==Overview==
==Overview==
The '''Sabre''' is a muscle car that has been in the Grand Theft Auto series since [[GTA Vice City]]. It closely resembles a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass, except the Sabre has a larger trunk, and the front end isn't pointed, with the grille split, like on the Oldsmobile. It can be found in all the cities (mainly [[Downtown Los Santos]]), some towns, and on the highways connecting them.  Being a 2 door makes it a bad choice for drive-bys or carrying an entourage.

It closely resembles a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass, except the Sabre has a larger trunk, and the front end isn't pointed, with the grille split, like on the Oldsmobile. In [[Vice City]], it is fairly widespread, being predominant on the main (west) island, while in [[San Andreas]], it can be found in all 3 cities (mainly [[Downtown Los Santos]]), some towns, and on the highways connecting them.  Being a 2 door makes it a bad choice for drive-bys or carrying an entourage.


==Performance==
==Performance==
Acceleration and speed are very impressive.  The Sabre's handling is arguably among the best in [[San Andreas]], and the brakes are excellent.  However, being the rear-drive muscle car it is, this vehicle's drivetrain is overpowered, leading to occasional burnout and fishtailing, and a general decline in performance in wet weather. Its frame is sturdy and can take a fair amount of damage, but its speed and heavy construction can be deadly, given the right circumstances.

Its frame is sturdy and can take a fair amount of damage, but its intense power and heavy construction mean the car is able to survive very few high-speed collisions.
