FBI Cruiser



The FBI Cruiser is a modified version of the "Police" car in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, issued to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Description
Superseding the Kuruma-based FBI Car which appears in the Grand Theft Auto III rendition of Liberty City, the car shares a likeness to the game's Taxi and "Police" car, but is depicted in an all-black body, is largely unmarked, and features a red strobe light on the dashboard. The car, just like its "police" and "taxi" counterparts, resembles a cross between a Chevrolet Caprice and a Ford Crown Victoria.

The car itself isn't much faster than a Sentinel, but retains the same cornering and braking characteristics as the police car and Taxi, and is a reliable vehicle overall. Like any law enforcement vehicle, the player may activate Vigilante side-missions while in the car. Unlike most of its contemporaries, however, the FBI Cruiser cannot be resprayed at any Pay 'n' Spray.

Locations
As expected for a car associated with the FBI, the FBI Cruiser will normally appear only when the player is on a 5-star wanted level, after unlocking Staunton Island. When under the aforementioned wanted level, the car spawns as pursuit vehicles containing four hostile FBI agents each and is capable of a much higher speed than normal (e.g. being able to overtake or ram the player even if they have a much faster car). Multiple FBI Cruisers may also be used in a road blocks.

Other than appearing when the player is wanted, the car also appears in two missions, as explained in the following section.

Mission appearances

 * Contra-Banned: This appears during the cutscene where the deal is made. In this mission it is possible to steal the Cruiser and take it to a safehouse (Thus acquiring the Cruiser before Staunton Island opens up.) This will result in mission failure (From abandoning the drugs filled Patriot.)
 * L.C. Confidential: An FBI Cruiser needs to be stolen as part of the mission to meet a contact with files on Liberty City's athletes. Another one turns up after meeting the contact when your cover is blown by John-O, a FBI agent who was meant to meet the contact.
