If you are too young to remember the year 2000, let me put it this way: That’s strange. But why tell if I can show? Look at the picture up top. To be clear, the Plymouth Prowler was a one-of-a-kind car in 2000, but it looks even stranger when looked at through the lens of the car business in 2025. There was no doubt that hot rodders liked the way it looked. In fact, they were willing to break all current safety rules to make it look like old iron without any repairs. The fact that it didn’t look like the cars next to it with melted soap bars also helped it look the part. The Prowler, on the other hand, was skinny and scary. In 2001, we were still making minivans. Journalists today would have laughed at the idea of Ram as a separate brand. It had about 2,800 pounds of weight and the same amount of power as the Honda S2000. However, it had a V6 engine designed for minivans and a four-speed automatic gearbox, rather than a four-cylinder engine with high revs and a finicky six-speed. Snoozeville. This can be done with help from Michel’s Auto Design. This store in Wisconsin has a low-key, turnkey choice for turning your stock V6 Prowler into a Hellcat-powered stick-shift monster. Prowlers that have been swapped out for Hellcats have been seen before, but no store has sold them as a standing structure yet. The “Sinister” package comes with a Tremec T56 6-speed manual gearbox, a Mopar crate Hellcat engine (with 707 horsepower), a custom-made independent rear suspension, a front bumper that is cut out, a custom-made valved exhaust with an X-pipe built in, better cooling, and custom hood vents. Yes, the air conditioning from the building is still there. How did they get everything inside? Well, be careful. The video below shows how tight it was: The Prowler’s biggest problem has been fixed, as long as you can buy it. What’s good? Since the base cars are still (relatively) cheap, the upgrade is the most expensive part of this deal.
