car AND cash...

Is that how much Vipers are worth over there in the states? As it is actually a Viper they based it on.

[Bronson 702]

No a stock Viper is a lot less. It's so expensive because it's all custom made and one of a kind.

[Massacre 7646]

It's solely because that's the only one. They didn't do more than $20,000 in work on that car.

[Ace Of Spades 1182]

So how do i enter?

Click the link at the top of my post.

edit: ^yeah that^

[DuPz0r 5361]

No surprise that it would be US only.

[CaPn bOnEs 8527]

what a bullshit fucking contest too... you're allowed a maximum of 17 votes per day, and you have to have the gamestop power up rewards shit too... looks like i won't be entering this contest, and i am a US resident...

[TreeFitty 2631]

Only way I could (or would) enter is through the mail. I probably won't bother.

[CaPn bOnEs 8527]

but that's only one entry every day or few days?? you can't compete against the kids with no jobs sitting at home with thousands of their parents hard earned dollars spent buying shit from gamestop...

[420Chronic 1]

Prizes: The one (1) Winner will receive: (i) Grand Theft Auto V Bravado Banshee Sports Car, with an approximate retail value ("ARV") of $180,000; and (ii) a $70,000 check made out to Winner, collectively ("Prize" or "Prizes"). The total ARV of the Prize is $250,000.

[CaPn bOnEs 8527]

that check for $70K is to cover taxes and insurance i am sure ...

[TreeFitty 2631]

Awesome. Then the government will take the cash as prize tax and you're still left with the car.

[Ouroboros 22]

stupid gamestop. i like how they say "no purchase necessary," but you need those points to enter. so basically you do need to purchase stuff to enter the contest, way to mislead everyone, gamestop!

[TreeFitty 2631]

You can mail in an entry (which technically still requires money but not paid to them so it doesn't count).

[DuPz0r 5361]

Yeah, using your reward points is like paying for the contest. They know that some people out there will rush to buy tons more games so they can spam their entries. And earn Gamestop money at the same time. That is a terribly greedy competition strategy, and sucks for the fans.

It's worse than QD's spampetition which has probably cost the winning competee's more money in electricity staying on the forums waiting for their next goal, than the cost of GTA V... xD

[Pothatuu 129]

Check it out jesse, I made one just like it in IV (bet you didn't know you could do that!)

I'm colour-blind too, so I hope the colours are close...

Rockstar and West Coast Customs Present the 2013 GTAV Bravado Banshee

Ever since

, the Bravado Banshee has been a symbol of the ultimate American sports car. With its aggressive, oversized styling and powerful engine, it became a mainstay as one of the most sought after high-performance rides from coast to coast - from Liberty City all the way to Los Santos...

Significant work went into creating this real world version of the 2013 model featured in Grand Theft Auto V. Utilizing state-of-the-art fabrication technologies, molds for the exterior were cut and machined piece-by-piece for the high performance base vehicle. With these molds each panel was laid out by hand to create an entirely new exterior resulting in a screen accurate reproduction of the Banshee.

The in-game version of the Banshee featured in Grand Theft Auto V.

Referencing the model and textures of the in-game car, the interior was handcrafted and stitched to capture the look and feel of its detailed cockpit, with seats upholstered and embroidered with the Banshee name and insignia. The dashboard, door panels and center console were reconfigured and finished with carbon inlays. And finally, a multi-speaker premium sound system was installed before giving it the iconic metallic blue exterior complete with ice white racing stripe.

The result is a one-of-kind supercar worthy of representing the Banshee's heritage and a tribute to some of the deep customization options you'll find in the Los Santos Customs shops of GTA V, where you can equip and style your vehicles with a wide range of visual and performance-based enhancements.

This month, GameStop is offering the chance to win this one-of-a-kind vehicle as part of the PowerUp Rewards™ Epic Rewards Giveaway™. Check out a sampling of interior and exterior images below.
