## Variants & generations

“Baby boomer teen dream repackaged for the mass market generation. A muscle car without the muscle that's the rental vehicle of choice for tourists looking for a slice of 'real' Americana.”
— Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.The Vapid **Dominator** is a two-door muscle car featured in *Grand Theft Auto V* and *Grand Theft Auto Online*.

“Eighth generation muscle car in dire need of some steroids.”
— Arena War description.
The Dominator is a Car made by [[Vapid]]. Thid car is heavily inspired by the Ford Mustang (Fith Generation), seen in the main body and headlight pockets, with the circular headlights, squared grille, and hood being skewed forwards and down. The sharp angular body line on the sides and the fastback design of the rear hatch were taken from the first generation Mustang. The front grille design, rear fascia, and tail lights are derived straight from the Ford Mustang (First Generation) fastback, as is the name Dominator, which was the name of a hood available on early 70's Mustangs. The shape of the hood vent as well as the C-pillar, rear bumper, and the exhausts somewhat resemble those found on the Chevrolet Camaro (Fifth Generation).

The front of the car is predominated by the bulky bumper, featuring a small extender with two inset sections spanning about two-thirds of the car's width. The bumper itself has a central meshed intake that is the same width as the lower inset sections of the extender, holding two circular fog lamps with chrome surroundings. Toward the outer edges of the bumper, there are two vertical intake ducts, intended to direct airflow to the front brakes. The upper area is slanted and features a meshed grille with chrome details around it and a separation on the middle, along with circular headlights with chrome surroundings on the outer sides and "450cui Supercharged" badges on the driver side. The outer portions of the car houses two smaller, square-shaped lights, the upper ones being the turn signals and the lower ones additional main lights. The hood of the car features dual intakes around the front.

The sides of the car have a slightly extended profile on the wheel arches and the skirting area, while the front fenders bear the same badges as the front grille. Halfway up the body, the main body line has a slightly angular shape that is more visible around the front, but is absent past the door area. The doors themselves have rounded mirror shells mounted near the A-pillars and horizontal door handles, both of them body-colored. The cabin area makes use of black trim around the windows and small separations between the door windows and the rear-quarter windows. The rearmost pillars have checkered flag badges on them and the roof has black details running across the vehicle, connected to the front and rear window trims.

The rear of the car features an inset formation with a ducktail spoiler on the trunk area and a black panel on the center, housing three red vertical tail lights on both sides and various badges around the center that displays the car's name and manufacturer. The middle section holds a license plate and two square reverse lights, while the black lower area has two housings for the chrome exhaust tips.

In the enhanced version, the car assumes its own dedicated interior that is widely used on various muscle cars; this interior consist of a black dashboard, where the driver side has a carbon-fiber backing with black/white analog dials, the main dials and fuel gauge being placed above the steering column and four smaller gauges centered on the car. The passenger side has another carbon-fiber section above the glove compartment and the radio set can be seen below the central gauges. A single square air conditioning unit can be seen on the driver side.

The primary color of the car is applied on the bodywork and the interior stitching, while the secondary color is applied on the lower sides, the side stripes between the arches and in a wide stripe starting from the hood intakes and running towards the rear end. The car features twelve-spoke alloy wheels with a concave profile and a black detail on the center, wrapped in low-profile tires.

## Performance

### *Grand Theft Auto V* and *Online*

The Dominator features a high-torque engine that gives it decent acceleration and an above average top speed. It is one of the fastest Muscle cars in a straight line because of its impressive torque, but this is also the Dominator's major flaw, as the raw power the engine supplies makes the car very difficult to control in corners. It has a tendency to engage in bouts of immense oversteer and fishtailing on certain corners. In addition, hitting any guardrail or short wall by the side will more than likely send the Dominator going over it, a very real situation likely to be encountered when driving at high speeds or racing on any highway. This makes the Dominator overall a fairly tricky car to drive. Crash deformation is average, able to take a decent amount of head-on hits at speed before smoking or being disabled.

While its severe handling issues may make it a bad choice for inexperienced drivers, the Dominator can reward those who take the time to learn its driving style by being a very good car for racing, with only a select few amount of other Muscles able to keep up.

The vehicle features a modeled V8 engine with a single bank of cams on either side of the engine. On the top is a large cylindrical air filter wrapped with red filter paper. The engine sound is a very high torque V8 engine, with low-silenced exhausts. The badges indicates that the Dominator is powered by a 450cui (7.4L) Supercharged engine. A 5-speed gearbox and a RWD layout come as standard.
