The Prowler didn't dominate — it survived a crowded field where nine other cars split the rest of the vote so thin that a quarter of the room was enough to win. Mustang led the entire first half, up 100% on day one and still ahead by day two, before Prowler overtook it on day three and held on by a shrinking 25% margin at the finish.
That's a plurality, not a mandate: Mustang (15.6%), Challenger (13.1%) and SLS AMG (11.2%) all stayed within shouting distance, and six other cars combined for over a third of all votes. Retro styling, it turns out, has no consensus pick — just a fractured field and one car that cleared the bar first.
- Fractured field · Winner took only 25.7% against nine rivals
- Late flip · Mustang led wire-to-wire until day 3, then lost it
- Shrinking margin · Prowler's lead fell from 33% to 25% by the end
