We always enjoy aftermarket projects that target vehicles which have gone out of production and today we're here to talk about an extremely exciting one, which uses the Plymouth Prowler as a starting point.
As you may remember, the Plymouth Prowler is a modern hotrod-style car that came to the market in 1997, became a Chrysler after its parent brand was killed in 2001 and served the enthusiasts until 2002.
While its styling was aggressive, this wasn't quite matched by the firepower, as, throughout the Prowler was powered by a V6 unit delivering 214 hp at first and 257 hp later on in the vehicle's life.
It wasn't uncommon to see a Prowler with a V8 engine swap, as drivers aimed for a full-throttle hotrod experience.
2013 brings us a new proposal of this kind, which comes from North Carolina-based Performance Innovations, which gifted a 1999 Plymouth Prowler with a 6.1-liter Hemi V8. When it leaves the factory, the V8 unit delivers 425 hp and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) of torque.
The videos below allow you to see how the muscle-injected Prowler behaves in the real world. you can also see additional build detail on the Hemi Prowler Facebook page.
