The Willard Faction Custom is a two-door muscle car added to Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the GTA Online: Lowriders Update.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Faction Custom is a lowrider variant of the Faction, where it brings only minor changes by default.
The vehicle retains its original design from the standard model, retaining the front and rear fascias. However, the car has received only minor changes, where the interior has a set of detailed foot pedals, and a pair of speakers can be seen on the back. Its underside is fitted with a paintable frame and has a visible driveshaft, a different exhaust setup (dual pipes instead of a single Y-split pipe), and visible hydraulic bars connected to the suspension.
Again, the vehicle may spawn with the solid T-top, a glass T-top or no panels, which can be changed at Benny's Original Motor Works. The vehicle has the same color distribution as the normal Faction, although the lower frames are painted in primary, and both the interior and dial color can be changed. The vehicle also gets custom "Big Worm" lowrider wheels, along with white-wall tires.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Faction Custom has almost identical performance to its stock counterpart, with the exception being a notable improvement on how the vehicle handles imperfections in the road. As such, upgrading the Faction into a Custom is highly suggested for anyone planning on using the car for races. This also makes things such as curbs and railroad tracks significantly less hazardous to drive over.
The engine sound is rather unique, in that it shares elements (such as the backfiring and high-revving stages) from the Dukes, but also has the low-revving/idle sound similar to that of the Blade and Buccaneer. Purchasing a big bore exhaust will make the engine sound very similar to the Marshall's. Lke the Marshall, the Faction Custom has very high gear ratios and is particularly highly geared for a car of its type, much like the real life Buick Regal. The fact that the car shares the same default dials and gauges as the Marshall also supports this cross over of performance aspects, engine sound and design.

Trivia[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Like most other custom variants, this vehicle has negative camber angle wheels. This effect will not be present if it is stored inside a player's garage however, causing the front wheels to partially clip into the vehicle's body.
- The Faction Custom, as well as its standard civilian and donk variants, spawns with a uniquely high-pitched horn, similarly to those found on motorcycles.
- When fitted with upgraded hydraulics, the Faction Custom is technically capable of dragging, similar to the Buccaneer Custom and the 3D Universe Tornado. However, this is not advised, as the Faction's hypersensitive collision detection means that the slightest imperfection in the road could potentially spin the player out, often violently.
- The Faction Custom has an unused LSPD livery[1] and an unused police lightbar modification.[2]
