The '''Tornado''' is a two-door coupe featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], occasionally available as a lowrider. It is also indicated to appear in [[Grand Theft Auto V]].
'''Emmet''' is a character in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series who appears as a minor character in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. He is a [[Emmet's|small time]] arms dealer based in [[Willowfield]], [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] and a member of the [[Grove Street Families|Seville Boulevard Families]]. He is voiced by Eugene Jeter Jr.


== Description ==
==Character history==
=== Design ===
Emmet, presumably born in the poorer neighborhoods in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], became a member of the [[Seville Boulevard Families]] at an unknown time. He opened his gun dealing business, [[Emmet's]], at some point prior to 1962. He begins to sell weapons to the Seville Boulevard Families and their allies, the Grove Street Families and Temple Drive Families, although he begins to lose business to [[Ammu-Nation]], who open opposite his business, partly to the inferior quality of weaponry.
The Tornado in GTA San Andreas assumes the design of a late-1950s coupe, with signature sweeping curves and tailfins. The front half of the car (and most of the front bumper and grille) and rear window resemble those of a [[:wp:Chevrolet Bel Air#1955–1957|1957 Chevrolet Bel Air]], while the windscreen, sides, back side and bottom half of the front bumper resemble a [[:wp:Chevrolet Bel Air#1958|1958 Chevrolet Bel Air]]. The car serves as one of several gang cars for the [[Los Santos Vagos]].


Although the car has appeared in both the first and second trailers for GTA V retaining a similar body design, the car is has only been confirmed to be a "Tornado" on an early-2013 game art titled "The Trunk", where the rear end of a late-1950s car with a "Tornado" badge is illustrated.
He is known to the Johnson family, in particular [[Beverly Johnson]] and three of her sons, [[Sweet|Sean "Sweet" Johnson]], [[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson]] and [[Brian Johnson]], as well as Grove Street Families gangsters [[Big Smoke|Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]] and [[Ryder|Lance "Ryder" Wilson]]. After his return from [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]], Carl suggests visiting Emmet to see what guns he has in stock for their war with the [[Ballas]]. Carl and Smoke go to visit him, with Emmet briefly thinking that Carl was his deceased brother Brian. He passes on his condolences for the recently deceased Beverly and later tells him that she would be proud of him. He then tells the two they can take anything they like. Smoke looks through Emmet's guns but criticises their age, before finding a [[pistol]].

Carl and Smoke then shoot at various glass bottle targets Emmet had lined up, shooting them, before Carl shoots an old [[Tampa|car]] in the fuel cap, causing it to explode.

Emmet continues to leave a pistol for Carl in his yard, which he does not charge for. Ryder later visits Emmet and leaves with an [[AK-47]], which is later used to [[Reuniting the Families|fend off]] the [[LSPD in GTA III Era|police]]. Carl mockingly calls the rifle an antique due to its old age, and at one point the gun even jams.

=== Performance ===
Having only two doors, the Tornado in GTA San Andreas is only designed to carry two occupants, and as a result, is not a good choice for drive-bys because it lacks the four-seats that many other gang cars have. The car does make up for this deficiency with its above average top speed and acceleration (faster than most four-door lowriders), as well as its generally stable cornering even with its long wheelbase that is supposed to hamper the car's maneuverability. Its low ground clearance, however, clearly makes the car unsuitable for rugged off-roading. The Tornado is also durable and can take a good bit of gunfire before exploding. Although it does not appear to have a visible fuel cap, it will explode if the back license plate is shot.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The default radio station in the Tornado is [[Radio Los Santos]] in GTA San Andreas.
*Emmet speaks in a heavy Southern accent, implying he was born, or at least his parents, are from the Southern United States.  
* The Tornado is the lowest vehicle in GTA San Andreas and the only lowrider and/or car capable of real dragging. Dropping its rear end on the ground produces a continuous stream of sparks like a [[:wp:Minitruck modifications|minitruck]]. This trick can be executed through the aid of hydraulics by nose up with right analog stick (PS2), or the #8 button or, by pressing H, then #2 button (PC).
*Emmet's comment "But remember this, you didn't get 'em from me" suggests that he does not hold a license to sell guns, a likely reason for his aging weapons stock. However, even the clerk in Ammu-Nation says this when you buy a weapon. It's likely a joke, or just hinting at the player's reckless use of said firearms.
[[File:Tornado-GTAIV-render.png|thumb|200px|right|The aforementioned picture of a Tornado-like car from GTA IV.]]
*[[Ryder]] mentions Emmet during the mission [[Home Invasion]], criticizing the age of his weapons in comparison to those he and Carl plan to steal from [[Colonel Fuhrberger]].
* In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], a picture depicting a car very similar to the Tornado is hung at the rearmost corridor of [[The Triangle Club]], featuring double headlights (much like a 1958 Bel Air), and wheels with plastic rims used in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]]. The render appears to be recycled from GTA San Andreas, appearing similar to various vehicle renders seen at the [[Driving School]] and [[Otto's Autos]] dating back to the development phase of GTA San Andreas.
*Ryder also mentions Emmet during the mission [[Reuniting the Families]], having purchased a gun for use in emergencies. Carl then uses the gun to help fend off the police. The gun later jams but Carl, Ryder, Smoke and Sweet manage to escape.

Emmet is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. He is a small time arms dealer based in Willowfield, Los Santos and a member of the Seville Boulevard Families. He is voiced by Eugene Jeter Jr.

Character history

Emmet, presumably born in the poorer neighborhoods in Los Santos, became a member of the Seville Boulevard Families at an unknown time. He opened his gun dealing business, Emmet's, at some point prior to 1962. He begins to sell weapons to the Seville Boulevard Families and their allies, the Grove Street Families and Temple Drive Families, although he begins to lose business to Ammu-Nation, who open opposite his business, partly to the inferior quality of weaponry.

He is known to the Johnson family, in particular Beverly Johnson and three of her sons, Sean "Sweet" Johnson, Carl "CJ" Johnson and Brian Johnson, as well as Grove Street Families gangsters Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris and Lance "Ryder" Wilson. After his return from Liberty City, Carl suggests visiting Emmet to see what guns he has in stock for their war with the Ballas. Carl and Smoke go to visit him, with Emmet briefly thinking that Carl was his deceased brother Brian. He passes on his condolences for the recently deceased Beverly and later tells him that she would be proud of him. He then tells the two they can take anything they like. Smoke looks through Emmet's guns but criticises their age, before finding a pistol.

Carl and Smoke then shoot at various glass bottle targets Emmet had lined up, shooting them, before Carl shoots an old car in the fuel cap, causing it to explode. Emmet, happy with their appearance, reminds them not to say where they got the guns from, suggesting he does not hold a licence to sell guns. Emmet continues to leave a pistol for Carl in his yard, which he does not charge for. Ryder later visits Emmet and leaves with an AK-47, which is later used to fend off the police. Carl mockingly calls the rifle an antique due to its old age, and at one point the gun even jams.
