RWD or 4WD

Just a comment on the performance section - Does it refer to GTASA or GTAIV? The Vincent in IV is RWD, last I checked.. That Thing There 04:54, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

In the game files for GTA IV, the Vincent is 4WD. See http://www.gta4.net/vehicles/ Hbriz 21:33, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Mm, never knew that. Always assumed it was RWD. Very useful site, by the way! That Thing There 01:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Less Effective ABS

The fact that the Vincent's "ABS" must lock up then roll, then lock up, then roll, etc. is less effective. The whole point of ABS is to prevent the wheels from locking up in the first place; when they do lock up they began to slide on the pavement, which increases stopping distance. You can see tire marks from short bits of sliding from the Vincent and I've noticed towards the end of taking the vehicle to a complete stop, the "ABS" keeps the wheels locked; further proving it is less effective. --Energy Monkey 23:41, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
