1. Peyote Gasser GTA 5 design and performance
Design
The GTA 5 Peyote Gasser real life version is the Bird of Prey, a 1955 Ford Thunderbird gasser. It is a drag car version of the Peyote so both have a lot of similarities. The side of the car no longer has the "V10 Supercharged" badge compared to the stock model.
The car doesn't have a front bumper to give space for the front-mounted oil tank. The interior of the car is the same as the stock model, except for the race-type steering wheel. The rear wheel arches were removed to fit the large drag tires.
Performance
- Top speed: 118 mph
- Acceleration: n/a
The Peyote Gasser top speed is 118 mph, which is quite decent among its class. It has amazing acceleration and great braking, making the car a great option in a straight-line race. However, the vehicle has trouble turning at high speeds because of understeer. The car has high clearance so it is capable of uneven terrain easily and small obstacles.
Powered by a single-cam V8 engine, you can do a wheelie with this car by holding the brake and gas then letting the brake go, which is pretty fun. If you pop the rear tires, you can do infinite muscle wheelie. No other muscle cars in the game can do the same thing.
2. GTA 5 Peyote Gasser customization
You can upgrade the performance and appearance of the Peyote Gasser in Los Santos Custom. With a quite unique look, the car has some exotic options for exposed engines and grilles.

3. How to get the Peyote Gasser GTA 5
There are two ways to obtain the Vapid Peyote Gasser, one from the auto shop and the other from the weekly Lucky Wheel.
-
Buy Peyote Gasser from Southern SA Super Autos
The Peyote Gasser price is $805,000 in GTA Online. Players can buy it from Southern San Andreas Super Autos. You can sell the Peyote Gasser for $483,000 (60% original price) plus 60% of the upgrades you made.
The price of the Peyote Gasser is really high but doesn't really add up with a performance at all. Still, it is a fun car to mess with and definitely worth a try in the Diamond Casino’s Lucky Wheel.
