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.

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.
