idive	I am looking for the curb weight for my 97 Prowler. I know curb weight is listed in the Facts and Stats, but that is for the 99, which touted more horses pulling a lighter car. The weight on my registration is a rounded estimate. I remember seeing what my curb weight is somewhere, but I can't remember where. Can anyone help me out?

Chromer	I hope the weight listed for a '97 in the link are more accurate than the listed fuel tank capacity!? .... Curb Weight: 2832 Tires: P225/45R-17/P295/40R-20 Brakes, f/r: disc/disc Fuel Capacity: 20.0 Unless otherwise indicated, specifications refer to test vehicle. All prices are manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP) effective as of March 03, 1997. www.plymouthcars.com © 1994-2004 New Car Test Drive, Inc.
FL Phil	The 1997 brochure has the curb weight of 2,800- 2,900 lbs.
idive	Thanks Butchcee for the links. I don't think the info is too acurate tho. The weight difference shown is only 6 lbs different than the 99, per facts and stats? The top speed shows 117, but I've had mine to 127 with room to go. The RPM's in the HP/torque specs are different than what my manual shows. I also noticed the 20 gallon gas tank info in the 2nd link. That link indicated it may be info on a test vehicle and was updated info as of 3-3-97. Might be info on the concept vehicle. I thought I had seen the actual weight in the owners manual or service manual, but couldn't find it in either one.
bbcar	A Issue of Car&Driver Oct. 96 with a road test on a real 97 Prowler shows the curb weight at 2832 and fuel capacity of 12.0 gal of fuel. it showed a et of 15.6 at 87mph and a top speed of 117. I went to a mustang website that has a calculator for et and speed to hp and by adding 200 lbs for driver an a few pounds for fuel I came up with about 160 at the rear wheels. I think that is the same as 99 and newer Kats are getting on the dyno stock? I have also read on this site of a 2000 kat racing a 97 and only beating it by half a car. I wonder if the two engines are really closer in hp than DC says. Barry This message has been edited by bbcar on 09-20-2004 at 11:08 PM
idive	Thanks Barry. I guess 2832 it is then. I would have thought there to be more of a weight difference. At the stampede, I raced Buddy Collins. We're both about the same build. I don't know what year his is (99+) but I had a slight lead on ET (.3), but worse reaction time (his .7584 to my .9911) to make up some of the difference. Was a good even race, but he took me by a nose. His 15.2211 to my 15.4139. He was .1211 off his dial in, I was .0139 off mine.
