The Buffalo in GTA San Andreas appears to based on the [[wp:Third-generation Chevrolet Camaro|third-generation Chevrolet Camaro]]. Even though it is clearly based on a 1982-1992 Camaro, it has been changed quite a bit. The headlights are circular, coincidentally similar to a 1994-2001 [[wp:Honda Integra|Acura Integra]]; a C-pillar has been added, bearing somewhat of a resemblance to [[wp:Dodge Daytona|1984–1993 Dodge Daytonas]]; and the shape taillights look closer to some [[wp:third-generation Pontiac Firebird|third-generation Pontiac Firebird]] models. The Buffalo also has a ram air hood.the buffalo does handle well on dirt or sand. | The Buffalo in GTA San Andreas appears to based on the [[wp:Third-generation Chevrolet Camaro|third-generation Chevrolet Camaro]].

The law enforcement model is taken from the base model of the Police Package Charger as it is powered by a V6 engine, similar to the [[Police Patrol]]. Both variants have a stock body kit and plain black wheels with chrome centercaps. The FIB variant features 2 sets of emergency lights mounted on its grill and rear windshield whereas the LCPD variant has a front pushbar and V-lightbar on its roof, similar to its [[Police Patrol|Declasse]] and [[Police Cruiser|Vapid]] counterparts. | The law enforcement model is taken from the base model of the Police Package Charger as it is powered by a V6 engine, similar to the [[Police Patrol]].

In The Ballad of Gay Tony, the civilian model of the Buffalo is based on the SRT-8 version of the Charger, and features a performance body kit that includes larger exhaust ports, sport rims, bumpers, and side skirts, however the Buffalo lacks the rear spoiler and hood scoop found on the SRT-8 model. | |||

== Performance == | |||
=== GTA San Andreas === | |||
In GTA San Andreas, the car is front-engine, rear-drive, and sports a V8 engine that delivers great acceleration and speed, but comes at the cost of limited control at top speeds and unstable cornering. It is also a two-door vehicle, making it unsuitable for drive-bys as the player can only have one recruit to go along with him. | |||
=== The Ballad of Gay Tony === | |||
The Buffalo's raw performance in TBOGT is considerably good for a four-door sedan, courtesy of its high displacement supercharged V8 engine, and may even be superior to its law enforcement variants. As expected, the car is capable of good acceleration and an excellent top speed, but is also lighter than the law enforcement Buffalo's, allowing the car to corner and brake better. While the car is still prone to burnouts after certain moments of cornering, the car grip on the road is equally excellent. Another minor quirk is its tendency to ignite unburnt fuel at the exhaust pipes during throttle liftoff after high revving. | |||
Being a front-engined car, the Buffalo is vulnerable to frontal damage. | |||
