Plymouth Prowler Performance Overview
Retro-styled and short-lived, the Plymouth Prowler was produced from 1997 to 2000 and is represented here by 6 independently verified tests. Across those tests, all from production cars, its performance story centers on one generation powered by the EGG 3.5-liter V6, beginning at 214 hp in early naturally aspirated form and extending to 253 hp in the supercharged 2000 Hennessey GTX Roadster. Gasoline was the only powertrain offered, and the measured 0-60 spread runs from 7.1 seconds to 4.5 seconds across the available data.
The first 1997 Roadster established the baseline with a 7.0-second 0-60 run, while another 1997 Roadster recorded 7.1 seconds. By 1999, calibration and output changes brought the Roadster down to 5.7 seconds to 60 mph, marking the model's quickest standard-production result in the test set. Quarter-mile performance followed the same pattern, with the naturally aspirated cars averaging in the mid-14-second range.
The final year produced the quickest figures. The 2000 Hennessey GTX Roadster cut 0-60 to 4.5 seconds and covered the quarter mile in 13.1 seconds at 105.3 mph, the fastest numbers recorded for the model. As documented here across 1997 to 2000, the Prowler ends as a gasoline-only roadster whose measurable performance improved steadily over its brief run.

How we verify Plymouth Prowler performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Plymouth Prowler trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Plymouth Prowler performance FAQs
10 questions For 2000, the quickest recorded Prowler is the heavily modified Hennessey GTX Roadster at 4.5 seconds from 0-60 mph. Another 2000 example, the lightly modified Paxton Roadster, ran 5.1 seconds. Those are the only 2000 runs on record, and both are modified rather than standard production trims.
The quickest Prowler on record is the 2000 Hennessey GTX Roadster, a heavily modified build that reached 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. It also owns the fastest quarter-mile result for the model at 13.1 seconds with a 105.3 mph trap speed, making it the overall benchmark across verified runs.
The fastest stock Plymouth Prowler on record is the 1999 Roadster at 5.7 seconds from 0-60 mph. That distinguishes it from modified versions such as the 2000 Hennessey GTX Roadster and 2000 Paxton Roadster, which are quicker overall but do not represent standard production specification.
Across four Roadster tests, the Plymouth Prowler Roadster averages 6.4 seconds from 0-60 mph, with a best run of 5.7 seconds. The slowest Roadster result on record is 7.1 seconds for a 1997 example, showing a fairly wide spread among standard-production tests for the core trim.
The full 1997-2000 Plymouth Prowler run averages 5.87 seconds from 0-60 mph across 6 tests. The quickest result is 4.5 seconds from the 2000 Hennessey GTX Roadster, while the slowest is a 1997 Roadster at 7.1 seconds. Quarter-mile runs average 14.4 seconds at 94.7 mph.
Within the 1997-2000 production run, the fastest Prowler recorded is the 2000 Hennessey GTX Roadster at 4.5 seconds to 60 mph. If you only want an unmodified production car, the quickest stock result is the 1999 Roadster at 5.7 seconds, which is the stock benchmark for the generation.
The Paxton Roadster is quicker on record. It reaches 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, while the standard Roadster's best recorded 0-60 time is 5.7 seconds and its average across four tests is 6.4 seconds. That gives the lightly modified Paxton version a 0.6-second edge over the quickest stock Roadster run.
The 2000 Hennessey GTX Roadster is quicker than the 2000 Paxton Roadster. The Hennessey car ran 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, while the Paxton car posted 5.1 seconds. That makes the Hennessey build 0.6 second faster to 60 mph among the modified Prowler examples on record.
Across all 6 recorded tests, the Plymouth Prowler averages a 14.4-second quarter-mile at 94.7 mph. The quickest quarter-mile result belongs to the 2000 Hennessey GTX Roadster, which ran 13.1 seconds at 105.3 mph. That is the fastest elapsed time and trap speed recorded for any Prowler test.
There are 6 Plymouth Prowler tests on record, and the overall 0-60 mph average across them is 5.87 seconds. Since the page includes all recorded runs, that total covers the full spread from the 7.1-second 1997 Roadster to the 4.5-second 2000 Hennessey GTX Roadster.
