Acceleration
|
| Gives off an incredible boost of speed upon acceleration, being able to reach approximately 63 MPH in a second, beats some supercars and competes with Torpedo in terms of launch speed. | The acceleration is better than a good portion of other Jailbreak cars. Better than the Challenger and is close enough to the Bloxy. |
| Handling
|
Offroading
|
| Despite having average handling, it has very good grip and is easy to control at all speeds, which is comparable to the Megalodon. | Off-roading is phenomenal while in motion, however at lower speeds and especially at a standstill the lower deflector can prevent the car from going over small bumps and train tracks. Using high suspension causes the vehicle to rock back and forth after going down a slope. |
