 ==GTA San Andreas==
 === Design ===
-The Tampa in GTA San Andreas resembles a 1965-1969 [[:wp:Chevrolet Corvair|Chevrolet Corvair]], except it isn't rear-engined and it has a grille. It has plain steel wheels, and mismatched paint on multiple body panels, indicating it was put together with spare parts from a junkyard. It also appears to be over-scaled and in comparison to some under-scaled cars, as it looks much larger than an old compact. The Tampa is one of the gang cars used by the [[Da Nang Boys]], a gang based in [[San Fierro]].

 === Performance ===
 The Tampa's performance is, at best, below average, with sluggish acceleration and mediocre top speed, as well as heavy steering and unstable cornering.
-=== Modifications ===

 === Performance ===
 The Tampa's performance, which is identical in both TLAD and TBOGT, is considerably good in terms of raw power; the car's acceleration is excellent and the car can reach a considerably high top speed of 155 km/h (96 mph). Cornering is less predictable, however, as the car can spin out in sharper turns or burn out, if the player applies gas to the car, as the car generates excess torque. Braking is considerably impressive considering the car's weight, providing the car with shorter stopping distances.
+== Prominent appearances ==
+* In "[[Nines and AKs]]" in GTA San Andreas, the player goes to do some target practice, and has to eventually shoot at a Tampa's gas tank using a [[Pistol|pistol]], making it explode, and passing the mission. It has a [[Custom Vehicle License Plates|unique license plate]] reading "FELTCH".
+* During "[[Yay Ka-Boom-Boom]]" in GTA San Andreas, the player has to destroy the [[Loco Syndicate|Loco Syndicate's]] cocaine factory in [[Doherty]] with a rigged Tampa. The rigged Tampa has a unique numberplate reading "TIMEBOMB".
+* Another modified Tampa is used in "[[Puncture Wounds]]" in GTA San Andreas, when it is equipped with stinger traps to burst the tires of the [[Stratum|vehicle]] needed in the mission and bears a license plate which numerously reads "LION CUM"; if the Tampa is saved in a garage, it will lose the ability to drop stingers, as well as its unique plates.
 == Trivia ==
-* In the mission [[Nines and AKs]], the player goes to do some target practice, and has to eventually shoot at a Tampa's gas tank using a [[Pistol|pistol]], making it explode, and passing the mission. It has a unique numberplate reading "FELTCH".
+* The Tampa in The Ballad of Gay Tony shares the same interior as the [[Sabre GT]].
-* Even though the car can be upgraded to an excellent state at a mod shop, it will always have crooked license plates. Adding a 5-shot of nitrous, the bottle will magically stick halfway through the back glass window. Also, any paint colors obtained in Transfender will be lost in a [[Pay 'n' Spray]].
-* During the mission [[Yay Ka-Boom-Boom]], the player has to destroy the [[Loco Syndicate|Loco Syndicate's]] cocaine factory in [[Doherty]] with a rigged Tampa. The rigged Tampa has a unique numberplate reading "TIMEBOMB". Another modded Tampa is used in the mission [[Puncture Wounds]]. The Tampa is modded with stinger traps to burst the tires of the [[Stratum|vehicle]] needed in the mission. Although, if the Tampa is saved in a garage, it will lose the ability to drop stingers. This Tampa has a unique numberplate which humerously reads "LION CUM".
 * The Tampa plays the following radio stations by default when entered :
 ** [[K-JAH West]] in GTA San Andreas.
 ** [[Liberty Rock Radio 97.8]] in The Lost and Damned.
 ** [[San Juan Sounds]] in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
-* DLCs' rendition has the same interior like this used in [[Sabre GT]].
-* Upside down after rolling a Tampa, the suspension is surprisingly realistic to the Chevy Corvair, having extreme camber angles both front and rear suspension.
