Dominator ASP

"From the all-American line of Dominators comes the middle generation ASP. Too contemporary to be a classic, too old-school to be cutting edge, this is the kind of car you forget all about until it punches you square in the junk. Now pony up."

- Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.

The Vapid Dominator ASP is a muscle car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the continuation of the Los Santos Tuners update.

The vehicle is mainly based on the, with the bonnet and taillights inspired by the. The headlights as well as the lower grille are inspired by the ones found on the.

The vehicle, being a predecessor of the Dominator, shares a similar body shape and two-door layout, albeit with a slightly smaller size. The front of the car features an extender/splitter at the bottom and a wide mesh intake spanning almost the entire width of the car, having various separations on it. On the upper area, the car has a small grille with the Vapid logo on the center, while the outer sides have black housings with square-shaped units, circular units and amber indicators on the edges. The hood is very elevated and opens to reveal the engine bay and a strut brace, as well as badges on the cam covers displaying the car's name, the manufacturer logo and the engine specifications.

On the sides, the car has flared fender arches and concave shapes above the side skirts, while the front fenders have narrow exit vents. Large inset areas can be seen passing through the doors, which start fron the exit vents and reach almost towards the rear arches, while small painted door handles can be seen on the upper body lines. On the cabin area, the car features black trim around the windows, black separations for the rear-quarter windows and black mirror shells near the A-pillars, while the rearmost pillars have racing flag badges.

The rear of the car has a small trunk lid with a tall spoiler added by default, along with a dedicated section for the license plate and additional badges beside it. The outer sections house rectangular tail lights, consisting of upper main lights, middle brake lights and lower dual turn/reverse lights. The bumper has a trapezium-shaped section spanning about two thirds of the car's width and embossed lettering displaying the car's name, while a single exhaust pipe can be seen on the driver side, below the bumper.

The vehicle shares the same interior and dial set with the Sultan RS, also having the additional gauges above the radio set. The steering wheel also bears the Vapid logo on the horn cap.

The car's bodywork and the stitches of the interior are painted in a primary color, while the secondary one seems to be only applied on any of the secondary-colored options selected in mod shops. A trim color is also available for the interior, as well as a dial color. The car uses five-spoke concave rims, wrapped in medium-profile tires.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Dominator ASP has great acceleration and top speed, rivalling some vehicles in the Sports class. It additionally has excellent grip, as it does not lose traction upon hard cornering at high speeds and spin out like other muscle cars in its class.

Despite having the best cornering ability of the entire muscle class, brakes seem to be just slightly below average. It takes a longer distance to stop the vehicle in a straight line, and braking while turning can sometimes lock up the brakes and cause the vehicle to understeer. It is possible to mitigate this by releasing the brakes and giving the accelerator a few jabs to straighten out.

Crash deformation is above average, as it does not lose its structural integrity upon small impacts and will continue to run even after 2-5 high speed impacts.

The vehicle features a modeled V8 engine with a single bank of cams on either side of the engine. On the top end is a large supercharger with an air filter on the intake, wrapped with red filter paper. The engine sound seems to be a mix between the traditional muscle car sound from the Dominator, the Vigero and the Ruiner, and the modern one from the the Imperator, the Tulip and the Gauntlet Classic. The badges indicates that the Dominator ASP is powered by a 450cui (7.4L) supercharged engine. A 5-speed gearbox and a RWD layout come as standard.
