[[ | [[File:Vortex-GTASA-CutThroatBusiness.jpg|thumb|225px|The two special Vortex's from "[[Cut Throat Business]]"; the white Vortex is driven by the player and [[Madd Dogg]], while the black-and-white Vortex is driven by [[OG Loc]].]] | ||
Three Vortexs' with unique color schemes can be found during "[[Cut Throat Business]]". Two of them, which are used by [[Carl Johnson|the player]] and [[Madd Dogg]] to chase [[OG Loc]], are all-white, while the third Vortex driven by OG Loc is black with a white stripe. The player can only store any Vortex's in a garage by failing the mission, as the chase eventually switches to a [[Kart]] chase at a pier, forcing the player to abandon the hovercrafts. In addition, while it is possible for the player to use any of the hovercrafts to chase OG Loc while he is on a Kart, the player will ultimately lose the vehicle upon completion of the mission. | Three Vortexs' with unique color schemes can be found during "[[Cut Throat Business]]".
