Performance
Grand Theft Auto V
The Redwood Gauntlet receives massive improvements in performance when compared to the standard Gauntlet. The vehicle sports a higher performance engine which not only revs higher, but also revs much faster. The engine sound has been changed from the Sabre Turbo's sound to the Massacro's sound, and even still, it revs faster than the Massacro at engine redline.
The vehicle has increased acceleration due to the engine upgrade, and traction has been improved in order to counteract the weight and force of the acceleration. The top speed is much higher, where it statistically vies with high-end sports cars such as the Carbonizzare and Rapid GT. Its brakes are slightly improved, however not enough to support the increased engine power. The car's handling bears no significant changes.
The engine model remains the same, where is shares the model of a typical V8 with a large cylindrical air filter mounted on the engine block. The engine sound is now comparable to a typical high-revving engine. As with the other stock cars featured with the Redwood Gauntlet, its mass was also reduced compared to its base model.
