The Imponte Phoenix is a 2-door muscle car that appears in GTA 5 based on the Pontiac FireBird. The Imponte Phoenix is one of the muscle cars that can be highly benefited by the performance customizations, as its acceleration can be topped with the right modifications. Once all of the customization options have been unlocked in Grand Theft Auto 5 for Los Santos customs, it has an option for a high level spoiler, although being much higher than other cars spoilers. It is possibly a reference to Richard Petty’s 1970 Plymouth Superbird.
in GTA 5, the Imponte Phoenix is powered by a high output V8 engine, and it has decent acceleration and a high top speed. The car also has excellent torque and can climb steep hills with ease. Unfortunately, it suffers from bad handling. The Phoenix is poor weight distribution and light rear end leads to severe oversteer, especially at high speeds. Its back end is prone to fishtailing, and crashes and spin outs may occur more often than usual in the Phoenix. The durability is below-par, and it is prone to frame loss (bumpers, fenders, hoods, etc.) in event of a rollover accident.
