In GTA IV the Stallion is easier to steer, but it will occasionally spin out of control, especially in poor weather conditions such as [[rain]]. With good power, handling, and acceleration it is easily one of the top three muscle cars in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. Care should be taken through corners though; despite having good grip, the Stallion is awful at keeping flat through corners. The Stallion can also be quite bumpy on the road.

The GTA Chinatown Wars rendition adopts a combination of performance traits of previous renditions, with high top speed and acceleration and good steering, but very poor grip as a result of excess torque, resulting in the car skidding frequently, even in slight turns. | The GTA Chinatown Wars rendition adopts a combination of performance traits of previous renditions, with high top speed and acceleration and good steering, but very poor grip as a result of excess torque, resulting in the car skidding frequently, even in slight turns. | ||

* The Stallion name, when first adopted in GTA 1, appears to be a play of the Ford Mustang name. Both names refer to equestrian terms for horses that are not fully domesticated. A "[[wp:mustang (horse)|mustang]]" is "a free-roaming feral horse of the North American west that first descended from horses brought to the Americas by the Spanish", while a "[[wp:Stallion|Stallion]]" is simply "a male horse that has not been neutered, castrated, or gelded". | * The Stallion name, when first adopted in GTA 1, appears to be a play of the Ford Mustang name.

* The interior of the GTA IV Stallion features a photograph taped to the dashboard, its purpose being largely unknown due to the poor quality of the photograph texture. The same interior is reused in the [[Rhapsody]], but the photograph is substituted with one depicting what seems to be Wayne and Garth from [[wp:Wayne's World (film)|Wayne's World]]. | * The interior of the GTA IV Stallion features a photograph taped to the dashboard, its purpose being largely unknown due to the poor quality of the photograph texture.

* Under the "[[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars|Chinatown Wars]]" section of the [[Rockstar Games Social Club]] website, members may download a printable papercraft model of a Stallion. The papercraft model features the [[Vapid]] logo on its grille instead of the [[Classique]] logo and nameplate. It bears more of a likeness to a 1970–74 Plymouth Barracuda and 1969–1973 Ford Mustang, while the grille emulates a 1964/1965 Mustang's. | * Under the "[[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars|Chinatown Wars]]" section of the [[Rockstar Games Social Club]] website, members may download a printable papercraft model of a Stallion.
