The Bullet's shape closely resembles a first-generation [[:wp:Ford GT|Ford GT]], making the car an anachronism; the GT wasn't introduced until 2005, 13 years after the game's events in [[1992]]. The [[:wp:Ford GT40|Ford GT40]] was used as a racecar in the 1960s, but bears less of a resemblance to the Bullet. In a [[Content Changes in GTA San Andreas|pre-release]] screenshot of GTA San Andreas, the Bullet is seen [http://www.gtasanandreas.net/screenshots/gallery.php?image=329 with a double stripe and a different hood], identical to that on the real Ford GT; the beta model is also portrayed in some renderings inside of [[Otto's Autos]], a showroom in [[Downtown San Fierro]]. The change to a single stripe in the actual game may have been aimed at avoiding a blatantly obvious design influence from a car that wouldn't exist for another 13 years. Also, the Bullet uses a conventional door design, unlike the real life Ford GT's "aircraft door" design. | |||
; GTA V | |||
In GTA V, the [[Vapid]] Bullet still resembles the Ford GT, borrowing design cues like the waterfall hood scoop and body shape. The louvers over the rear windscreen are more similar to those featured on the [[wp:Lamborghini Miura|Lamborghini Miura]], while the plush interior, which features sport bucket seats finished in tan leather, is derived from the [[Grotti]] [[Turismo]]. | |||

Acceleration, speed, handling, and braking are among the best in the game. The only real sacrifice is susceptibility to intense damage upon impact, especially at the excessive speeds the vehicle is capable of reaching. The vehicle is mid-engine, and has a rear-drive layout. A closer look at the engine shows six injector trumpets, suggesting that the engine is actually a V6 instead of a V8. The Bullet's in-game engine sound is shared with the [[Oceanic]], [[Glendale]] (both variants), and the [[Tornado]]. | Acceleration, speed, handling, and braking are among the best in the game.

In GTA V, the Bullet's top speed | In GTA V, the Bullet is powered by a 6.0 L 550 hp naturally aspirated, high-revving V8 engine; this is contrary to the real-life Ford GT's 5.4 L supercharged, low-revving V8. The Bullet has a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h), much like the real-life Ford GT. The Bullet has a neutral handling set up and is extremely balanced; plus, it is also fairly durable compared with other super cars, especially the fragile [[Comet]]. In contrary to all these high quality aspects, the high-revving can sometimes cause the car to lose control when turning or beginning to drive which usually can become a disadvantage in events such as racing. To prevent this, the car is normally driven with caution in mind. | ||
