You see, just like Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and democracy we’re taught a lot of lies for convenience’s sake. The Buffalo isn’t any more of a muscle car than a DF8-90, despite all the suspiciously hyper-masculine adverts Bravado keeps airing. No amount of 80s hair metal music or moody men in sunglasses will change that. Why? Well the reason might be less obvious than you think.
Thanks for stopping by!

Seeing the buffalo without the kit made me realize how good the original buffalo looks and how badly I want one.
God heah
You got how good and I got how sinfully ugly 😂😂
GTA4’s FIB Buffalo literally inspired me as a kid to acquire a 2010 Dodge Charger retired police car (painted black) to be my first car out of high school. They are forever engrained in my mind as the most intimidating, quintessential police cars ever. I used the spawner cheat for entire playthroughs. Then in 5 they gave it that DISGUSTING body kit you can’t remove so I refuse to touch the thing. If I could just get the civilian version to look like the police one, I would literally still be driving it in Online to this day.
They actually gave it that hideous bodykit back in IV with TBoGT. Still saying, prolly won't change anything about how hideous the bodykit really is.
Same bro I’ve been begging rockstar on twitter to get rid of it lmao
There was a glitch to remove the body kit in the ps3/Xbox 360 version of online. But they patched it when they ported it over to the next generation
Yea, they should've just left the regular Buffalo stock and had the Buffalo S be the one with the bodykit. Thankfully, there is a mod to revert it back to stock.
The "big pinnacle energy" bit alone made this already great video even better. Definitely worth a sub
the average -maxima- pinnacle driver

Ngl i hated the buffalo S design it was too wide but the one thing i wish they did carryover to the stx was the S taillights
I remember buying my Buffalo S brand new when the 2011 model year rolled around and the first models were being sold at my local Shyster dealer. I swapped the 4 cylinder out for a 450ci V8 from a Gauntlet that the previous owner had wrapped around a tree. The exhaust note was so thunderous that my neighbor's bathtub collapsed through the floor and crushed him while he was watching The Underbelly of Paradise.
😶😶😶
I love the tribute to the ultimate tire slayer number 43 may his ever lasting impact on the car world live on 😢
The legendary Buffalo has probably been almost every online player’s first car
Not mine. Mine was the humble Albany Emperor. It was metallic white and had chrome muscle car wheels. Still have it to this day and have no intention of ever getting rid of it. A lot of good memories with it.
Mine was a senital XS
Nope... The Vigero was mine
Mine was the Dominator!
When I started back in 2014 on PS3,mine was Karin Futo🥰
This just proves we need a Buffalo classic
Technically the dukes are the buffalo classics, just not named as such
@@mxz1691the dukes is a bit too wide and large. Its better if they made a Buffalo Classic to look a bit Narrow and Short like the Gauntlet Calssic.
@@Sonic57053 the dukes is based off the 1970 charger. Wouldn’t make sense to make a car that’s exactly the same to an old charger that already exists in the game.
@@mxz1691 still I think we need a PROPER version of the 1970 Dodge Charger and then the entire Buffalo lineup evolution is complete.
@@mxz1691 they could pull a GTR and make the Buffalo originally a trim for the Dukes that eventually became its own model because of its popularity.
Imma risk the wrath of reddit mods and try to share this in a gta online sub, because these are so high effort and unique and I really love them and I bet alot of others would love to see these too! Keep it up king
Like even this one feels like your most ambitious one yet too and I appreciate that! Hate this car btw in game. Hate hate hate it
Amazing, I'm grateful for your comments and efforts to put in r/gtao. There'll be much more on the way this year, glad you like it!
Just found your channel and I absolutely loved this "lore friendly" content about the vehicles in the game... and the tribute at the end hits like a rock. Cheers man
I really wish those skirts were removable. I'd daily drive that Buffalo in GTAO easily.
To be honest, I didn't expect this much effort from a small channel I really like your work keep it like that
It's definitely weird seeing that the engine bay model they used in both the buffalo brought over from GTA 4, and the S, is a 4 banger. Going off the engine sounds they have has always screamed that the one from 4 is a v6, and the S is a v8
Back in the TBOGT days the buffalo was a speedster among the sport cars within liberty city
Glad someone cares about GTA car lore as much as I do.
Australia has been doing 4 door muscle cars for years, falcons, commodores, kingswood etc.
These videos are so unique and incredible, keep up the good work. I hope I see more in the future!
These videos are criminally underrated, keep up the good work man♥️♥️
really glad i stumbled upon this channel, cant wait to see more.
4c in a boat is wild. Great video 😅
I just watched every single one of your videos and decided that I need to share them wherever I can. I have never seen more commitment, attention-to-detail, and clever humor packed into roughly 5 minutes of video every time, and I can't think of many other channels that make video game content more enjoyable than playing the game itself. Please keep making these videos. Your level of talent and care deserves an audience far bigger than this.
This is amazing I was thinking of something similar haha. Keep up the good work bro 👍
The new buffalo was introduce in 2008
Gotta give it to you man, this is pure gold. Safe to say this is better than most real life car reviews! Keep it up!
I see a guy passing me on the highway, with a scat pak then losing control and dying.
My bro Franklin has a Buffalo, he loves that ride
love the presentation of your videos :)
I remember seeing a whole bunch on a night drive down in east los Santos in story mode, I thought I was going crazy, I was frank and I counted exactly 16 cars, pretty strange. And this Genuinely happened.
Please make more of these!
Dude you are killing it Awesome Videos love it! SUBBED!
Franklin’s Buffalo is my favorite Charger since I have that same car in real life as a 2013 Charger SRT ❤
keep up the great work man love the quality and effort of these videos. may I suggest the zr350 or sentinel classic next?
Thanks for your comment! I can add those to the list for sure.
We need a Bobcat XL and Regina review!
Great editing. Love this lore, as an auto enthusiast this pleases my Gta fandom, car guy fandom, and such combo makes me sub. Keep it up there is almost no creators in this sub genre.
It does make me sad too see a non-sport buffalo not getting added to GTAV any soon. I think it looks so great on the streets and I would like to own one just like this ;-;
You might disagree with the Buffalo S being classified as a muscle car, but I am quite fond of its design and the aggressive look it held with its front bumper, and the fact that it has a 6.4L V8? Better call Los Santos Customs, Hao's, Beeker's or whoever can stockpile some tires, because I am about to shred many of them.
The sly shot of the Dukes was great.
Idk why but the FIB and police versions of the buffalo look better than the civilian buffalo. The civilian one just looks too low even with the stock suspension
It’s the ugly bodykit you can’t remove that ruins it
I love these videos
Dude I love these…
This was insanely amazing!!!
I like your video style.
I got watching this video, and when I went to sub, I was surprised to see such low subs. The algorithm seems to be in your favor now, take advantage of it 🙂
the fact that I glitched my way to getting Bravdo Buffalo S immediately in my GTAO save makes me happy.
Dey should add da pmp Ina final update 🙌🏾
subscriber earned!
Mother of god, I thought it was an i6. I didn’t see past the low polygons. It’s a f*cking i4.
very nice buffalo cars are good and i subscribe your channel good luck...
incredible.. just incredible
Whys this video so sick haha
damn! Another banger!!!!
You know, this series reminds me of “Iconic Guns” by Ahoy
Best channel ever
Thank you
As a guy with a 2010 charger irl gotta say the Buffalo is underrated
OK...take my sub already!!
So how exactly does one find a standard Buffalo with the shortened bumpers and skirts like the one shown here? I can never see one in the traffic and the one you buy has the obnoxious sport bumpers and skirts come as standard. I would love to have just one modern muscle car that I can drive around while doing work that isn't overly-stylized.
Unfortunately this is a modded variant of the Buffalo, as far as I know the Buffalo you see in the video was the beta version. You can see billboards in GTA IV that show the car without the extensions.. The in-game exceptions being the TBoGT Police cruiser and the FIB Buffalo, added cosmetics are a deal-breaker for me too, can't have one in my garage.
@@virtualcarchive Yeah, I figured shortly after posting that comment that it was a mod. It really sucks too since the lore-related reason you mentioned is not much of an excuse for it not existing since the FIB prefers using Grangers over Buffalos in GTAO. The IV Buffalo and the PMP 600 may not be popular faves but they still deserve to be in the game.
@@sonicdbzfan94 100%
Wait, the buffalo and the buffalo s are both 4 cylinder? I'm now scarred for life
Yooo he uploaded
The forced bodykit on the regular Buffalo is such a dealbreaker for me. I'd own one if it didn't have them.
I wish the Buffalo drove similar to the Gauntlet Hellfire. Or better yet if they called it something else and brought back the Buffalo from San Andreas
big pinnacle energy lmaooooooooooooo altima drivers
woah you just roasted buffalo
This is neat
Gauntlet next
As they say. 4 doors for more horologists
This was fucking fantastic. (Sorry for the swear) Oh my days! I’m subbed now
Who was that memorial at the end dedicated to?
I'll always hate that we can't get the stock first generation Buffalo in online without the ugly skirts. I don't get Rockstar's obsession with skirting every car and making things sit annoyingly close to the ground. I hope in GTA 6 we get more normal looking bumpers on cars and the option to lift suspension instead of just lowering it. Some people might wanna live outside the city where there's worse roads or dirt roads but still have nice cars that don't constantly scrape the ground on every rock or pothole. Even some of the so-called 'offroad' vehicles have annoyingly low suspension and constantly scrape on rocks and potholes!
This is honestly the most underrated GTA channel and content on KZhead… More Subcribers dammit! F Mrbossftw…
All this video did was make me angry to the fact that the PMP is STILL not in this game; along with several other GTA IV vehicles.
Pinnacle is one of my favorite cars in GTA IV. Perhaps it's a sign for a future Pinnacle Episode #BigPinnacleEnergy Also, what is that car at 3:23? I bever seen that.
Declasse Tulip M-100
@@Masgel_ ah, i see. Forgot that it exist
@@RosyMiranto sometimes it do be like that
This is dope 🤣
whats the name of the car behind the tahoma coupe at 3:20 ??????
The GTA IV Sabre, not to be confused with the Sabre Turbo
on 3:20 what car is in the back?
That'd be the standard Saber from GTA IV
I’m sorry what traffic mod or every mod Is you using , I need that , I hope it’s not too out of date
For that video, I used RED-ITA's: Traffic Plus+ mod. I've since switched to Skysder's: Enhanced Traffic Experience as it uses fewer dlc cars/ones without LODs to keep the performance up. I try to list all the mods used in the video in the description. Hope this helps!
@@virtualcarchive yep thanks love you 😘 LOL
👍
Gta 4 buffalo op
Subscribing just because you hate the bodykit just as much as I do.
Was this made in ps5
Love this car in TBoGT. It feels fast and powerful. While in GTA V,it had a huge downgrade. But cool car nonetheless.
