The Jester is a Japanese spotrscar based off the Toyota Celica. Like its real life counterpart, this car is sporty despite being front-wheel-drive. First used in GTASA.
 
The '''Stallion''' is a recurring two-door coupe and convertible that has appeared in the following games:
 
* [[Grand Theft Auto 1]]
* [[Grand Theft Auto III]]
* [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]
* [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]
* [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]
* [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]
* [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]
* [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]
 
== Description ==
The Stallion was first featured in GTA 1, in which it appears as a hardtop design and is one of the faster cars on the road; however, it didn't appear again in the series until GTA III. In true muscle car fashion, it has V8 power channeled to the rear wheels.
 
In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, a variant of the Stallion is featured in the game. Called [[Diablo Stallion]], it is the primary gang car used by the [[Diablos]]. In GTA San Andreas, it is also used as a gang car, but this time used by the [[San Fierro Rifa]].
 
=== Design ===
In GTA I, it resembles a 1969 [[wp:Pontiac GTO|Pontiac GTO]].
 
In the [[GTA III era]], it appears to be based loosely on a [[wp:First-generation Ford Mustang|1964-68 Ford Mustang]], but the grille loosely resembles a 1969/1970 [[wp:Oldsmobile Cutlass#Third Generation - 1968-1972|Cutlass]] (also the [[:wp:Oldsmobile 442|Oldsmobile 442]]) (creating a look similar to an [[:wp:Oldsmobile Omega|Oldsmobile Omega]]), and the back bumper looks loosely based on those of '70-'72 Cutlasses (but this is less obvious in the GTA SA rendition).
 
In GTA IV, it's manufactured by [[Classique]] and resembles a much bigger muscle car rather than a pony car. The grille and lights remain almost unchanged but the chassis is more like 1968-69 Oldsmobile Cutlasses, but the sides bear the aggressive, heavily creased, lines of 1970-1972 Oldsmobile Cutlasses; the rear end looks like that of a 1971 or '72 Cutlass (it says "STALLION" above the bumper much like it says "OLDSMOBILE") with extra lights. The headlights are surrounded by headlight bezels similar to the ones on a '68 Cutlass. Its engine is a 347ci (5.6 litre) V8. It is similar in appearance to the [[Clover]] from GTA San Andreas.

=== Performance ===
Its handling varies in each game. In [[Grand Theft Auto III]], the Stallion has reasonable acceleration, though its rear wheel drive layout and huge amount of low-down torque meant it was easy to perform doughnuts and wheel-spin when taking off. The GTA Vice City version is altogether slower than the GTA III rendition; however, its tail-happy traits remained. In GTA San Andreas, it handles much like the [[Clover]] and [[Sabre]] but fishtailing rarely occurs. The vehicle also appears in GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories, where they have similar attributes to the GTA III and GTA Vice City renditions, respectively.
 
In GTA IV the Stallion is easier to steer, but it will occasionally spin out of control, especially in poor weather conditions such as rain; however, it can reach higher speeds than the Stallions in previous GTA games, and it is classified as a muscle car. With good power, handling, and acceleration it is easily one of the top three muscle cars in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. Care should be taken through corners though; despite having good grip, the Stallion is awful at keeping flat through corners. The Stallion can also be quite bumpy on the road.

==Trivia==
* The Stallion name, when first adopted in GTA 1, appears to be a play of the Ford Mustang name. Both names refer to equestrian terms for horses associated with the wild. A "[[wp:mustang (horse)|mustang]]" is "a free-roaming feral horse of the North American west that first descended from horses brought to the Americas by the Spanish", while a "[[wp:Stallion|Stallion]]" is simply "a male horse that has not been neutered, castrated, or gelded".
* The Stallion has made non-GTA cameos in multiple games produced by [[Rockstar North]] as well as other [[Rockstar Games]] studios:
** The Stallion made a cameo appearance in Rockstar North's [[Manhunt]] in the mission "The Director's", in which it appears as a burnt out wreck.
** The Stallion makes cameo appearances in [[Rockstar Toronto]]'s [[wp:The Warriors (video game)|The Warriors]] as the cars on the streets that the player can steal radios from.
** A black Stallion with a flame paintjob (similar to a Diablo Stallion) appears in [[Rockstar Vancouver]]'s [[wp:Bully (video game)|Bully]] in the [http://bullygame.wikia.com/wiki/Shop Shop Class].
*In GTA IV, after collecting all thirty cars for [[Stevie]] he agrees to purchase cars from [[Niko Bellic]], with the Stallion fetching $2,200.
*The Stallion plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
** [[K-DST]] in GTA San Andreas.
** [[Liberty Rock Radio 97.8]] in GTA IV.
