Is there really a Difference

Start at the begining 

What is this Car

The Dubsta 2 is a four door SUV only available in GTA Online that players can steal off the street and make into their own personal vehicle. There are two variants of the Dubsta, the Base Dubsta and the Dubsta 2, the difference between the two is there are more customizable options for the Dubsta 2. 

Why is it Good

The Dubsta 2, having four seats, will be a massive blessing to those who regularly play with friends. When the Dubsta 2 is upgraded at the local mod shop, the top speed and handling will keep most new players happy until they are able to purchase the newer high-end SUV’s Rockstar has been dropping each major update. 

Why you should steal and keep it

The main reason players should buy the Dubsta 2 is because it’s one of the few vehicles in the entire game that require players to camp out and wait for these vehicles to spawn. These vehicles have a lower spawn rate so the time it takes to acquire varies depending on the player's luck.

Dubsta 2 Is Good For

Being a SUV, the Dubsta 2 will be extremely good at:

  • Off Road races that require good grip and handling.
  • Climbing any of the mountains, specifically Mount Chiliad. 
  • Traveling with multiple players.
  • Participating in SUV class races.

How to get the Dubsta 2

The Dubsta can be picked up at one of two locations: Mod shop left of LSIA, and the Mod shop at the center of Los Santos (Most Popular). Players who own a bunker can guarantee a spawn by doing a resupply mission and simply steal one of the enemies all black Dubsta 2.

Start at 7:17

What is this Car

The Lampadati Felon is another four-door vehicle that was released with GTA V and for many years was one of the best in the coupe’s class only beaten out by the Ubermacht Zion. 

Why is it Good

This car has two variants, The Felon and the Felon GT. The Felon gt is a two-door version that doesn’t have any visual modification options or a spoiler (Increases traction) making the base felon a much better option.

Why you should steal and keep it

The Felon is in the coupe class and for many years was the second-best vehicle racers could choose for Couple class races. Over the past 5 years, Rockstar has added new coupes forcing the Felon out of its original top spot. Even with these recent additions the felon can remain competitive if driven by an experienced racer.

Start at 3:00

What is this Car

The Ocelot F620 is a 2-door coupe class car GTA Online players can steal off the streets and make into a personal vehicle.

Why you should steal and keep it

The F620 is a good starting point for the coupe category especially for those players not familiar with the hectic atmosphere of a GTA online race.

The most used in 2013

See the Ubermacht Zion in action: 

Start at 5:05

What is this Car

The Ubermacht Zion is a hardtop 2-seater coupe car based on the infamous BMW E63 M6. The Zion is one of the best in its class, so it is highly recommended players consider picking up one of these off the streets and making it into a personal vehicle. It is always good to have a car in each race class.

Why is it Good

For many years, the Ubermacht Zion has been the number one choice for the coupe class but with the recent addition of HSW cars, the Sentinel XS took the number one spot, bumping the Ubermacht Zion down to second place.

Why you should steal and keep it

The Ubermacht Zion remains in the top three for the entire class so it would be very foolish not to take advantage of the free offer Rockstar gave its players.

Ubermacht Zion Is Good For

  • Coupe Class races.
  • Personal vehicle Time trials.
  • Races that favor handling over top speed.

How to get the Ubermacht Zion

The Zion can be stolen off the street and made into a personal vehicle at the nearest mod shop, the Zion will spawn around the map, so it won’t be too hard to find even for new players.

 

5. Ubermacht Sentinel XS

See the Ubermacht Sentinel XS in action: 

Start at 5:00

What is this Car

The Sentinel XS is a 2-door coupe car that has multiple variations, the sentinel (Convertible) and the Sultan Classic. The Sentinel XS is the best of the bunch as its overall performance and its high-performance potential with HSW Upgrades.

Why is it Good

The design of this car is not the only feature that makes the Sentinel XS great but the access it gives players to the HSW modifications. When players decide to make this leap, The upgraded Sentinel XS will be the undisputed king of the coupe’s class with a top speed of 137.8mph, this is faster than the Pariah, a once top spot holder in the sports class.

Why you should steal and keep it

Players should look at the base Sentinel XS as a worthwhile investment, with the constant influx of HSW cars players will eventually need their own HSW if they want to be competitive.

Ubermacht Sentinel XS is Good for

  • Car meets and other car enthusiast events.
  • In-game lobby events.
  • Heist setup and Auto Shop prep work missions.

How to get the Ubermacht Sentinel XS

The Average Joe of Cars

See the Ubermacht Sentinel XS in action: 

Start at 5:00

What is this Car

The Ubermacht Oracle is a four-door luxury coupe class car featured in both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. Based on the BMW 7 Series F01, GTA V players might notice this vehicle as it is the same one used by Dave (FIB Agent) for most of his story mode missions.

Why is it Good

The Oracle isn’t the fastest of the Coupes nor is it the best at handling, it is however the best choice if you're looking to make the most money from selling street cars, you can make $8,000 for each non-upgraded sale. This was the original money-making method when GTA Online first released.

Why you should steal and keep it

Players that are using the money-making method should make the Ubermacht Oracle a personal vehicle as you can then increase the spawn rate for faster retrieval and sales. 

Ubermacht Oracle is Good for

  • Making money by reselling at the nearest auto shop.
  • Driving with friends. 
  • Teaching new/players how to make legitimate money.

How to get the Ubermacht Oracle

The Best Muscle Car to Exist

See the Vapid Dominator in action: 

Start at 5:00

What is this Car

The Vapid Dominator is the first muscle car on this list and for many years was the number one muscle car for top speed and around a track. Released with GTA V, the vapid Dominator has seen many variations over the years and yet it is still championed by many racers and car enthusiasts alike. 

Why is it Good

The Dominator is still very competitive in the Muscle class and since it can be stolen off the streets for free and made into a personal vehicle, there is no legitimate reason new players shouldn’t pick it up for themselves. 

Why you should steal and keep it

Players that plan on doing races in the future should 100% get this vehicle as there are plenty of inferior muscle cars that cost over $300k and still unable to keep up with the Dominators spectacular performance. 

Vapid Dominator is Good for

  • All Muscle class races.
  • Personal Time Trials.
  • Multi-class Endurance races.

How to get the Vapid Dominator

The Vapid Dominator can be bought from Southern San Andreas Autos website for $35,000 or by stealing it off the road and making it into a personal vehicle.

The Bike everyone thinks of

See the Pegassi Bati 801 in action: 

Start at 5:40

What is this Car

The Bati 801 has been the fastest bike in GTA Online for many years, only being dethroned by the Hakuchou Drag. This bike is undoubtedly the most popular vehicle you can steal as the Bati 801 has quite the top speed of 135 mph, way faster than most Super cars.

 Why is it Good

The 801 is very inexpensive to fully upgrade as it was intended by Rockstar to be a f2p (Free to play) friendly option for new and returning players, for a brief period, Rockstar would give all players free 801’s when they bought their first garage, this was later changed to the feature we have now in which players are given 4 million dollars during character creation. 

Why you should steal and keep it

There are only a few motorcycles faster than the 801 (Hakuchou Drag and the Shotaro) and even fewer that can handle stunt races as well. GTA Online players who do get this motorcycle will quickly realize that the millions of dollars difference for a slight performance upgrade is hardly worth the price tag.

Pegassi Bati 801 is Good for:

  • All Motorcycle class races.
  • Personal Time Trials.
  • Low Budget players.

How to get the Pegassi Bati 801

The Bati 801 can be purchased on Southern San Andreas Auto for $15,000 or by stealing it off an NPC.

What is this Car

The Imponte Phoenix is the second and last muscle car on this list and is based off the iconic and most legendary car the Pontiac Firebird, this is the first ever “rare” car in GTA Online. A muscle car so rare that a huge chunk of the player base doesn’t even know that this vehicle exists. 

Why is it Good

The Imponte Phoenix has amazing top speed and during the golden age of GTA Online (2013-2017) was able to compete against the vapid dominator, sometimes even beating it when the driver knew how to brake boost.

Why you should steal and keep it

If you can find this vehicle in a lobby then you should stop whatever you're doing at the time and try your best to get to a nearby mod shop before it gets stolen off you or worse, blown up by an MKII.

  • Most Muscle class races.
  • Drag races amongst friends and crew.
  • All lobby wide events that require a fast vehicle.
