Voodoo

Revision as of 18:31, 7 September 2009 by Gta-mysteries (talk | contribs)

The Voodoo is a lowrider in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto IV. It is used by the Haitians in Vice City, and in San Andreas it is used by the Grove Street Families (and, in some missions, by other gangs), it is especially favored for its low ground clearance allowing for wheels to be protected to an extent.

Design

GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories

In GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, with its panoramic windshield and distinctive sideways tail fins, the Voodoo strongly resembles a 1960 Chevrolet Impala. But it has a double taillight design rather than the Impala's triple taillights, like the lesser full-size Chevys, the Bel Air and the Biscayne (possibly to avoid legal disputes).

In GTA Vice City the car is only available in red, (with a black version seen only in the mission Two Bit Hit ) and has hydraulics instead of a horn. In GTA San Andreas, it is seen in many different colors. The fuel cap is behind the license plate in the back of the car, and if it gets shot, it will explode. In GTA Vice City Stories, it has a distinctive engine sound and it has different colors that can be resprayed, instead of the usual red. The hydraulics are also replaced with a car horn.

GTA IV

In GTA IV, the Voodoo retains much of its visual cues from previous games and bears the Declasse brand. While remaining a lowrider, hydraulics are no longer available. The car has the Chevrolet Impala's trademark 6 tail lights, and still has the end of a 1960 Impala but strays away from the original design since it has the front of an altered '64 Impala (shaped like a 1965 Rambler Classic, 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner, etc.; but it looks more like the Impala's). The roof and windows are also from a 1964 (or '63) Impala. It also has a chrome strip running down the trunk as seen on 1959 Impalas, and features both one-tone or two-tone body colors. All Voodoos also feature "S.S." and "Limited Edition" badging and have a heart-shaped hood ornament.

The GTA IV Voodoo is manufactured by Declasse, the only evidence is when the police identify it on the police radio as a "Declasse Voodoo", besides that, there is no particular Declasse badging on or in the vehicle. There is a special "Jamaican Flag" (black and green with gold chrome) Voodoo that is driven by members of Little Jacob's posse. There is also a similar Voodoo that is black and red with gold chrome, but it is not affiliated with the Spanish Lords or any other gang.

Performance

In GTA Vice City Stories, the Voodoo's speed is slow and it struggles to climb up on hill-like roads; if it crashes with another car it may take a while until the Voodoo gets going again. In GTA San Andreas it is speedy, with smooth handling for a car of its size, and thanks to its low center of gravity, will generally not flip unless the hydraulics are jacked up.

In GTA IV, the Voodoo still has a low center of gravity but is much slower (one of the slowest-accelerating cars in the game), heavier, and less maneuverable, but it can take a lot of damage due to its weight and bulk

Modifications (GTA San Andreas)

Modification of the Voodoo in GTA San Andreas can only be performed at Loco Low Co. However, like the Tahoma, the Voodoo's choices of customization is far more limited than most other lowriders.

The modifications include:

  • Colors (Only one, for the body color ($150).)
  • Wheels (Four types: Twist ($1,200), Wire ($1,560), Virtual ($620) and Access ($1,140).)
  • Bass Boast ($100)
  • Hydraulics ($1,500)
  • Nitrous (Three types: 2x ($100), 5x ($500) and 10x ($1,000).)
