GTA 5 - Cars Info / Guide

This is for both new and old player in GTA V. This is not a brief and short summary with quick tips, this is a massive clutter of info about cars, modifying them, buying them, and understanding them. It’s a lot to take in but you can kinda just skip and scroll through to find what you need like a reference table.

Cars: If you’re into cars, there are various types that you can invest your time and money into. Many cars in the GTA universe are replicas of real life ones that usually are combined together. ex: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution combined X Subaru Impreza, Toyota Supra X Nissan 300zx.

The purchase price of cars will reflect their modification prices.

Certain cars will behave much differently from other cars and may contradict the stats shown.

While many cars have basic modifications available, more iconic cars like the Honda Civic Type R EK9 (Blista Kanjo) will have much more modifications available.

When modifying a car, keep into consideration real life physics. Spoilers, canards, skirts, diffusers, bumpers, vortexes, carbon, and etc. will usually or at least should have an effect on the handling of a car. And even if it doesn’t help the handling, it would make the car look at least better, cleaner, and realistic.

The sections below are based on when you sit in a car and the name and type of car is shown in the bottom right corner.

Supercars: These cars are generally very expensive and most higher level people buy and rice tf out of them. Most of these cars have usually maxed out or almost stats.

Sports: More of the iconic cars, tuners, and modern muscle cars are placed in this category and can be bought at a more reasonable price but can still be expensive. Stats are usually high or maxed for acceleration and high for top speeds.

The cars less aimed towards being a luxury car will be much lighter in weight (This can apply in other sections too). Though I am unsure if weight is reflected that well in the game, it’s just something to keep in mind.

Sports Classics: Sports Classics generally consist of hot rods, old supercars, and older generations of iconic cars. If not all then most Sports Classics are very expensive. Not all of the cars in this section will perform great as age does reflect performance. And if you decide to slam a turbo in and max upgrade everything, you will still have to compensate in handling based off of the car (use your own discretion; max upgrades on a van has it limits).

Sedans: Most cars in this section are either modern, luxury, or old. The prices for cars in this section consist of a very wide range.

Muscle: Muscles cars consist of hotrods, muscle (obviously), and some pickup trucks. The section has a wide variety of ages and prices. If you hold down the handbrake, full throttle, and release the handbrake, you may or not do a wheelie depending on the muscle car you are driving.

Coupes: The coupes are all luxury hardtops and some convertibles.

Compacts: This section is made up of a mix of offroad and economy cars. The cars in this section are generally FWD (front wheel drive).

SUVS: This section is made up of luxury SUVS and Jeeps (basically white mom cars) . A good number of these make up the cars in the city. Some cars are exceptions to the white mom car stereotype and can look really nice if you can pull of the modifications right. ex: lamborghini Urus, Jeep Wrangler, or even Range Rover

Stealing: There are a good number of cars that are actually worth taking off the streets and keeping. Though you cannot keep cars that are “too hot,” some cars can be modified or upgraded at Benny’s to be really nice and may even end up being your main car. Cars will vary in rarity when it comes to finding them. Some cars will only be found in specific locations or even times.
