2000 Panoz AIV vs Plymouth Prowler Comparison Test
Modern performance coupled with classic styling gave the Panoz AIV Roadster a secure foothold in the automotive marketplace. Why build it yourself, when Panoz did all the work for you? Packing a 4.6 liter/305 hp V8 borrowed form the Mustang Cobra, the Panoz lunged to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and pulled 0.97 lateral g on the skidpad. Looking every bit the classic part, the Panoz came with modern amenities and could be serviced at any Ford dealer. Plymouth’s Prowler had the same basic mission that the Viper had over at Dodge: Generate excitement for the brand. With that criterion as a yardstick, the way retro Prowler roadster was a success. For 2000, reduced rear suspension friction and recalibrated front and rear Koni Shocks enhanced overall ride characteristics.
