Everything to know about the Schyster Deviant
The Schyster Deviant’s visual appearance in GTA Online looks inspired by the real-life Ringbrothers’ Javelin AMX Defiant and the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda. The base variant of the car comes with sporty modifications installed. Its elegant body design along with its overall feel makes it one of the best-looking muscle models in the game.
When it comes to performance, the Deviant is powered by a single-cam V8 engine, coupled to a four-speed gearbox in a front-engine, rear-wheel drivetrain.
It can reach a top speed of 108.50 mph (174.61 km/h), as tested by Broughy1322. This makes it one of the most competitive muscle cars in the game as well. Its strong durability also makes it easy for players to take on collisions with it easily.
The Deviant's handling is a bit on the heavier side due to the vehicle’s weight and makes it difficult for players to oversteer it easily. Thye might also feel a poor turning radius while taking corners with it at low speeds.
Overall, it is a decent package for muscle car enthusiasts and they can build their favorite classic Plymouth GTX build with it. Players can add it to their collection and wreak havoc on the streets of Los Santos, Fast and Furious style.
