Nigel from Rugrats as a car... smashing
Lmao wasn't Nigel from the Wild ThornBerries hahahaha waaaay off
I LOVE IT!!!! With some Wilwood brake upgrades and updated tires and wheels. It would be a great contender in drifting and canyon carving!!!! Great video and thanks for sharing!!!! You made my night.
How have Dave's sonorous pipes gone unappreciated for so long?
The Pavarotti of the car world? 🤷♂️🤣
Totally LMAO at that outro 😂
Dave, you are the man!!!
Best subscribe reminder ever Dave. Haha.
I have driven one years ago, it was quite fun to cruise around in it.
Love the drone shot! Gotta do more angles and shots like this. It elevates your videos!
I never realised there where a hidden race car in the prowler. Fancy inboard suspension, transaxle layout and fairly low weight aluminium body etc. If they just had a decent 5speed manual in there to complete the weird mix ot performance design and a 90s concept car.
2500ibs is kinda heavy, 300ib more than summat like a miata
This outro is gold
coolest car ever
both channel that i liked.one for hands on mods and one for new car review.
New mic? Sounds good, and new drone?
that wrap up in the end xD
Dântalo Paula 🤣
epic outro!
Usually, content like 10:29 onward is available for only Patreon supporters. Prowlers, all of us.
Nice!! Great ending.... :-)
So you say Pete’s been buying 2JZs lately?
Is that some foreshadowing of what’s to come for the M3?
Nathan Young I’m wondering the same thing.
It was kinda like watching a Hot Wheels car race around a track! XD
Those 3.5s wasn't bad for the time my friend had a intrepid it would set you back in the seat
I remember the torque from near idle! Meaty engine they were!.
....right?!
To add perspective, they made 250hp when the Mustang GT made 260hp
Arnold Verghese agreed . I remember hearing them taking off from redlights. they sound sweet. Always reminded how the gnx was. Had that v8 tone at low idle cruise speed.
I like your review, especially the last part. Reminds me a lot of the "American" from previous seasons of Grand Tour. Subscribe
I'm Peter! I'm Dave! And we're going for a car review!
Best ending ever
The outro really outshined all outro’s ever done. The return of Duke Silver..
At least someone is making videos with it
Love the drone footage!
3:38 - it is such a good-looking car.
Oh man I have always loved the Plymouth prowler . I remember the first day prowler came out . For me though I prefer the beauty purple . 🤗
I found Waldo
Actually a really cool car if only it had a manual instead of that ancient 4 speed. 90s interiors from Chrysler was quite bad. Really enjoyed this
8:52 - Swap out the new transmission gear available for the Prowler. You can actually spin the rear tires. It adds a different personality to that car and improves your 0-60 time.
It was the best handling car in gran turismo 1. Prowler was my go to car against my younger brother who’d always pick the Escudo. Lol
I always wanted a 1970 Plymouth Cuda
Love Yuri's drone footage here! Glad to see this crossover, can't wait for the miata video. :)
Yuri’s drone footage? We don’t know what you’re talking about 🤷♂️😆
So the M3 is getting a 2JZ, who would have guessed? Lol
Loved it! Great addition with the drone shots!
That first drone shot was awesome! Awesome content as usual guys!
Super cool car. Good choice for a dreamcar. 😎👍
I've always liked the Prowler as well. Maybe in the future I might get one .but imma do a v8 engine swap to give it more character 😁😎
The end :D
If you actually look at a Prowler, it's a front mid engine layout so weight distribution should be pretty good
The prowler is literally a extended modified PT cruiser.
Prowler came out in 97
Pt Cruiser came out in 2001
Just about the only part that's interchangable between the 2 is the oil filter
Nicholas Rodrigues still just a fancy PT cruiser. Their performance is pretty interchangeable 😂
@@mrmidnight32 you think the performance of a RWD aluminum chassis car with 250hp is interchangeable with the performance of a FWD unibody economy car that has a much higher center of gravity and is heavier while making 100hp less?
Have you ever actually driven a car?
Nicholas Rodrigues as in they both suck? Yes, that’s exactly what I think lol
Can you take your self anymore seriously dude?
@@mrmidnight32 I absolutely can
I got my dream car in the "perfect spec," four speed automatic, lol.
j/k I love you yuri.
Do they even come in manual
Time to get the Hummer H1 on the track 😂
another good video, get your thumbs outta that wheel
I know it’s not a true “factory “ car but the Panoz AIV was around at the same time and I think may have inspired the Chrysler engineers a bit on this one 👍
This is my first video I’ve watched on this channel and I thought it was keemstar at first lol.
Thumbs up for the sick boomer outro 👌👌👌
Wasnt the 300m engine (same in the prowler) more powerful than the intrepid?
Prowler Dave :-D
I wonder if a manual transaxle out of a vette would fit in it?
I would swap a 392 from a Charger or a Challenger into it. Keep it relatively tame but that sound would back up the looks.
Hellcat Redeye/Demon Engine and a Stick... maybe... Sponsors?
I wonder if a supercharger kit for a v6 charger would fit this?
Is that Yuri's prowler? lol, yup!
God this thing is such a cool pos lol
I worked at a Starbucks in college around 2003-2004 and used to see one of the local ambulance chaser lawyers drive in there on Saturday mornings in his yellow Prowler, and always order his triple-venti heavy cream caramel machiatto.
Little known fact I still remember from reading about this car in Motor Trend when it first came out: the Prowler was the first production car to have 20-inch wheels and tires.
Where's waldo? Has finally been answered😁
Considering he didn't go full DP, out of respect for the car of course...I wonder what it's real lap time would be? With fresh brake fluid and better pads 🤔 good time considering! I remember having a Prince Purple on one of my Calendars as a Kid. I didn't bother flipping the Calendar after that. Lost track of time and now I'm 29 😂
That song at the end tho end tho 👌🔥💯 Who needs freestyle Rap when we got Freestyle Dave? 🤩
Same 3.5 as Grandpa's Intrepid!
When do they have a go at the Miata?
Wednesday!
@@speedacademy if you gentlemen could start adding some stakes in, i think it would be very interesting ;)
Would this car pass the broomstick test? Are there pop up roll bars in case it flips over?
Definitely not a broomstick legal machine
I think DP just gave away what is going to be swapped into the super car killer.
I’ve been working at dodge dealerships for 18 years now, one of these will come in every now and then. Love the look but that 3.5 engine is such an over complicated boat engine I hate it. That being said, there weren’t a lot of other v6 options at the time.
Thanks for showing us Where's Wallys car.
The final LeBaron evolution
I Remember that car in the game Midtown Madness.
Midtown madness 1? That was a Panoz Roadster, not a prowler.
Eh... same same with the graphics back then.
Where is Wally? He's in prowler 😂
pete buying 2j? is that a spoiler ? :p
The shift kickback might be the autoclutch
Interesting ride!!! Needs a v8 tho!
