Performance
In GTA III, the Securicar is surprisingly fast, but it can easly tip over if turning even at moderate speeds. It is a rare vehicle (despite making its appearance as three Securicars during a bank robbery cutscene), and it is found in Staunton Island only. It does not have a logo, until GTA LCS, circa 1998.
In GTA VC, the Securicar, again makes its appearance, now even more harder to find. On rare occasions, it can be found in Ocean Docks during daytime. its handling remains the same, as well in GTA VCS.
In GTA IV, the Securicar makes its appearance once more, now with its newer and better design. its handling and acceleration has been greatly changed and now it will no longer tip over when turning through cornes. it also has no problem dealing with gunshots and vehicle damage, but it is not explosion or fire proof, however. Other than that, it is best suited for heavy gunfire.
