Plymouth Prowler facelift

The Plymouth Prowler facelift reaches 60 mph in 5.58 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.09 s, tripping the lights at 97.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.13 s and the eighth mile in 9.06 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Prowler facelift

The 1997 Plymouth Prowler facelift is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,290 kg with 253 bhp, which works out at 196 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 196 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.13 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,723rd quickest to 60 mph, and the quickest of the 3 Plymouths here. It leaves better than it pulls: 97.4 mph at the lights is only the 1,947th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Plymouth Prowler facelift is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
