With its outright awesome exterior design, Chrysler simply refused to go all out by giving it proper power to match those killer looks. Going on sale in 1997, it was powered by a 3.5-liter V6 with a measly 214hp and mated to a four-speed Autostick automatic. In 1999, Chrysler swapped in a more powerful version of that engine, now with 253hp and mated to the same transmission. While the improvement was noted, it went from 0 to 62 mph in 5.9 seconds (down from 7.2). Fortunately, the Prowler was constructed from an aluminum chassis that helped keep weight down and improve performance as much as possible.
