Why is it worth purchasing the Cheetah Classic in 2022?

The Grotti Cheetah Classic is one of the best vehicles in the sports class due to its powerful performance. On a full upgrade, the car can reach a staggering top speed of 120.25 mph (193.52 km/h), making it the best choice for most Sports Classic races in GTA Online.

It offers better traction than the Infernus Classic and reduces the possibility of spinning out while taking corners. Beginners can easily handle the car, even at high speeds, as the vehicle gives enough windows for the driver to react to a sudden situation or avoid a catastrophic crash.

All of this makes the Cheetah Classic a must for every classic car enthusiast in GTA Online who wants a solid performance along with a sporty look.
