The Sabre GT borrows bits and pieces from various American muscle cars. The back and sides resemble a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass, but the grille has a resemblance to a 1970 AMC Rebel, the front is similar to a 1970 Buick GSX (the headlights and the shape of the bumper is also similar to a 1970 Cutlass) and the front bumper's turning signals are similar to a 1968 or 1969 Dodge Coronet. The paintjob seems to look like that of a [[:wp:Ford Mustang Mach 1|Mustang Mach 1]] with some characteristics of a [[:wp:Shelby Mustang|Shelby Mustang]]. The hood on some Sabre GTs resembles that of a 1968 Shelby Mustang. Overall, the look created emulates a 1970 Chevelle SS (and probably explains why it is manufactured by Declasse). | The Sabre GT borrows bits and pieces from various American muscle cars.

The Sabre GT rolls plenty through corners and has a strong tendency to understeer. This is particularly evident during hard braking; the car simply dives forward, sometimes enough to damage the front spoiler. The brakes also have a very heavy front bias, meaning more understeer during braking, but the upside of this is that there's no lock-up of the tyres, meaning more consistent braking. Players may therefore take advantage of the progressive brake controls on the Xbox 360 or PS3 controllers, in order to avoid brake lockups. However, it handles far better than the [[Dukes (car)|Dukes]] or [[Stallion]]. The Sabre GT also proves tolerant to rain-slicked roads, if the driver does his part. Since the suspension allows for a low ground clearance (combined with the body-roll during cornering and braking), it is not uncommon to find nicks and scratches along the undercarriage due to scraping against uneven road surfaces and potholes, even when one attempts to drive conservatively. The front spoiler is prone to scraping when hitting hills, crests and bumps in the road, and may even break the turn signals mounted on either side of the front spoiler. | The Sabre GT rolls plenty through corners and has a strong tendency to understeer.
