The '''Stallion''' is a recurring two-door coupe and convertible that has appeared in eight of the [[Grand Theft Auto]] games.
'''Little Weasel''' is a character in the [[3D Universe]] who appears as a minor character in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. He is shown to be a newly converted member of the [[Ballas]] gang.


== Description ==
==Character history==
The Stallion was first featured in GTA 1, in which it appears as a hardtop design and is one of the faster cars on the road; however, it didn't appear again in the series until GTA III. In true muscle car fashion, it has V8 power channeled to the rear wheels.
Little Weasel, presumably born in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], at an unknown time became a member of the [[Ballas]] gang and rose through the gang, knowing 'Front Yard royalty' such as [[Kane]]; in [[1992]] he had also begun to work with corrupt [[C.R.A.S.H.]] officer [[Frank Tenpenny]] and presumably his partner [[Eddie Pulaski|Edward "Eddie" Pulaski]], and begun residing in the [[Glen Park]] neighbourhood of Los Santos. The [[Grove Street Families]], the arch rivals of the Ballas, had decided to extend their influence in the city and, through the [[Gang Warfare in GTA San Andreas|work]] of coleader and protagonist [[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson]] on orders from his brother and leader [[Sweet|Sean "Sweet" Johnson]], the neighbourhood [[Doberman|became controlled]] by the Grove Street Families. Little Weasel, in an attempt to keep the neighbourhood a Ballas territory and escape from his home, ran out to confront Carl, shouting that Tenpenny had set him up, but was killed. He was later buried at the Los Santos [[Vinewood Cemetery|cemetery]] in [[Vinewood in GTA III Era|Vinewood]], although his [[Los Sepulcros|funeral]] was ambushed by Carl and Sweet, who killed Kane.
 
In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, a variant of the Stallion is featured in the game. Called [[Diablo Stallion]], it is the primary gang car used by the [[Diablos]]. In GTA San Andreas, the regular Stallion is a gang car for the [[San Fierro Rifa]].
 
=== Design ===
==== GTA 1 ====
[[File:Stallion-GTA1.png|thumb|180px|A Stallion in [[Grand Theft Auto 1|GTA 1]].]]
 
In GTA 1, the car resembles a 1968-1970 [[wp:Pontiac GTO|Pontiac GTO]], but presumably takes its name from the [[wp:Ford Mustang|Ford Mustang]] (see Stallion-Mustang comparison in [[#Trivia]]).
 
==== GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories ====
[[GTA III Era|Between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories]], it appears to be based loosely on a [[wp:First-generation Ford Mustang|1964-68 Ford Mustang]], mostly due its small size and name since there are no other remarkable similarities; but the grille loosely resembles a 1969/1970 [[wp:Oldsmobile Cutlass#Third Generation - 1968-1972|Oldsmobile Cutlass]] (also the [[:wp:Oldsmobile 442|Oldsmobile 442]]) (creating a look similar to an [[:wp:Oldsmobile Omega|Oldsmobile Omega]]), and the back bumper looks loosely based on those of 1970-1972 Cutlasses (but this is less obvious in the GTA SA rendition). The hood carries on the resemblance of the 1968-1970 Pontiac GTO. The prominent Oldsmobile cues give the Stallion a [[Sabre|proto-Sabre-like]] design, until it was more accurately revised for the GTA IV version.

</gallery>
 
==== GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars ====
In GTA IV, the car is manufactured by [[Classique]] and resembles a much bigger muscle car rather than a pony car. The Stallion's headlight and taillight positions closely resemble a [[wp:Plymouth Barracuda|Plymouth Barracuda]]. It does also resemble the 1969-1973 Mustang due to the single headlight setup. The chassis is more like 1968-69 Oldsmobile Cutlasses but the sides bear the aggressive, heavily creased, lines of 1970-1972 Oldsmobile Cutlasses; the rear end looks like that of a 1971 or 1972 Cutlass (the "STALLION" marque is rendered above the bumper much like the "OLDSMOBILE" marque) with extra lights. The headlights are surrounded by headlight bezels similar to the ones on a 1968 Cutlass. Its engine is a 347ci (5.6 litre) V8. It is similar in appearance to the [[Clover]] from GTA San Andreas.

=== Performance ===
==== GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories ====
Its handling varies in each game. In [[Grand Theft Auto III]], the Stallion has reasonable acceleration, though its rear wheel drive layout and huge amount of low-down torque meant it was easy to perform professional-grade drifts around corners, doughnuts and wheel-spin when taking off. The GTA Vice City version is altogether slower than the GTA III rendition; however, its tail-happy traits remained. In GTA San Andreas, it handles much like the [[Clover]] and [[Sabre]] but fishtailing rarely occurs. The vehicle also appears in GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories, where they have similar attributes to the GTA III and GTA Vice City renditions, respectively.
 
==== GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars ====
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. Its top speed is 145 km/h (90 mph).
 
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.

In [[TransFender]]:
* Color
* Hood Vents (two types)

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* 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".
*Little Weasel does not have a unique character model, sharing his design with one of the normal [[Ballas]] gangster model designs.
* A version of the Ford Mustang called the Stallion Special was sold exclusively by Mainway Ford in 1967.
*Text during the mission [[Doberman]] refers to Little Weasel as a 'grass', although the meaning of this is not revealed.
* The Stallion is the longest surviving car in the GTA series, and also one of the most frequently featured civilian cars in the series, appearing in 8 out of 14 GTA games, the exceptions being the two [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969|GTA London]] [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1961|expansion packs]], [[Grand Theft Auto 2|GTA 2]] and [[Grand Theft Auto Advance|GTA Advance]], although the [[Diablo Stallion|Diablo "Stallion"]]  appears in the latter.
* The Stallion is one of the earliest in-game cars to be featured on a box art of a Grand Theft Auto game, appearing in several versions of GTA III cover arts.
* 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]].
[[File:Stallion-GTACW-papercraft.jpg|275px|thumb|right|A rendering of the papercraft Stallion from the GTA Chinatown Wars section of the [[Rockstar Games Social Club]].]]
* 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.
* The Stallion plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
** [[K-DST]] in GTA San Andreas.
** [[Liberty Rock Radio 97.8]] in GTA IV.
*In GTA 1, the Stallion's base export value tops up at $600 if the car is delivered in mint condition. In GTA IV, the car may be sold at [[S&M Auto Sales]] for a maximum of $2,200 (in perfect condition) after completion of [[Stevie's Car Thefts]].

Little Weasel is a character in the 3D Universe who appears as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. He is shown to be a newly converted member of the Ballas gang.

Character history

Little Weasel, presumably born in Los Santos, at an unknown time became a member of the Ballas gang and rose through the gang, knowing 'Front Yard royalty' such as Kane; in 1992 he had also begun to work with corrupt C.R.A.S.H. officer Frank Tenpenny and presumably his partner Edward "Eddie" Pulaski, and begun residing in the Glen Park neighbourhood of Los Santos. The Grove Street Families, the arch rivals of the Ballas, had decided to extend their influence in the city and, through the work of coleader and protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson on orders from his brother and leader Sean "Sweet" Johnson, the neighbourhood became controlled by the Grove Street Families. Little Weasel, in an attempt to keep the neighbourhood a Ballas territory and escape from his home, ran out to confront Carl, shouting that Tenpenny had set him up, but was killed. He was later buried at the Los Santos cemetery in Vinewood, although his funeral was ambushed by Carl and Sweet, who killed Kane.

Trivia

  • Little Weasel does not have a unique character model, sharing his design with one of the normal Ballas gangster model designs.
  • Text during the mission Doberman refers to Little Weasel as a 'grass', although the meaning of this is not revealed.
