GTA 5 - Past DLC Vehicle Customization - Willard Faction Custom (Buick Grand National)

Welcome back to the series where I customize and review OG, and older DLC Vehicles from late 2015 and older that I was never able to make videos on. The reason I make these videos on these older cars is to provide my opinion on how they currently stack up to newer ones in-game. And ultimately, help you better decide on whether or not you should buy them when/if the more expensive ones go on sale.
Willard Faction Custom
Base Price - $371,000
Class - Muscle
Drive-train - RWD
Primarily Based On - 1984 Buick Grand National
DLC Update - Lowriders Update
Release Date - October 20th, 2015

He did a video on it

[@TheMalevolentSpoon]

There is one important detail to bring up about the regular Faction: Its hitbox is scuffed, and has a real tendency to launch itself into the air off curbs or small obstacles. It's funny at first, but really dampens the driving experience, and it's a shame the car still has that issue.

[@racermigs1]

I read somewhere that it's bc of a typo in the car's handling files. Why R* still hasn't fixed it, I'll never understand.

[@victornjensen]

@@racermigs1 they tried fixing it in 2015, but then it broke all the lowriders. They then just reverted back to the Faction being broken and never tried fixing again.

[@RebelFNOS]

It's still a beauty and a piece of eye candy at car meets

[@soulassassin0g]

It's only a problem when it's stock but once you turn it into a lowrider it fixes that problem... As long as you don't pump the hydros lol.

The first car I bought when I got back into gta in 2019. Only thing I didn't like was the stock version makes contact with curbs. I wouldn't mind the upgrade so much if it wasn't slammed.

[@1234567efren]

I definitely cant drive it because of that lol it slams curbs til your car flips over

[@katdaddy469]

I thought the low n slow version would be even worse. So is better with curbs than the stock one?

[@Jay_Digital]

@@katdaddy469 yeah it's pretty backwards.

[@katdaddy469]

@@Jay_Digital I just tested it out. The Bennie's custom Factions front bumper just clips through the curbs. No more catching the curb unless you raise the back of the car. Also the rear wheels shrunk in width. Anyway I'm happy I can drive the car now without fear of curbs lol

[@samiransar387]

@@katdaddy469 I think the original comment was how the stock version can't take any curbs. The custom version never had that issue. I'm gonna test the stock version tonight to see if it still does the curb flip thing.

I own a 87 Buick Grand National IRL. In game I decided to sacrificed the hood option over the ridiculous wheel well and left it non Benny's. I just think it looks better stock. Slapped on a GNX plate and this has been one of my daily drivers in the game. However, not my daily driver IRL. It sits along side my 79 Trans Am, and gets pulled out about once a week.
