The Cheetah's acceleration and speed are good compared to other sports cars in the game, and handling and braking are far superior to all others. Due to its low suspension, it hugs the road and is not prone to rolling over or spinning out of control when cornering at high speeds. However, GTA III's Cheetah has stiffer suspensions than those of the [[Banshee]], [[Stinger]] and [[Infernus]], making its incapable of handling bumps, and curbs without compromising stability. The Cheetah has a top speed of 213 km/h in GTA San Andreas. | The Cheetah's acceleration and speed are good compared to other sports cars in the game, and handling and braking are far superior to all others.
