There both ugly, so I would park the cars both really close to each other and next to an exploding object (play timeplitters 2). Then I fire the rocket at the exploding object. Much fun.

I don't know, the SSR is fugly but the Prowler is a poseur engine-wise. Ugh, come back to me in five minutes when I make my choice. K, made it, Prowler.

silverhawk...but can you really classify the prowler as a sports car? it might look like one but it lacks the heart of one for sure. it doesnt even handle good and its not fast for sure. does anybody here watch american chopper? did you ever see the episode where pauly JR was hookin nitrous up to his prowler..what an idiot..they might be able to build some bikes (although im not the biggest fan of their bikes cuz most of the parts they use are just parts you can buy anywhere) but it sure shows hes an idiot when it comes to cars. i dunno i just found it funny that he drives a prowler. he probably saw that on the lot and was like man i sure can look like a douchebag drivin this...i'll take it!

The Prowler is definitely more lame because, as many have said before, it has a V-6. At least the SSR has a V-8.

There's nothing wrong with a V6, although the one that sits in the Prowler isn't exactly any good.

SSr is alot worse, It may have a better engine but it doesn't have better looks. Where with the prowler, it may have a wimpy engine but I kinda like it's body. You could still do some engine mods and make it pretty cool.

I didn't mean that all V-6s are bad but the Prowler was portraid as an American roadster yet it has a wimpy V-6.

The SSR actually looks nice and is original-the Prowler was Chrysler trying to dumb down the Panoz Roadster for a broader market, then blatantly advertising it as 'the first hot rod ever.'

Ill take ss-r over Plymouth Prowler any day

I concur. The Prowler seriously dissapointed me, becasue I actually liked the stlying until it turned out to be seriously underpowered. Kind of like the 1994 and above V6 Mustangs (pre 2005)...

The recent pre-'05 Mustang GT's have not been underpowered. Sure, they could have had more power, but they could move very nicely thank you very much.

Ok..if you say so.. I guess it is all relative...But 190hp for a sports car as heavy as a Mustang isn't really much...
