Being a front-engine, rear-wheel drive, with a 10-cylinder engine, the Banshee between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories is one of the speediest sports cars but suffers from poor cornering due to its rear wheel drive, making it prone to fishtailing and spinouts in sharp turns (including handbrake turns). Examination of game data for GTA III to GTA San Andreas reveal the vehicle's performance stats remain unchanged, with a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h), a weight of 3,087 lbs (1,400 kg), a 5-speed transmission, an acceleration of 10.7 ft/s (3.3 m/s), and all-wheel brakes; these stats could be shared with the Banshee in GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories. The Banshee's speed in GTA Advance is significantly high, nearly matching that of the [[Police Car|police car]], but has a marginally low [[crusher]] value of $448. | Being a front-engine, rear-wheel drive, with a 10-cylinder engine, the Banshee between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories is one of the speediest sports cars but suffers from poor cornering due to its rear wheel drive, making it prone to fishtailing and spinouts in sharp turns (including handbrake turns).

Upon closer inspection of the GTA III rendition of the Banshee's engine, a V12 engine can actually be seen instead of a 10-cylinder. | |||
These traits remained unchanged until GTA IV, when its performance received significant tweaks. | These traits remained unchanged until GTA IV, when its performance received significant tweaks. | ||

The Banshee in GTA IV is powered by a 300ci | The Banshee in GTA IV is powered by a 300ci (4.9 L) twin-turbocharged V8 mated with a 5-speed gearbox along with a RWD configuration. The GTA IV Banshee is the third fastest-accelerating sports car and one of the fastest overall with a top speed of 206 mph (331 km/h). | ||
Handling is superb, with a slight hint of oversteer thanks to its low weight that complements the very torque-y engine. The suspension is firm and low, often leaving the Banshee smashing its body panels into low-laying objects, like curbs, and usually causes the Banshee to hop about on uneven streets at higher speeds. Braking is very good; the Banshee outbrakes every other vehicle in the game, and ABS is standard on all models. Crash deformation is acceptable. However, due to its front-mounted engine, it is much less resistant to frontal damage than rear and/or mid-engined sports cars such as the [[Comet]] and [[Infernus]]. | Handling is superb, with a slight hint of oversteer thanks to its low weight that complements the very torque-y engine.

The GTA V rendition of the Banshee performs virtually identical to the GTA IV rendition, although the [[Turismo R]] now outbrakes the Banshee. Also, the Banshee's top speed without special abilities or upgrades is seemingly low for some reason, capping at 140 mph (225 km/h). | The GTA V rendition of the Banshee performs virtually identical to the GTA IV rendition, although the [[Turismo R]] now outbrakes the Banshee.

According to [[legendarymotorsport.net]], the Banshee now has an 8.4 L 400 hp engine (may still be a V8 like in GTA IV). | ||
