- Wow, this old RUclips video was posted 14 years ago, on a story aired 26 years ago. How many less Probes are around today in 2020. Very sad as you never see them anymore.
just thought i'd check out this review again...Id commented a yr or so ago b4..still have my 94 gt 5spd abt 206,000 mi .. still as slow as molasses.. gotta be the weakest 6 cyl ive Ever experienced... most 4 bangers feel like beasts compared to mine.. runs smooth ,idles fine,sounds sweet, no codes, no misfires ,180psi compression, recent cat and o2 sensors, vris verified working, no vacuum leaks , new disty and wires ,recent plugs,great oil pressure, so WTF? how can an engine run That weak,? i swear it has 100whp by the butt dyno..also put a knock sensor on it and still no real improvement... i give up..its reliable and looks nice and gets me from point a to b but exciting? nope...any modern 4 banger feels like a missle by comparison..
This was my buddy’s car , he had a hotshot header ported intake manifold and throttle body , custom pvc ram air and a center force clutch a lightened fly wheel that’s about it
I bought my probe gt new in 1994, its 24yrs old and i still have it..been fairly reliable..original clutch, exhaust,engine never rebuilt all stock..186,000 mi... but... its slow, i mean i got to work it to keep up with 4 bangers..granted, todays 4cyl are actually wayy more powerful than the 164hp probe v6, but yah, it feels weak to me, till midrange..lowend is soft and always feels like u need to wring it out just to match the freakin corollas leaving from a stoplite.....sounds nice though,even with original exhaust...and its smooth... great 5 spd tranny that needs a 6th gear for highway so bad... it gets looks all the time and u do NOT see this car everywhere u look, its rare, its different, way so unlike todays cars that all look alike. ...i like most not having to make payments on it and ,i Know the car inside and out since ive had it soo long and have always done all the work myself..its so much easier to work on than modern cars..good luck if u got a new one and it breaks... and it Will, in time..
KLZE swap and MAF swap, 2.5" exhaust the whole way with Magnaflow hiflow cat and Muffler. It's an easy swap bolts in. You can buy the MAF swap from a guy on here. Naturally aspirated you'll be in the 5 second range 0-60. It's a ton of fun and the sound is like nothing else.
@@pgtmr2713 wow brother! ill tell ya, id be happy to even be in the 6.5 sec range.. an engine swap is more than i want to do to get some speed...limited money and tools here unfortunately.. the maf swap sounds interesting though..how much of a change would that give me? i always thought the original VAF was a horrible restrictive design! i had a magnaflow cat on mine for a yr...sounded GREAT but the damn thing melted on the inside and i had to go back to a walker cat.. dont know why that happenned, no check engine lights and new o2 sensors when i had the magnaflow..
The most expensive tool I had to buy was the engine crane. 175 with a balancer at Hobo Fright. My engine was a great find for $600. I had to drill a hole in the midshaft mounting bracket for the passenger axle to get 3 bolts onto the block. Where the DE bolts up with only 2. I loosened the Cruise control, unplugged it and moved it out of the way enough. Modified the throttle cable bracketby drilling a hole for it to work. That was all the work that went into my swap. Engine still beautiful inside no sludge. My Magnaflow Cat is still clean, I can see through it, 12k miles hard driving since the swap.I had to check the cat when it failed emissions. I believe it failed because the header flex pipe and broke let in air before the cat. The swap itself was easy. Take the engine and trans out together put em back in together. Not an intimidating job at all. Take your time, make sure you get everything you need and you should be fine.
0-60 in 7.3 seconds is still actually faster than the AVERAGE ( considering all cars, trucks and SUVs) car on the road. But I know you'd really have to go row through those gears fast to get that time. But still, pretty quick.
I own a 93 PGT .. For some reason I love driving it better than this NSRT4 I had , sometimes speed don't mean shit if you love the way it handles and drives .. Probes look good as hell from the front btw ..I've owned about 7 cars and this mofo handles better than anything I've driven , good cars in my opinion.
Well... I haven't found really anything for awhile now in junkyards. But, I've been collecting parts for years now. I have tons of parts, all 4 intakes, a complete kl31 klze, (RUclips it for sound and see what it can run,) that could only be more mint if it was in a box. If I absolutely need something, I can get it online. I don't think there is anything that can deliver as much total car experience for the money. Great driving experience from the handling, shifting, engine sound, engine refinement, higher tq than other cars in it's class, light weight at 2800lbs. with all options (same as a naturally aspirated Porsche 944.) Then there's the technical aspects of the engine, 6 cyl, with forged steel crank with a cradle instead of individual caps, everything designed for high rpm durability with all the right sounds. Variable resonance intake system for a wider tq curve, the 4 intakes I have make peak tq at different rpms. You could turbocharge and go racing against some pretty fast cars for merely a few thousand dollars. I paid $650 for car #2 running.
PGTMR2 I'm trying to find one in Georgia, hard to find a gt and mx6 with the k engine. I also tried looking for the mx3 with the v6 , impossible to find. It's like everyone bought one with the automatic and 4 cylinder.
The forgotten best all-around sports coupe of the 90's...Hands down. Funny thing? Once I switched out of a GS-R Integra for a PGT, needless to say I'd never buy another GS-R.
I know exactly how you feel. I had to turn down an offer of 3,500 for my PGT with 100,000 on her just because I couldn't let her go. I have a feeling I'm never getting rid of her
I like these cars whats more reliable this motor or the 2.2 litre turbo? there pretty cheap Im tempted to buy a turbo 89 one strip all the interior buy some performance break pads a boost controler some used racing seats and maybe a fiberglass hood. and call it a day. that thing would kill a lot of stuff setup like that.
FPGT24 nope ur wrong i spoke with a salesperson at Bill Kay Ford in Midlothian, Il and said u have no idea what ur talkin about. The Probe was not placed under the cougar name. EVER!! Give me some links that tells me that. Please tell me the name of ur dealership and location. I can give u a call and maybe stop by and make u look stupid. I OWNED a 1994 Probe GT!! Do u understand that? It was a manual and it was so damn slow. My cavalier would destroy my old Probe in a race. It's a fact little man. Also how many people have u ripped off telling them to buy shitty carslike a Probe. Ok loser ur turn!!
Go to Wikipedia...cougar was ment to be a probe they decided to switch it and bring back the cougar half way thru the production for the 3rd gen probe.
Your cavalier? No way. I've never lost to a cavalier in my PGT. You're just a diehard Government Motors fan who feels backed into a corner by the superiority of Ford's products
you further prove yourself to be an absolute moron by judging how good a car is by how long its been made. thats the stupidest shit i have ever heard. i can name you tons of shitty, shitty, SHITTY cars that were made for many years. for example, dodge minivans. MILLIONS MADE, but do you ever see any of them except the 01+ models on the road? No. They are still being made too. Cavaliers were garbage and always were, they only sold cuz they were cheap as dirt and great on gas.
You are VERY arrogant. You are tellin a person who has owned 15 Probe GTs, 10 other cars with the Mazda KL, 98 Z24 and 04 Cav, and im also a licensed dealer that deals with Cavs all the time. Yet you still sit there and tell me a pos Cavalier is faster than a Probe? Dude, you are an idiot. And no, the Probe was around till 02, it was placed under the Cougar name from 99-02. Cav was around since early 80's. You have no clue what ur talkin bout, please comment back so i can continue to school you.
Ok dude the Probe isn't as fast as a Cavalier period. Remember I owned both cars. Did u read my entire post? And yes the Cav looks alot better than a Probe. Oh also since u think u know alot about cars, u should know that Ford loved the Probe so much it was only around for 8 years. But the Cav was around for 13 years. So whats a better car again? Your turn??
i've had 15 Probe GT's. still have a 95 GT 5 speed, had her for almost 4 years. Im a car dealer that can get pretty much any car i want, and I choose Probes over any and all. My current daily driver is a 96 Mazda 626 ES V6 5 speed...identical drivetrain and chassis as Probe GT's just a different body and interior. its fast as shit. way quicker than my Probe, i dunno why.
LOL.....get the fuck outta here dude. a fucken cavalier? first of all, im a car dealer, ive driven plenty of those BUCKETS. they are exactly that, BUCKETS. garbage. the ecotec is def a peppy engine buts its junk, and the one craptastic 04 cavalier 5 speed i had would not hold up to ANYTHING equipped with the Mazda KL V6. ive owned over 25 cars with the Mazda KL engine, 15 of them being Probe GT's. you have your head a mile up your ass if you think a POS cavalier is better lookin than a Probe.
@eancaafsufan A probe gt or mx6 ls will rape a cavalier ls. Ive had a 93 ls with 164k miles and just a cone filter. Raced my friends brand new 06 cobalt, twice from a roll and I had raped it. Raced twice from a dig and had 5 cl at 90. He is a good driver too. But yeah I agree a cav looks better than a probe just for the fact its newer! maybe your probe was an automatic, which should still beat a 2.2
Yeah im sorry to say I bought this piece of shit Probe. And the car was so slow even as a five speed. Trust me put a survey of whats a hotter car between the 94 Probe GT and the 2005 Cavalier LS Sport. I promise use its gonna be the Cav. Your turn little man.

How to know that's exactly a baby boy.????
Are you pregnant male??
Identical to my 1st car...

I still have my 93PGT but yeah its been years since I've seen one on the road.
Love them, had an MX6, just got a 93 gt 5spd. With a different name, they would have been a hit.

The beautiful and extremely rev happy KL might be a Mazda, but it was co-engineered with Porsche ;) something we Probe fans are well aware of
Pls say how u predict its a baby boy
Leg Movement is right side

Stock programmable equalizer and built-in subwoofer in 94'. Awesome.

I love the pop-up lights! It's a pro for me.
bring back the probe

Srt4 Milo what 7 cars have u owned?
A lot of it is Japanese.
I love my MX6 (same engine) I get 36 mpg at 60!
I still love them. I have 2 GTs right now.

- Hard to find them today, at least locally. I would not mind picking up a second one.

whoohaaXL it's that much better huh?
I had a 1994 Probe GT (V6) I got new. I had fun everywhere I drove that car. I felt like crying when I traded it in.
I know exactly how you feel. I had to turn down an offer of 3,500 for my PGT with 100,000 on her just because I couldn't let her go. I have a feeling I'm never getting rid of her
