Scramjet

"The Declasse Scramjet is final proof that the greatest inventions are accidents. No one thought we had any need to jolt a hyper-stylized retro speedster thirty feet into the air and turbo boost it into the side of the nearest high-rise. But once it happened, and we saw the kind of potential it unleashed, there was no going back. This one's for the dreamers."

- Warstock Cache & Carry description.

The Declasse Scramjet is a custom weaponized vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the After Hours update, released on August 21st, 2018, during the Scramjet Week event.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Scramjet takes cues from the popular 1960s Anime series  and the lead car, the. The front and rear fenders resemble those found on the Alfa Romeo 33/2 Coupé Speciale.

The Scramjet is distinguished by its rounded and sleek profile, featuring a trident-like front end with small intakes on each side of the central nose. On the outer edges, large circular lamps can be seen housed behind glass casings, bearing plastic fittings around them. The hood area is relatively curved and has bulky formations on the edges that define the fender areas, while additional lines are seen continuing from the central nose and leading towards where the fender formations end.

On the sides, the vehicle has triangular formations near the wheels and a narrower shape in the middle with the corresponding seams for the access doors, as well as triangle-shaped mesh intakes on the rear section. The cabin area is always depicted with an open top, featuring a curved windshield seemingly aligned with the door windows, and two elevated formations with sharp fins seen directly behind the seats.

The rear end has a concave profile with a similar pattern to the front end, where the outer portions house the rectangle-shaped tail lights and the outer edges house black circular exhausts, which double as rocket boosters.

The interior of the car is mostly unique, featuring a set of "Dominator" dials arranged in a way where the speedometer and tachometer are placed on a driver-side console, and smaller display gauges in the center of the dash and below the radio set. The top side of the same dashboard features a rectangular mirror in the center, and the steering wheel bears the manufacturer emblem in the center. It uses large seats with safety belts.

The vehicle only has access to a single primary color applied to the bodywork and the stitching around the steering wheel. It also uses a set of wheels that are identical to the "Drag SPL" muscle wheels available in Los Santos Customs and Beeker's Garage, which can also support a dedicated color (although only examples generated in the Content Creator may have one). The front wheels are also narrower than the rear ones.

The vehicle is armed with a set of machine guns and missile launchers, which are located on the front intakes.

Vehicle
The Scramjet's aerodynamic design allows for good acceleration and top speed, as well as decent handling and braking. Its suspension is low due to its wheels having, often struggling to sort small barriers, but it is slightly compensated by the front end having a sloped profile, sorting out curbs and small bumps normally.

The Scramjet has 5 Advanced Flags activated, including the 4 flags introduced in the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series update, with only the first three having known purposes. They are as follows:
 * The first causes up-shifting to occur much sooner, and at lower engine revolutions, effectively shortening shift rates.
 * The second causes the vehicle's engine to heavily over-rev and remain at the engine red-line for a much longer period of time before shifting, causing revolutions to fluctuate.
 * The third increases the vehicle's suspension "springiness", causing it to bounce excessively while driving.

The Scramjet is powered by a front engine, coupled to a 6-speed gearbox and powering the rear wheels. Its engine sound is similar to that of the XA-21.

Armor
Protection-wise, the Scramjet offers little to no resistence to explosive damage, as one direct hit by a Homing Missile is able to destroy it. Furthermore, due to its open-top design, the occupants are also prone to sustained gunfire. Inadvisable to take this vehicle to heavy shootout scenes.

Abilities

 * The Scramjet has a power hop that provides the same effectiveness as the Ruiner 2000. This helps the car in avoiding obstacles such as concrete barriers and roadblocks.
 * The Scramjet features a rocket booster that is more effective than other similar vehicles, propelling the vehicle for two and a half seconds, but takes four seconds to recharge. Unlike most cars with the same feature, the booster can be deactivated earlier upon activation, allowing for more controllable speed boosts.

Both abilities can be used simultaneously, making the Scramjet a great vehicle for shortcuts and evading most enemies. However, it requires practice, as the car tends to lean forward when using the booster mid-air. This also requires awareness of the environment, as the car may accidentally end up getting stuck or even sinking on water.

Weaponry

 * Machine Gun: The vehicle is equipped with two front-facing machine guns, which perform the same as those of vehicles such as the Blazer Aqua and the Ruiner 2000. They have decent firepower against players and vehicles with none or light armor, but will struggle against heavily-armored vehicles.
 * Missiles: the vehicle is equipped with two homing missile launchers, which provide heavy firepower against most targets and have good tracking capabilities, albeit still inferior to the ones from the Ruiner 2000. The launchers appear to have slightly decreased fire rate, taking 1.5 seconds to fire the next missile compared to most vehicles, which only take a second flat. They also have a limited capacity of 30 missiles.

The driver has access to their weapons for drive-bys, being useful against targets that are away of the vehicle's front or in situations where lighter weaponry is vital (i.e. retrieving a target vehicle).

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Scramjet can only be modified at a vehicle workshop, which is located either inside an upgraded Mobile Operations Center, in an upgraded Avenger, or at the Arena Workshop (if the player has purchased the Weapons Expert mechanic).

When purchased, the Scramjet comes painted in the following colors by default:

Grand Theft Auto Online

 * Can be purchased from Warstock Cache & Carry for $4,628,400 or for $3,480,000 after winning a round of the Adversary Mode Hunting Pack (Remix).

Grand Theft Auto Online

 * Could be won from the Lucky Wheel in the Casino during the GTA Online Bonuses (June 2020 Part 3) event.

General

 * ("supersonic combustion ramjet") is a variant of a ramjet air-breathing jet engine in which combustion takes place in supersonic airflow.
 * The manufacturer choice appears to reflect the real prototype Mach 5 with functioning saw blades, which was built on a 2001 chassis (with Declasse being the GTA iteration of ).
 * The Scramjet's ability to jump like the Ruiner 2000, is a reference to the Mach 5's "Auto Jacks" from the  anime.
 * Additionally, the Scramjet’s rocket engines are possibly a reference to the Mach 4 from the 2008  movie, which sported a single jet engine with an afterburner.
 * The default radio stations for the Scramjet are FlyLo FM, Los Santos Underground Radio and Soulwax FM.

Grand Theft Auto Online

 * Although not available through conventional means, the Scramjet supports window tint, which is also applied on the windshield. This feature is also shared with vehicles like the Kuruma (Armored), the Visione and the Tezeract.
