The Money Fronts DLC in GTA 5 has introduced a fresh wave of vehicles, each with unique performance characteristics, top speeds, and lap time capabilities. Whether you're a competitive racer or a casual enthusiast, understanding how these new cars stack up in their respective classes is essential. Here's the ultimate GTA 5 Best Cars Tier List based on detailed performance testing, helping you decide which rides are worth your GTA$ investment.

Tampa GT – A Muscle Car With Character

• Lap Time: Over 1 second slower than the regular Tampa
• Top Speed: One of the highest among non-HSW muscle cars
• Strengths: Raw, old-school driving experience
• Weaknesses: Poor grip, slow braking, only 4 gears

Despite its slower performance, the Tampa GT delivers an engaging muscle car experience. Its HSW upgrade boosts its top speed to 155 mph, making it the third-fastest muscle car, but its handling remains a major drawback.

Woodlander – SUV with Personality

• Top Speed: Low for an SUV
• Lap Time: Mediocre, but interesting handling
• HSW Upgrade: Transforms the car, placing it 2nd in top speed and 4th in lap times for SUVs

With the HSW upgrade, the Woodlander becomes one of the top-performing SUVs, offering great grip and speed while maintaining a unique, weighty handling feel.

Hardy – Fastest Sedan with Weak Handling

• Top Speed: Best in the Sedans and Tuners classes
• Cornering: Poor
• Tier: Second tier for Sedans

Although the Hardy excels in straight-line speed, its cornering limitations hold it back. It’s a “sleeper” car in terms of raw speed but requires skill to handle effectively.

Minimus – Balanced and Consistent

• Top Speed: Average
• Lap Time: 104.9 seconds – just 0.2s behind top sedans
• Strengths: Great grip, strong balance
• Tier: Top tier for Sedans

The Minimus enters the sedan class as a well-rounded vehicle, adding to an already tight competition where the top seven sedans are within 0.4 seconds of each other in lap times.

Everon RS – Surprisingly Fast SUV

• Top Speed: High for a non-HSW SUV
• Acceleration: Excellent
• Tier: Top SUV tier (within 0.4s of best SUV lap time)

Although its handling is slightly clumsy, the Everon RS makes up for it with strong acceleration and a competitive top speed.

Police Bike (2025) – Emergency Class King

• Top Speed: One of the fastest land vehicles via wheelie boost
• Lap Time: Nearly matches Coke D10 Pursuit
• Strengths: Wheelie-based acceleration
• Class: Emergency

Back on top, the police bike's 2025 version features upgrades and now leads the emergency class again, offering unmatched top speed via wheelie exploitation.

Sentinel GTS – Mediocre but Manageable Sports Car

• Top Speed: 132 mph
• Tier: C tier for Sports
• Strengths: Balanced with practice
• Weaknesses: Understeer and lift-off oversteer

The Sentinel GTS is a competent but unremarkable car in the Sports class, good enough for casual use and straight-line races.

Rapid GTX – Spectre-Inspired Sports Car

• Top Speed: 132 mph
• Lap Time: Better than Sentinel GTS
• Tier: C tier for Sports
• Strengths: Well-planted, balanced

This vehicle is reminiscent of the Spectre in both looks and feel but performs better overall, making it a solid mid-tier option for sports car enthusiasts.

Suzume – Standard Electric Supercar

• Top Speed: Average for non-HSW electric supercars
• Lap Time: 59 seconds
• Tier: C tier for Supers
• Strengths: Quick lap times
• Weaknesses: Lacks uniqueness, heavy understeer

While the Suzume offers fast lap times, it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. It's just another decent supercar in a field full of 59-second lap time contenders.

Final Thoughts

This DLC introduces a refreshing level of class balance, especially in the SUV and Sedan classes, where both HSW and non-HSW vehicles compete closely. The Everin RS nearly matches the HSW Woodlander, proving that Rockstar could simply program cars to be fast without relying on HSW upgrades.

On the other hand, vehicles like the Tampa GT and Hardy show how poor cornering can still hinder top-tier performance, even with high top speeds. If you are interested in trying more vehicles, you can buy gta money in U4GM, which will help us easily get the required vehicles.
