Hey, This will be short. I want to share with you all a very nice website that speaks about all things GTA-5 cars in great depth. Did you know that neons and exhaust tips significantly affect your car's centre of mass and subsequently it's handling/on-road (indirectly) performance? You do now. Such a resource will probably come as a "thank you, captain obvious" to many, but I'm sure a good bit of people will appreciate it. The website offers, like already suggested, in-depth explanations when it comes to vehicle modifications and how they truly can affect a vehicle. It contains spreadsheets with real-top speeds and literally everything. I take absolutely ZERO credit for this. Just sharing the love. Now and without further to do: https://broughy.com/gta5carupgrades Picture for effect: -
guide [Common] Usage of IRL locations names and terms
ShelbyOne posted a topic in Player-Created Guides
Usage of IRL location names and terms Introduction A lot of people don´t understand that the world of Grand Theft Auto V or any other open-world games that are built based on real-life locations is practically a whole new universe. The world of Grand Theft Auto V is based on the real-life State of California, especially Los Angeles. As the developers of Grand Theft Auto V created their universe and named it The State of San Andreas, all players are supposed to stick to the given universe and use only official location names as long as they are In-Character. Common usage As Grand Theft Auto V only covers the city of Los Santos and its County region, we should only stick to using the terms of the city of Los Santos and Los Santos County as a placeholder for the city of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County. The State of San Andreas term is therefore a placeholder for the State of California. That means concretely that the terms of Los Angeles and the State of California don´t exist in our universe. The Grand Theft Auto History The Grand Theft Auto series has mentioned multiple locations over time such as Vice City, Liberty City, San Fierro and Las Venturas. As for now, these locations also doesn´t exist in our universe. Everything that is outside the Grand Theft Auto V universe, is not to be used. Therefore talking about Las Vegas or Miami Beach In-Character is legit. If someone asks your character about Las Venturas, your character would have no idea where or what that should be. Examples of official location names in our universe In-Character In Real Life The State of San Andreas The State of California Los Santos Los Angeles Vinewood (Sign/Bowl) Hollywood (Sign/Bowl) Del Perro Pier Santa Monica Pier Vespucci Beach Venice Beach Los Santos Forum Los Angeles Forum Jefferson Towers Watts Towers Los Santos Storm Drain Los Angeles River The Alamo Sea, AKA Sandy Shores Salton Sea Galileo Observatory Griffith Observatory Marlowe Vineyard Malibu Rocky Oaks Mount Chiliad Mount San Jacinto Conclusion As the universe has its locations and terms, everything that exists in the Grand Theft Auto V game should act as a placeholder, if possible, or as a whole new location that doesn´t have to exists in real life. Only use location names and terms that belong to the universe. That also includes street names, zones, areas, neightborhoods, building names, vehicle names, postal codes, etc. Useful links San Andreas Postal Codes San Andreas Street Names & Regions -

Common usage As Grand Theft Auto V only covers the city of Los Santos and its County region, we should only stick to using the terms of the city of Los Santos and Los Santos County as a placeholder for the city of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County. The State of San Andreas term is therefore a placeholder for the State of California. That means concretely that the terms of Los Angeles and the State of California don´t exist in our universe.
