Gear Up, Slick! Stealing (or Otherwise Acquiring) a Race Car in GTA 5 Story Mode
So, you wanna ditch the rusty sedan and trade it in for a fire-breathing speed demon? Let's face it, Los Santos ain't exactly known for its public transportation, and who needs the bus when you can have a souped-up rocket on four wheels, am I right? This here guide will be your cheat sheet to acquiring the ride of your dreams (or at least a seriously fast one) in GTA 5 Story Mode. Just remember, with great speed comes great… well, attracting unwanted attention.
How To Get A Race Car In GTA 5 Story Mode |
The Grunt Work: Stealing Ain't Pretty (But it can be fun)
Let's be honest, there's a certain thrill to the classic GTA method: stealing. Los Santos is crawling with fancy cars, just begging to be liberated and put to good use… by you! Here's your crash course in grand theft auto (get it?):
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.![]()
- Hit the Streets: Cruise around wealthy neighborhoods like Rockford Hills or Vinewood. These areas are practically overflowing with expensive cars just waiting for a joyride.
- Target Selection: Look for sleek, sporty models. Think Infernus, Adder, or Cheetah. These bad boys are practically built for speed.
- The Art of the Steal: This ain't rocket science. Approach the car, jack it the old-fashioned way, and peel out before the cops catch wind. Easy, right? (Although, escaping the fuzz can be a whole other adventure…)
Word to the Wise: Stealing might be tempting, but it can also be risky. Cops in Los Santos ain't exactly known for their chill vibes, and a high-speed chase can get messy (and expensive in terms of repair costs).

Classy Acquisition: Races and Riches
Looking for a more legitimate (well, kinda) way to snag a race car? There are a few ways to earn your wheels through honest-to-goodness competition:
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.![]()
- Stock Car Races: Complete the "Stock Car" mission for Trevor to unlock a series of races. Win 'em all and you'll bag some seriously sweet stock cars, including the legendary Cheval Marshall (think monster truck on steroids).
- Street Races: Franklin can participate in street races scattered around the map. These are a great way to test your skills and potentially win some serious cash (which you can then use to buy a sweet ride).
- Random Events: Keep your eyes peeled for random street races that might pop up during gameplay. Sometimes, victory can lead to a sweet new car.
Remember: These races can be challenging, so brush up on your driving skills and don't be afraid to practice. Victory (and a sweet new car) awaits the persistent!
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.![]()
Showroom Showdown: Ballin' on a Budget (or Not)
Let's face it, sometimes you just gotta have it now. If the thrill of the steal or the sweat of competition isn't your style, you can always visit Legendary Motorsport. This high-end car dealership has a wide selection of race cars and supercars that you can purchase outright. Just make sure your wallet's ready for the sticker shock!
Pro Tip: Throughout the story mode, you'll come across opportunities to make some serious cash. Heists, stock market manipulation (ahem), and other "entrepreneurial" endeavors can provide the funds to snag that dream car.
There you have it, my friends! With a little know-how and maybe a touch of recklessness, you'll be cruising the streets of Los Santos in style (and probably causing a little mayhem along the way). Just remember, drive responsibly (or at least responsibly-ish) and watch out for the cops!
