Why $500k?
Rockstar's new Daily Sell Limit caps vehicle sale payouts in a reset window. Resale values above $500,000 are shown struck through; $500k reflects the current in-game cap (May 2026 update). Learn more.
Benchmarks
Top speed from GTA V handling files (stock profile). Lap time and tested top speed are optional community benchmarks from GTACars.
Workshops & upgrades
Imani Tech at your Agency Vehicle Workshop ($800,000 bay required).

Mutually exclusiveInstall either the missile jammer or remote control — not both.
- Missile Lock-On JammerBlocks homing missile lock-on from Oppressor Mk II, Homing Launcher, and similar weapons.$400,000
- Remote Control UnitDrive your Personal Vehicle remotely from the Interaction Menu.$235,000
- Armor PlatingReinforced door armor — survives up to 11 homing missiles or 3 RPGs at 100% armor with a player inside.$150,000
- Primary WeaponsFront-mounted machine guns installed at the Agency workshop.$297,000
- Slick Proximity MinesDrop mines that briefly disable steering and brakes on vehicles that drive over them.$135,000
Armor plating stacks with either the missile jammer or remote control unit. GTA+ members can add missile jammers at the Vinewood Club garage on additional eligible vehicles.
Handling & mods
Stock handling summary, model flags, handling.meta flags, mod tips, and full numeric profile. Handling.meta curb-boost / reduced-mass flags need a full meta extract.
- AI handling profile
- AVERAGE
- How NPC traffic drives this model.
- Launch wheelspin
- 1.1
- Lower = cleaner hard launches; higher = more burnout.
- Aero drag
- 10.2
- Air resistance — lower often helps top speed.
- Downforce
- 0
- Spoiler/aero downforce from handling.meta.
- Brake bias (front)
- 0.425
- Front vs rear braking split.
- Ride height
- 0
- Stock suspension raise — clearance for off-road.
- Weapon damage taken
- 1
- Lower = tankier against bullets.
- Crash damage
- 1
- Lower = survives collisions better.
- Drivetrain
- Rear wheel drive
- From GTACars / game data.
- Centre of mass
- x 0, y 0, z 0
- Lower Z can mean more stable; high Z increases flip risk.
- Inertia multiplier
- x 1, y 1.35, z 1.6
- Rotational resistance — affects how quickly the body rolls and yaws.
- Engine + turbo (LSC)
Engine upgrades and turbo improve acceleration on almost every land vehicle. Combine with transmission for faster gear changes.
- Armor plating (LSC)
Body armor reduces bullet and explosion damage. 100% armor dramatically increases survivability — essential for PvP and missions.
- Bulletproof tires (LSC)
Prevents tires from popping when shot — keeps you moving under fire. Pairs well with armor.
- HSW Buffalo STX
HSW conversion unlocks top-tier muscle performance — do conversion before cosmetic weight from heavy armor if racing.

- Drive force
- 0.343
- Acceleration power from handling — higher generally means stronger launches.
- Aero drag
- 10.2
- Air resistance coefficient. Lower often helps top speed on straights.
- Downforce modifier
- 0
- Aero downforce from spoilers and body — higher can add grip at speed.
- Max traction
- 2.58
- Peak grip — affects cornering and off-road bite.
- Min traction
- 2.4
- Baseline grip when sliding or on loose surfaces.
- Lateral traction
- 22.5
- Side grip in corners — higher resists sliding sideways.
- Traction loss
- 1
- How fast grip fades when wheels spin. Lower = less wheelspin.
- Low-speed wheelspin
- 1.1
- Launch traction — lower helps hard launches; higher can mean more burnout.
- Traction bias (front)
- 0.484
- Front vs rear grip split. 1.0 = FWD bias, 0.0 = RWD bias.
- Brake force
- 0.95
- Stock braking power before LSC brake upgrades.
- Brake bias (front)
- 0.425
- Front vs rear brake balance. Higher = more front braking.
- Handbrake force
- 0.6
- Handbrake bite — important for drifting and rally handbrake turns.
- Steering lock
- 38
- Maximum wheel angle — higher helps tight low-speed turns.
- Suspension stiffness
- 2.4
- Spring rate — affects body roll and stability over bumps.
- Suspension raise
- 0
- Stock ride height offset — positive raises the body (ground clearance).
- Suspension upper limit
- 0.09
- How far wheels travel upward — affects compression over bumps.
- Suspension lower limit
- -0.11
- How far wheels droop — affects rebound and off-road articulation.
- Anti-roll bars
- 0.8
- Reduces body roll in corners.
- Roll centre (front)
- 0.27
- Front roll axis height — affects cornering stability and flip tendency.
- Roll centre (rear)
- 0.27
- Rear roll axis height — pairs with front for balance in turns.
- Camber stiffness
- 0
- Sidewall stiffness in cornering — higher resists rolling onto the tire shoulder.
- Percent submerged
- 85
- How deep the vehicle can sit in water before flooding (amphibious / boats).
- Fuel tank volume
- 65
- Fuel capacity in liters — minor range implication.
- Weapon damage taken
- 1
- Multiplier for weapon damage. Lower = survives more hits.
- Collision damage
- 1
- Crash damage multiplier.
- Engine damage
- 1.5
- How easily the engine fails from damage.
About this vehicle
Forget whatever you think you know about keeping it in the family. Sure, the Buffalo and the Gauntlet were closely related. But in the grand old state of San Andreas, if two first cousins want to get to know each other better over a cup of engine oil that's none of the government's business, especially if the children are this good-looking.
