- "Believe it or not, the Vamos began life in 1960 as a sensible, affordable compact car. But over the course of the decade, something wonderful happened. It moved out of its parents' house and started hanging around with V8's and fastbacks. Its wheelbase lengthened, its grille expanded, and its hood got so long and flat you could spend a whole summer of love on it. These days, it's exactly the kind of bad influence you were looking for."
- ―Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.
The Declasse Vamos is a muscle car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the continuation of the Arena War update, released on February 14, 2019, during the Valentine's Day 2019 event.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Vamos is heavily based on the third generation Chevrolet Nova.
In terms of design, the Vamos follows a similar profile to vehicles like the Buccaneer and the Impaler, having an angled front end and rear section. A trim can be seen running across the sides, with "Declasse" marked on the rear quarters. The car's name can be seen on the rear right side.
The bodywork is painted with the primary color, while the trimmings around the car's front and windows are painted with a secondary color.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Vamos is notorious for its high spin-out, often losing control at higher speeds if not maintained carefully. As a result, it doesn't fare very well when driving through congested traffic. In addition, if the car is launched airborne, the Vamos will often land awkwardly. While the Vamos can be given full suspension upgrades as to negate this effect, its steering is still very sensitive and has bouts of spinning out very easily. The Vamos has a tendency to roll over on its side when executing a tight handbrake turn at high speeds. Durability is good, though repeated impacts can cause drastic issues to the vehicle.
The Vamos is stated to be powered by a 396ci (6.5L) engine, with the model being a single-cam V8.

Trivia
General
- The default radio station for the Vamos is East Los FM.
- "Vamos" is a Spanish/Portuguese word which can be translated for "hurry" or "let's go" in English. This is a reference to an urban legend that the Chevrolet Nova sold poorly in Latin American countries because "no va" translates to "not going" or "not working". In reality sales of the Chevrolet Nova in Latin America were relatively similar to other markets.
- The decription says that the Vamos began life in 1960 as a compact car before it began 'hanging out with V8s'. This is a clear reference to the original Nova's production history, which began production in 1962 as a compact car before getting a Chevy V8-powered model, the Nova SS, in 1963.
- Game files suggest that there was going to be an Arena variant of the Vamos, but was cut from the update. This is also the case with the Cognoscenti.[1]
- The "Sure It's Safe?" livery is based on a similar livery on a black Chevrolet Nova in the movie Death Proof, the livery name is a reference to a line in said movie.
Bugs/Glitches
Grand Theft Auto Online
- The two Hotring Exhausts incorrectly emit fumes at a slightly higher position.
- The Vamos appears to steer to the left, even when not touching the steering wheel of the vehicle. This is caused by an excessively high "toe" angle on the front wheels.[2] This also occurs on the Tulip, and to a far lesser extent, the ZR380.
