Unlike the real-life Viper's V10 engine, the HD Universe Banshee has a 300ci (4.91 Liter) twin-turbocharged V8, according to the [[Autoeroticar.com|AutoEroticar]] website, and can be seen in-game if the player inflicts enough damage to cause the hood to come off. | ||
Banshees in GTA IV are present as convertibles with rollbars or hardtops, and may optionally feature more recessed hood vents. Similar to its real-life counterpart, the Banshee bears its own logo, resembling a screaming mouth with fangs (much like the real logo of the Dodge Viper) on the side panels, steering wheel, and upholstery. The standard Bravado logo is used on the front and rear of the car. The Banshee can be seen with an allover paintjob, or with a racing stripe down the middle. Inside, the typical cozy Dodge Viper interior is found with black leather-clad sport seats sporting the Bravado logo. | Banshees in GTA IV are present as convertibles with rollbars or hardtops, and may optionally feature more recessed hood vents.

Being a front-engine, rear-wheel drive, with a 10-cylinder engine, the Banshee between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories is one of the speediest sports cars but suffers from poor cornering due to its rear wheel drive, making it prone to fishtailing and spinouts in sharp turns (including handbrake turns). Examination of game data for GTA III to GTA San Andreas reveal the vehicle's performance stats remain unchanged, with a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h), a weight of 2, | Being a front-engine, rear-wheel drive, with a 10-cylinder engine, the Banshee between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories is one of the speediest sports cars but suffers from poor cornering due to its rear wheel drive, making it prone to fishtailing and spinouts in sharp turns (including handbrake turns). Examination of game data for GTA III to GTA San Andreas reveal the vehicle's performance stats remain unchanged, with a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h), a weight of 2,240 lbs (1,400 kg), a 5-speed transmission, an acceleration of 10.7 ft/s (3.3 m/s), and all-wheel brakes; these stats could be shared with the Banshee in GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories. The Banshee's speed in GTA Advance is significantly high, nearly matching that of the [[Police Car|police car]], but has a marginally low [[crusher]] value of $448. | ||
These traits remained unchanged until GTA IV, when its performance received significant tweaks. | These traits remained unchanged until GTA IV, when its performance received significant tweaks. | ||
