What you need to know first
Five things to know about GTA funny moments before anything else:
- GTA Liberty City Stories: 2005
- GTA San Andreas: 2004
- GTA Vice City Stories: 2006
- Weekly discounts regularly put A-tier entries at B-tier prices.
- GTA Vice City: 2002
- Avoid: ranking on price or popularity instead of performance.
What is at stake
Tier placement changes with patches: a buff, a price cut or a new weekly bonus can move an entry two places overnight.
- ✗Ignoring platform-exclusive entries that change the top of the list
- ✗Treating a years-old tier list as current after multiple patches
- ✗Choosing the number one pick for a use case it is not built for
Rumors, debunked
Popular belief versus what the game actually does:
Myth: The newest release is always the best
Reality: New content launches strong and often gets balanced down within months.
Myth: Tier lists are objective
Reality: They are arguments with data attached; ours shows the data.
Myth: Expensive means top tier
Reality: Several of the strongest options cost a fraction of the flagship entries.
GTA funny moments at a glance
Before any opinion, the data:

Terms used in this guide
If any wording in this guide was unfamiliar:
- Meta - The current community consensus on what performs best
- S-tier - The top bracket - best overall or best in nearly every situation
- Nerf / buff - A patch that reduces or improves an item's performance
- Value pick - The entry with the best performance relative to cost
The same approach, adapted for flying cars GTA, has its own walkthrough.
The sequence that works
Treat this as a checklist on the first run and a reminder on every run after:
- Define what you need the pick for - story, grinding, racing or showing off - because the top of the list shifts with the use case.
- Start with the S-tier entry for your use case and skip the rest of the list unless budget or availability forces you down.
- Check availability: several entries are tied to a DLC, a weekly rotation or a platform.
- Test the entry yourself where possible; the LS Car Meet test track, free-roam and story-mode replays all let you try before you commit.
- Re-check this list after a major update - we move entries when Rockstar changes stats or prices.
