The 1969 Plymouth Road Runner is a muscle car that was built by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation.

Although Plymouth already offered a performance car with the GTX, engineers decided to go back to the drawing board and reincarnate the original muscle car concept: able to complete a quarter mile in 14 seconds and sell for less than $3,000. Both goals were met and the low-cost muscle car hit the street.

The success of the Road Runner would far outpace the upscale and lower volume GTX, with which it was often confused.

Need for Speed: ProStreet[]

The Road Runner appears as a part of the Booster Pack DLC for Need for Speed: ProStreet as a tier 2 vehicle with a free price tag.

With the strongest trait being its acceleration, its soft suspension and front-biased weight distribution, the Road Runner requires a lot of braking on corner entry.

It is best used as a Drag car, during the earlier portion of the career mode to outperform AI opponents, whom have less powerful cars during this stage. It remains competitive in later stages of the career as long as both performance and handling upgrades are applied.

Need for Speed: World[]

The Road Runner was made available in Need for Speed: World on March 13, 2012 as a tier 2 car. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as a C class vehicle.

The Road Runner is a competitive car, performance-wise. It has superior handling and nitrous boost to the Chevrolet Chevelle SS. The Road Runner matches well against other B and C class cars, but can be difficult to control in narrow roads because of its length. It can reach a top speed of 134 mph (216 km/h).

Stock: 406 (C class) Maximum: 623 (A class)
