"[2] Gale, who has a hotted up 1932 Ford in his garage, approved the hotrod-inspired Plymouth Prowler as the company's follow-up show-stopper to the Dodge Viper.

A drive shaft within a rigid torque tube connecting a front engine and rear-mounted transaxle are on the C5 Corvette, Porsche 944, and Alfa Romeo 75.

Placement of the transmission in the rear helped to facilitate the Prowler's desirable 50-50 front-rear weight distribution.

While criticized for having only a V6 engine, Chrysler's High Output 3.5  L had a horsepower rating similar to (or higher than) the company's Magnum V8s of that era.

These features included keyless entry, power windows, and door locks, dual airbags, leather-trimmed bucket seats, air conditioning with manual controls, a high-fidelity sound system with AM/FM stereo and cassette player (a multi-disc CD changer was an available option), a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio system controls mounted on the rear of the wheel, a color-keyed instrument panel bezel painted to match the exterior color of the Prowler (a similar feature found on the Chrysler PT Cruiser, which was also originally intended to be sold as a Plymouth), digital odometer and full instrumentation, and, on later models, a speed-sensitive volume control activated via a switch mounted on the Prowler's instrument panel.

These trailers resembled the back end of a Prowler and had 15-inch versions of the five-spoke wheels found on the car.

[14] In 1999, Chrysler unveiled the Plymouth Howler concept at the Specialty Equipment Market Association's annual car show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Inspired by hot rod trucks and based on the Prowler, the Howler featured a small, truck-like bed with a tailgate and hard tonneau cover.
