Field Assessment
The Banshee is the American sports car that decided refinement was not the point. The Viper formula is displacement, rear-wheel drive, and the consequent handling that both produce. Not comfortable. Not forgiving. Fast.
In Vice City the Banshee is the domestic performance option for the driver who wants V10 output and the handling challenge that comes with it over the managed precision of the European alternatives. The Vice City car culture respects the commitment the Banshee requires.
The V10 soundtrack is the Banshee's most immediate communication. It precedes the car on approach and follows it on departure. In Vice City's street environment this is simultaneously the car's greatest social asset and its most significant tactical liability.
