Aye.

Not much...

The changes they made are all quite subtle. At first I wondered why they would bother? But then I see the result against the original and it’s a definitely an improvement.  I’m torn about the wheel size.  I think if I was doing it I might have opted for 16's but the 18's aren’t bad.  I like the revised front spoiler. …

Perfection.  No yellow stripe for me, though. 

BLUE LIVES MATTER!!!

“Bi-Partisan support” means they have at least one Republican and one Democrat.  It doesn’t mean they have any more than that...

Track record on the most current layout?

In my search for project car/track car ideas I ran across this amazingly cool Karmann Ghia vintage racer. The leap from seeing that to thinking a streetable Karmann Ghia coupe with turbo Scooby power might be just the thing was short and sweet.

It was supposed to mimic a hot-rod and as such should never have been considered a performance car. But a hot-rod comes with it’s own set of expectations and my feeling is the Prowler didn’t quite live up to those either.

It’s extraordinary to think a large car manufacturer actually put something like this in production. At the same time it’s such a let down in a lot of ways, if you think about what a “hot rod” is supposed to be.

My garage is relatively clean and well organized. Plenty of space for more stuff if I had more stuff to put there. Clearly I’m a menace to society...

I’m not really criticizing the money spent. If I had the means to recreate things that one simply can’t buy any more, I would absolutely do it too.

That’s the kind of car the world needs to see running on a track again.  Nice choice.

I think they built two for exactly the reason you mentioned - recoup investment. They would have a bunch of money in tooling, molds, fixtures etc. to build the first car. Why not build a second to get some of that back?  I’m guessing the family had to be convinced of that.  They probably didn’t want them building a…

In the year 2020, yes please. 

I dare say he spent more money recreating the car than than it’s current value. (Assuming one of the museums or private owners offered one for sale.) The last time one changed hands in 2012 it was listed at £750,000. It’s certainly worth more than that now but I’d bet Mr. Holtzman has at least a couple million dollars…

Wrong. You are free to say whatever you want. You are, however, not free from the responsibility and consequences of what comes out of your mouth. 

Yours is fixable. My cracked bottom bracket from a couple years ago: not so much.
