The Phoenix is based on the [[:wp:Pontiac Firebird#Second generation (1970-1981)|1979-1981 Pontiac Firebird]] but the round taillights are similar to [[:wp:Chevrolet Camaro (second generation)|1970-1973 Chevrolet Camaros]]. It has varied slightly throughout the games, with a rear deck lid blackout panel in GTA San Andreas, and a thinner stripe in GTA Vice City Stories.

The Phoenix is one of the fastest cars in GTA Vice City, with excellent torque and handling. The Phoenix drives and sounds as if powered by a large V8 engine. Like most muscle cars, it has a two person capacity.

If note is the car's a large airscoop for the carburetor, which is also seen on the [[Love Fist Limo|Love Fist limousine]] in GTA Vice City. In GTA Vice City, the butterflies in the hood scoop opens when accelerating; in GTA San Andreas, however, they are stationary, and in GTA Vice City Stories the butterflies are eliminated altogether. It is also noteworthy that the GTA San Andreas version of the Phoenix is the only one with three-dimensional butterflies in the scoop; those in GTA Vice City are 2-dimensional sprites (flat), despite the fact that they moved.
