A few things to keep in mind: the champion is as fast as the adder. Not super fast, but still a fast car. It also handles really well. The Buffalo is actually faster than the champion, as per broughy's testing. The airport is more smooth so you don't get the speed boosts from bumps there. Personally, i use the Buffalo as an rc, it's faster, has better mg placement and can wheelie so is better at chasing people. I use the champion with anti lock on, it has better grip, so it can accelerate better and is better for quick direction changes and throwing stickies at mk2s
@@someweeb3650 jets are practically immune to lock on missiles so yeah they’re quite a joke against a jet I also forgot to mention most of those cars don’t have have much armor besides the toredor
I think the rolls Royce is the best one so far as it's 4 door, heavy so you won't start flying if a rocket hits you, speedy, machine-guns are at headshot level of most cars, and it's the cheapest one. Quite the good setup.
@@FalconFlight747 I'd say no-lock on so you can just not die to mk2s lol, for rc I'm going to put rc on the car I don't care for and I think thats a good idea because I'll only use it for one purpose and will use the ones I like to drive around and I wont't die to missiles. Or buy a second of an already owned car to put rc on if you want to. Second jublie would be cost effective.
@@FalconFlight747 if you got the extra money as it's more expensive, and you like it, you could get it with either upgrade but speaking technically the buffalo is the better buy as it's almost the exact same stats, but cheaper and the machine-guns are higher up so they're more practical than the champions guns. Overall the buffalo is better than it. I haven't bought the diety yet as it's not too different than the paragon as far as looks and and handling goes so I think it's perfect to be an rc as it's fast, not really that unique, and not too expensive.
One _small_ advantage of the Champion over the STX is that once the windows are shot out by NPCs, the Champion's window openings are much smaller than the STX's. So even once the bullet resistant windows are gone, the mobs will hit you less than they would in the STX. Obviously, this only matters if you're doing *a lot* of PvE in these cars.
I wanted to do the sensible thing and bought the Buffalo but couldn’t stop admiring the beautiful sleek elegance of the Champion. So I followed my heart and am now super happy with this extraordinarily stunning car.
The real car the champions based on is so cool. The Aston Martin Victor. Such a sick looking car. I love how they went back to the old V8 Vantage looks. Simply amazing.
Yes. I fell in love with the old V8 Vantage watching 007 The Living Daylights (1987). The Victor is just an epic homage to an epic car, and the Champion actually looks epic. I like how R* stopped being shy about cars and would just outright copy 90% of the car's body and change a few things. I still have my Rapid GT Classic, but if there ever was a "Champion Classic", with both hardtop and Volante variants, I would cream my pants and buy it outright.
Yes, the Champion isn't the fastest, but I like how the back end slides around very nicely to get around corners if you ease off the throttle into the corner and then accelerate out. For me, what's more important in free mode is how much I like the handling, and the top speed. 124mph is not great, but it's not really slow, either. All said I really like it.
I bought it on release day for 3 mil and when testing it I could have sworn it was another Itali RSX like "sports car." Very slow for super and definitely disappointing for its price. I had no clue it could take 11 missiles though, I was under the impression that it was the same as the Baller Armored and Shafter Armored.
The only reason why I really bought it was for the look, and also make it an R/C trolling car. My Buffalo on the other hand is definitely going to be my grinding for money car completely. So missile jammer, armor, and slicks. Don't want the machine guns though could care less about those.
@@AdamSchadow The Pariah is stable if you put the right custom wheels on it for rear traction bias. Both the Pariah and RSX lose to the GTO on a balanced track, though.
the car is modelled after the Aston Martin Victor which 1 was only ever made. Gotta say it’s one of the best looking cars IMO and the armour and anti-lock only adds to it
Whilst it might not be one of the best Super cars in terms of performance compared to many other better options in the class, it's still an awesome new addition to the game and great to finally have an Armoured Supercar for the first time in over 8 years of GTA Online!🤯😎👍👏
I bought Champion even though I knew it wasn't great at all performance-wise, but it still looked cool. Besides, I really didn't like that Franklin owns the new Buffalo STX too and stores it inside the first floor of the garage for show-offs, making it look like a copycat if I ever bought one...
I truly hope they add some of these upgrades to the bond vehicles like the JB700W it already has slicks/spikes front mounted guns but needs the bullet proof windows to become useful also give it a few rocket resistance. I have all the Bond influenced vehicles in the game but shame that most of them have no abilities :( he's to hopping they make new versions
I hope one day we can fit it to everything. Well, except the missile firing vehicles themselves. I'd pay to be able to cruise around in my Ardent without lockons for sure. :P
The one thing that really me about this car is the fact that the armored plate on the right side are a darker color than on the left. I dont know how i managed to notice it but yea
A fast and well-handling super car with explosive armour, bullet resistant glass and slick mines would become a griefer tool, so I'm not too mad that it is not super fast or that it flips if you as much as look at it wrong. (Yes I do own it, it still looks cool. But I wish I could armour up the ignus instead since it already looks like a Tumbler.)
Racing has diminished a lot in GTA. There's no point in needing to own the fastest supercar now, because most of the time you're playing free roam. I get it that you need a fast car for a race, but races themselves aren't as big as they were in 2014 and 2015. Payouts are trash, and there's a lot of other stuff to do.
I bought this and it might now be the fastest car it's still fun to drive imo. I'm just glad to have a nice decently quick armored super car to drive around and not have to worry about getting blown up. I play in free aim lobbies so no aim bot 👌🏼
Thank you again for this review! I loved your Buffalo STX review and wanted to buy that car and now seeing that the Champion has similar armour stats I might as well buy both! Imani Tech has to be the best thing added in game for us grinders who play in Public Lobbies. And the armour plating is just the cherry on top of the cake 😍
I knew when I bought this car it wasn't going to be part of the top pack in terms for racing but I still enjoy using this car in general. Especially throwing in into corners
I adore the Champion. It's my favorite car from the update. I'd hazard to say, however, that the reason it isn't much for performance it the fact that it's based on an Aston Martin. Look, I love Aston Martin with all my heart. Every car they make is always absolutely beautiful. When it comes to performance... it just isn't their game. Yes, I know, the Victor is based upon the Vulcan and One-77 with some Valkrie underpinnings, but considering it also has RWD, a manual transmission, and like many other current Astons is designed for clever downforce while being jaw-droppingly beautiful, it's not really gonna be or is meant to be the fastest thing in the world. It's meant to be a fun-to-drive tribute to the 80s V8 Vantage and the Champion matches that spirit so well. I love throwing this thing sideways around every corner in Los Santos and getting into chases, letting bullets ping off the body and windows as I haul ass through the city streets. Sure, the machine gun placement is a bit odd and disappointing (why didn't they just put them in place of the brights? It would've been the perfect place!) and it does have some glitchy issues (hitbox between the back of the doors and the body has a gap like the Granger, right reverse light glow is in the wrong position, armor on the right side is darker than on the left), but the Champion is an absolute blast to drive, and the out-of-the-box armor & Imani Tech compatability is just the icing on the cake for me.
Aston Martin is the Mustang of the super car world. LOL it knows there are faster cars available out there - but it just smiles that smug little grin knowing when you're this cool you don't need to be the fastest thing on the road to be a badass 😎
I have a Car Shop...They give you a list of exotic cars to steal but don't bother to show you pictures so I now have to look each car up...This game is like an actual job...But I still love it...
Although the Champion’s machine guns are low to the ground, it can be very good as an RC car. When you ram someone, you can melt them down with the MGs while they’re trying to get back up.
I bought one purely for my car collection, it looks incredible. I don’t have any weapons or armor on it, because it ruins the look. I’ll put those things on the Buffalo and on the new Patriot and Granger when they get released.
If you are on PS4/5 I would like to check out your collection. Always nice to meet fellow enthusiasts. It is the only reason I keep playing the game lol with more than 270+ cars
To be fair, armored cars SHOULD be heavier/slower. I got the buffalo and the patriot with Imani tech. I highly recommend the patriot mil spec because it has very little window space. You can fully get rid of the back windows by adding a new flatbed to it. I feel secure in the patriot.
Well obviously, the champion wouldn't be able to compete with the ignus and kreiger since its a super car that can be modified with armor. Now imagine if that thing had the acceleration of that with the kreigers speed.
@@Imitationist Not really. It's not a car for speed it's a convenience with the armour, missile jammer etc. Plus it handles better than the Zentorno so you'd go quicker anyway.
@@Yourdad1412 Do you know that the Buffalo STX can also be equipped with all of these and still performs better than the Champion in just about every aspect?
This vehicle is definitely an alternative for the people who would prefer to have a sporty/super car over a muscle car. But who tf doesn't like a armored dodge charger hellcat
To be fair we were expecting an armored vehicle not to be as fast as the fastest car in the game. But you should have compared it to more armored cars like the insurgent the other new armored cars and the old luxury armored cars to compare it especially the pierogi R armored.
We know the insurgent and Nightshark tank more missiles. But in terms of speed and handling and bullet protection it would be nice to include those in the comparison with the new vehicles.
You do need to lower the suspension at least one notch to make the car stable enough to drive. I generally don't lower my cars as the high suspension soaks bumps better, but this one I had to.
Despite being only a civvie super car, i’ll stick with the tezeract. I think it has the highest speed of all the super cars which you can further increase.
Unfortunate that R* has a track record of keeping vehicle upgrades contained to a dlc. It would be so nice if they added these upgrades to cars in the future/a handful of older cars. Maybe not every single car though. It would give some of the slower/less optimized vehicles a proper use
Hate people dissing it bc it’s not as fast as weevil in a straight line but it’s got such good handling and is very versatile and useful it’s a no brainer just price is way too high but it’s still worth it
I like using the RC mode because I can finally clap back on people who use RC stuff to mess with me or others while in the lobby. I use it to attack people mid battle too since people do it to me.
The MGs are not meant to destroy vehicles, think disabling tactics, pop non-BP tires slow other vehicles down. AS far as taking down NPCs... thats up for debate.
After playing the update more and making one of the new cars have the RC function, it’s so fun just trolling players in what seems like an autonomous vehicle.
The armor plating on the right side of this car is a shade darker than the left side and IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY. I wanted to like it but for that reason only I had to sell it. Can't drive on the streets with such misery.
@@AmaryIIion Yeah but when I drove it around while trying to do missions with my friends, it just gets around so much slower than the Buffalo. So I guess I mean slow by comparison. When you’re turning a lot and losing momentum that top speed means nothing but I see your point.
@@choppergunner8650 cool name! Yeah but that price/performance ratio and all the Imani tech can be put on much cheaper vehicles. I still like the car but as an Aston Martin fan, the performance makes me sad
Ghillie will you be doing a video on the problems that arose with this update? Like arcade trophies gone missing as well as you can not start cayo heist if you spawn inside kosatka on session change? I feel like rockstar does watch your videos. Anyways cheers mate
Is that what I stole last night? I don't think it was a player car but it looked just like that, and after I stole it one player kept chasing me down with his buddy. Thing was OP. I was just trying to run but it was so quick to turn around that it was easy to turn on a dime and hit him with suppressing fire when he'd get out of his car. I was having a blast though i had no idea what was going on. I wonder if it was for a mission or something... the guns were definitely low, but it was handy for causing chaos in the road to throw my tail off.
The Kreiger and the Ignus are the fastest Super Cars in-game (Ignus is an all wheel drive I think) and they are just barely ahead of the Champion, also, I think the new Buffalo is also the fastest muscle car (it's either that or the Dominator ASP) and it is an all wheel drive compared to the Rear Wheel Drive of the Champion so I think the Champion is a relatively good car
I saw the ingus beat the krieger in an airport race. Forgot who did the test but it was a popular UA-camr. But then the pariah beat the ingus. So idk what the ingus can do but I like it. The Buffalo is amazing. The armored suv is a beast! Hummer of course is amazing (even tho I got shot out of it when backup to someone and I have the slant back roof but he caught me from a side slightly) I wanna buy the champion strictly for it look! It’s such a SiK looking design like jo other. Whereas the Zeno which I heard is broken looks like the damn T-20 at first glance
Why can we not just add the tech to all the standard cars not the armoured vehicles A massive costs that we would all pay gladly . Aaah the Zentorno with no lock how 🤤 😋 This car only good for RC
i am pretty sure that rockstar have surely made the champion that way( in all aspects) or else it will be the most over powered vehicle in gta 5 online ( might even beat the oppresor)
Eh it doesn't really give you much offensive power if you use the missile jammer its basically a giant anti greif sponge thats reasonably fast if you could add homing missiles then it'd be that level though
@@marcusmccluskey6473 Fast armoured cars with slick mines could be used for griefing in a more old-school way. It is rare compared to jets and broomsticks, but I do occasionally see griefers in Toreadors or supercars.
@@KimonFrousios yea I mean technically you can grief in anything but these new cars are not good for greifing the rc car all.ya gotta do is either hop on a rooftop or drive away none of them are super fast cars and the lock on tech is good for countering greifing but has no real greifing ability these cars are just normal cars with really bad machine guns that can take more damage

Champion better grip than the buffalo? What? Buffalo flies through corners full speed.
Same

The horn makes npc traffic faster?

Fast, great handling, nice drifting but sometimes slips out.
Very, very nice armor upgrades and such.
I really recommend it.
Unfortunate that R* has a track record of keeping vehicle upgrades contained to a dlc. It would be so nice if they added these upgrades to cars in the future/a handful of older cars. Maybe not every single car though. It would give some of the slower/less optimized vehicles a proper use
Reading this might give glitchers ideas to glitch the non look on to the mk2!
I just love how it looks
the fact alone that the buffalo is a Dodge Charger hellcat makes it worth it, everything else is just icing on the cake
It’s perfect in every way for cruising through los santos in public
Hate people dissing it bc it’s not as fast as weevil in a straight line but it’s got such good handling and is very versatile and useful it’s a no brainer just price is way too high but it’s still worth it
I like using the RC mode because I can finally clap back on people who use RC stuff to mess with me or others while in the lobby. I use it to attack people mid battle too since people do it to me.
Wouldn’t be surprised if next update adds a tank that can keep up with super cars while blasting them with the cannon
The shotgun shot resistance is a little more complex. Since a shotgun fires multiple pellets, basically a full direct shot would break the glass.
Nah full pellets hitting the glass won’t break it until after about the 7th one.
@Shell Company Im gonna have to press x to doubt on that one lol. Were you standing next to it to make sure all of the pellets hit?
@Shell Company Just tested it now and after the 7th shotgun shot where all the pellets hit the glass it went through on the 8th
@Shell Company Yeah could be a bug
Dude 2 vids in a day keep up the great work
This car is basically my go-to freemode vehicle lol
My fav car is an absolute unit?? That’s well worth it.
Definitely worth buying currently(as it is on sale for 1.8 million.)
The MGs are not meant to destroy vehicles, think disabling tactics, pop non-BP tires slow other vehicles down. AS far as taking down NPCs... thats up for debate.
No bullshit, an actual good guide. I like it.
"you cant carry as many friends around" as if gta players have enough friends to need a 4-door vehicle
Life looks different when you are a popular YTer. And in any case being a passenger is boring. Unless you are planning to cause mischief.
To think that these sports car have more armour than tanks, Rockstar logic never fails to amaze
After playing the update more and making one of the new cars have the RC function, it’s so fun just trolling players in what seems like an autonomous vehicle.
The Remote Control feature is broken
@@SuperMurray2009 care to clarify?
@@brandon5505 Extremely easy to kill and troll people with this
Trolling=unpunishable griefing
@@lul911 not necessarily, I don’t just go around killing randoms… I only go after players who attack me first
Great guides just discovered you
I love this car, I just wish it was a tad bit faster.
The armor plating on the right side of this car is a shade darker than the left side and IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY.
I wanted to like it but for that reason only I had to sell it. Can't drive on the streets with such misery.
2 videos in one day (so far)? Ghillie is a busy boy. Also Champion looks awesome. Too bad its slow.
It's not really slow. But it isn't the fastest.
@@AmaryIIion Yeah but when I drove it around while trying to do missions with my friends, it just gets around so much slower than the Buffalo. So I guess I mean slow by comparison. When you’re turning a lot and losing momentum that top speed means nothing but I see your point.
@@JessieJTS It's a fast car with a front mounted V12. It has a tendency to oversteer.
@@choppergunner8650 cool name! Yeah but that price/performance ratio and all the Imani tech can be put on much cheaper vehicles. I still like the car but as an Aston Martin fan, the performance makes me sad
@@JessieJTS The IRL AM Victor is a homage to the classic AM V8 Vantage, so my money flew right out of the pocket, no discounted price.
I think that we found something to defend against oppressors with the imani tech
I love the champion is fast enough especially if you are a good driver.
Ghillie will you be doing a video on the problems that arose with this update? Like arcade trophies gone missing as well as you can not start cayo heist if you spawn inside kosatka on session change? I feel like rockstar does watch your videos. Anyways cheers mate
Champion is based off Aston Martin Victor if anyone wondered
Is that what I stole last night? I don't think it was a player car but it looked just like that, and after I stole it one player kept chasing me down with his buddy. Thing was OP. I was just trying to run but it was so quick to turn around that it was easy to turn on a dime and hit him with suppressing fire when he'd get out of his car. I was having a blast though i had no idea what was going on. I wonder if it was for a mission or something... the guns were definitely low, but it was handy for causing chaos in the road to throw my tail off.
The Kreiger and the Ignus are the fastest Super Cars in-game (Ignus is an all wheel drive I think) and they are just barely ahead of the Champion, also, I think the new Buffalo is also the fastest muscle car (it's either that or the Dominator ASP) and it is an all wheel drive compared to the Rear Wheel Drive of the Champion so I think the Champion is a relatively good car
no
Double upload day let’s go baby!
been working hard! Nice vid
This car could of been so much better with a little speed they really dropped the ball here but the other vehicles make up for it
I saw the ingus beat the krieger in an airport race. Forgot who did the test but it was a popular UA-camr. But then the pariah beat the ingus. So idk what the ingus can do but I like it. The Buffalo is amazing. The armored suv is a beast! Hummer of course is amazing (even tho I got shot out of it when backup to someone and I have the slant back roof but he caught me from a side slightly)
I wanna buy the champion strictly for it look! It’s such a SiK looking design like jo other. Whereas the Zeno which I heard is broken looks like the damn T-20 at first glance
4:22 to be fair though, the new buffalo is based on the hellcat charger which stupid fast irl
Pretty sure the minigun and Lazer minigun break the windows in one bullet
Can we all agree that when they uploads our days gets better ! ❤
damn, it looks nice in aston martin green
Jubilee is actually good. Not in speed but for keeps it's just good.
The champion is a lose base off of the Aston Martin Victor. The Victor is a one off car that wasn't overly built for speed or top end
Good video.
The closed captions for this are amazingly off :D
Wait this car can pop tires?
Finally some good fun.
I now recognise u as the proffessional's friend
God bless to the 1% who see this comment
Ghillie thanks for the info Im loving the content
I'll catch it on sale, it looks really great but I can't justify the price over performance
Why can we not just add the tech to all the standard cars not the armoured vehicles
A massive costs that we would all pay gladly .
Aaah the Zentorno with no lock how 🤤 😋
This car only good for RC
Good oldschool looking supercar and armored even finaly ffs 🙏👌
I recoiled at that price tag
Yes yes it is it’s worth it worth every single penny it’s so fun to drive around
Weaponised Ignus is better though
The only thing i hate of this car is the slender rear wheels. To me every supercar MUST have big, wide rear wheels.
Tbh, I would rather prefer a cruddy underwhelming vehicle rather than some mk 3 type shit.
Might not be as fast as the Ignus or Kreiger but neither will get close to you with the slick mines ;) I love this car.
i am pretty sure that rockstar have surely made the champion that way( in all aspects) or else it will be the most over powered vehicle in gta 5 online ( might even beat the oppresor)
Eh it doesn't really give you much offensive power if you use the missile jammer its basically a giant anti greif sponge thats reasonably fast if you could add homing missiles then it'd be that level though
@@marcusmccluskey6473 Fast armoured cars with slick mines could be used for griefing in a more old-school way. It is rare compared to jets and broomsticks, but I do occasionally see griefers in Toreadors or supercars.
@@KimonFrousios yea I mean technically you can grief in anything but these new cars are not good for greifing the rc car all.ya gotta do is either hop on a rooftop or drive away none of them are super fast cars and the lock on tech is good for countering greifing but has no real greifing ability these cars are just normal cars with really bad machine guns that can take more damage
I think the deity let's you go passive, I have weapons and I could somehow go passive
I just bought the Champion and on a discount.
