Willard Faction Custom Base Price - $371,000 Class - Muscle Drive-train - RWD Primarily Based On - 1984 Buick Grand National DLC Update - Lowriders Update Release Date - October 20th, 2015 Welcome back to the series where I customize and review OG, and older DLC Vehicles from late 2015 and older that I was never able to make videos on. The reason I make these videos on these older cars is to provide my opinion on how they currently stack up to newer ones in-game. And ultimately, help you better decide on whether or not you should buy them when/if the more expensive ones go on sale.

This man is a god send for the GTA Car Community. Whenever you need some guidance on cars, if you should buy them, or customisation that could help us strengthen our garages, this man is the way to go. Thank you DCA!
There is one important detail to bring up about the regular Faction: Its hitbox is scuffed, and has a real tendency to launch itself into the air off curbs or small obstacles. It's funny at first, but really dampens the driving experience, and it's a shame the car still has that issue.
@@racermigs1 they tried fixing it in 2015, but then it broke all the lowriders. They then just reverted back to the Faction being broken and never tried fixing again.
@@racermigs1 When Rockstar add a car, they never go back to fix them. Show how lack of care they have. Even BeamNG go back and fix or rework older cars.
The first car I bought when I got back into gta in 2019. Only thing I didn't like was the stock version makes contact with curbs. I wouldn't mind the upgrade so much if it wasn't slammed.
@@Jay_Digital I just tested it out. The Bennie's custom Factions front bumper just clips through the curbs. No more catching the curb unless you raise the back of the car. Also the rear wheels shrunk in width. Anyway I'm happy I can drive the car now without fear of curbs lol
@@katdaddy469 I think the original comment was how the stock version can't take any curbs. The custom version never had that issue. I'm gonna test the stock version tonight to see if it still does the curb flip thing.
I’d love to see the original Albany Virgo or the Vapid Chino, both are long forgotten classic American luxury cars that look amazing, I’m the only one that drives them anymore it seems
Growing up my dad had his completely original Buick Grand National in the garage with nothing but 80’s records in the back seat. Eventually he got it to work again before selling it in 2018. Wonderful car to drive if you get the chance.
12:02 You just described the true meaning of resto-mod. Restore and modify with updated tech. No candy paintjobs, no 20 inch wheels, no airbags. The stock look with an updated feel
I have the regular faction as a Buick Regal build but it's a nightmare to drive because for some reason it goes flying if you hit a curb lmao. Doesn't apply to the custom version tho
This car was one of the first cars I bought when I started playing GTA V for the first time and never sold it since! I don’t care much about the speed, but more of how nostalgic it feels to me. Shout outs to rockstar who put this in the game!
You forgot to mention that the regular faction absolutely hates curbs, but the custom version fixes that issue. Drive the regular faction and it's the most realistic car in game that reacts properly to curbing your vehicle
Rockstar needs to have a professional car expert go through and update some of these old cars Edit: I think it would create a bunch of hype if they did it right
I saw a completely original Grand National driving around my very small hometown the other day, that thing literally looked like it just rolled off the line
I own a 87 Buick Grand National IRL. In game I decided to sacrificed the hood option over the ridiculous wheel well and left it non Benny's. I just think it looks better stock. Slapped on a GNX plate and this has been one of my daily drivers in the game. However, not my daily driver IRL. It sits along side my 79 Trans Am, and gets pulled out about once a week.
I did the Grand national build in Benny’s custom… but then sold it and did the GN in stock build. Couldn’t get over the ridiculous ride height and annoying forced hydraulics. The stock build looks closer even without the hood bulge
There’s a kid named Shaiden Loveland from California who got into an argument with me over IG and insulted me and later threatened me about what kind of car this was in real life. He was arguing that it was a Monte Carlo SS. I argued that it was a Buick Grand National. I own a 1987 Buick Grand National in real life, and also checked GTA Wiki, which confirmed my claim. He said that he never even heard of the Buick Grand National, never seen the grand National, and didn’t care what GTA Wiki said. The kid who never heard of the Grand National and who had never seen a Grand National was arguing, insulting, then threatened the kid who checked GTA Wiki and owns one in real life. Just thought I’d share that story since it reminded me of it
Yes sir i owned 2 an 84 t type and a 85 t type cars changed my life on tje streets I was eating mustangs and corvettes left and right they would fear the sound of that turbo
The custom hood exists on the regular Faction too but it’s only obtainable via modding or glitching since it’s a vehicle extra (no option at LSC sadly)
@@DigitalCarAddict It’s unfortunately the case for many other vehicles (e.g. topless Casco, cageless Merryweather Mesa, etc. would have been awesome customization options) I hope R* will add vehicles extras as LSC options (fun fact: older convertible vehicles such as the og Banshee, Coquette and Coquette classic have their roof classified as "extras" but it is also available at LSC so it’s definitely doable for R*)
Better be the Sultan RS next. Also, you know what this game needs? A vehicle or two based on the GMC Syclone/Typhoon because those two were beefing with the Ferraris.
I know it has zero customization but the Oracle or Oracle XS would be really cool to see especially with the newer rims out that bring these cars back to life.Would be cool to see
I absolutely loved the Faction in GTA 4 and I don't care about the lowrider or donk versions ,because I have it for the Grand National reference BUT the fact that R* gave the stock car the lowrider handling flags like the horrible curb crash crap is beyond me IT SUCKS TO GET CAUGHT ON PEBBLES EVERY SINGLE TIME IM CUTTING CORNERS 😫
Also, I feel that the faction is more based off the regal Turbo T as it was available in multiple colors as the Faction is and the grand national was only available in black.
you should do a car cutomization battle with the comunity, based on types of cars or individual cars. let's goooooo, i wanna see more custom cars from more people
The PBMC is late to the comment section again, but slow is the way to go. Slow in a MOONBEAM, that is. Please vote for the ultimate feelgood machine that does party tricks AND wheelies!
Hope you see this, digital car addict, I have a question, do you buy sharkcards? If so you should do a video on how much you’ve spent on gta online over the years. I myself think that would be an entertaining video, thank you for all the info whenever something happens in gta online I watch every week when a new event week comes out and I watch you showcase current and past dlc vehicles, very entertaining👍

Very cool.
Hallo DCA :D
Can you accept my invite to your crew :)
My psn is: ITz_OVrr
@@DG1k727 you need to be in the Discord to join my crew and fill out the request form
Can you do a go kart race with the veto on the LS car meet track?
This man is a god send for the GTA Car Community. Whenever you need some guidance on cars, if you should buy them, or customisation that could help us strengthen our garages, this man is the way to go. Thank you DCA!
Couldnt have said it better myself
I thank him as well because of his taste in customizing cars
@@Surkuro6095 what’d we do wrong?
💯💯 any car i buy, i always check his video out for ideas and what to expect and how to design my own!
@@Surkuro6095 go to sleep ya damn broomstick boy
The Albany Cavalcade (old) should get the DCA touch. The OG SUVs are underrated in terms of customisation and need some love.
There is one important detail to bring up about the regular Faction: Its hitbox is scuffed, and has a real tendency to launch itself into the air off curbs or small obstacles. It's funny at first, but really dampens the driving experience, and it's a shame the car still has that issue.
I read somewhere that it's bc of a typo in the car's handling files. Why R* still hasn't fixed it, I'll never understand.
@@racermigs1 they tried fixing it in 2015, but then it broke all the lowriders. They then just reverted back to the Faction being broken and never tried fixing again.
It's still a beauty and a piece of eye candy at car meets
It's only a problem when it's stock but once you turn it into a lowrider it fixes that problem... As long as you don't pump the hydros lol.
@@racermigs1 When Rockstar add a car, they never go back to fix them. Show how lack of care they have.
Even BeamNG go back and fix or rework older cars.
Albany Roosevelt would be nice on this series. You didn’t have any commentary on your vid back then.
Standard Roosevelt or, Roosevelt Valor?
@@Madanbek_The_Dragon_Lover Valor, the standard version has no customization.
The first car I bought when I got back into gta in 2019. Only thing I didn't like was the stock version makes contact with curbs. I wouldn't mind the upgrade so much if it wasn't slammed.
I definitely cant drive it because of that lol it slams curbs til your car flips over
I thought the low n slow version would be even worse. So is better with curbs than the stock one?
@@katdaddy469 yeah it's pretty backwards.
@@Jay_Digital I just tested it out. The Bennie's custom Factions front bumper just clips through the curbs. No more catching the curb unless you raise the back of the car. Also the rear wheels shrunk in width. Anyway I'm happy I can drive the car now without fear of curbs lol
@@katdaddy469 I think the original comment was how the stock version can't take any curbs. The custom version never had that issue. I'm gonna test the stock version tonight to see if it still does the curb flip thing.
I’d love to see the original Albany Virgo or the Vapid Chino, both are long forgotten classic American luxury cars that look amazing, I’m the only one that drives them anymore it seems
They don’t have much customization but I think the originals look better than the lowriders because I personally don’t like lowriders
@@Thunderchicken69 hey i drive the virgo and virgo classic along with alot of badass muscle cars and sport classics.
I still drive both of them, specially when I'm looking for a 1960s outfit car.
The Albany Virgo sound is pure eargasm
Growing up my dad had his completely original Buick Grand National in the garage with nothing but 80’s records in the back seat. Eventually he got it to work again before selling it in 2018. Wonderful car to drive if you get the chance.
dubsta would be great (g-wagon)
@@Neko.Virtual Just like in real life.
Who remembers the GNX we have to use to destroy people who owe some guy money’s car in Midnight Club ?
God yeah I forgot about that until now
Yo i remember that. That shit used to be a quick cash grabber
God this and the Sabre were my favorites in GTA IV. Wish the GTA IV Sabre made it into GTA V, but the Faction is beautiful.
I would live to see the peagssi monroe, it is one of my favorite cars ever
Beautiful car along side the Stinger GT, i wish R* would ad customizations options on them
Would be cool to see FMJ
12:02
You just described the true meaning of resto-mod.
Restore and modify with updated tech.
No candy paintjobs, no 20 inch wheels, no airbags.
The stock look with an updated feel
What About a review for the Canis Kalahari, slowest looking but Hella cute off-roader.
How many attempts, DCA give this man a Kalahari video
@@Phantom_UmbrellaCorp cheers m8, my friends call me ''The Mad Man''
@@prettybadplayer782 I have one myself Mad Man, I just wish the spare tire colour would change with the respray
Please no the speaker cavalcade
@@atleusthevanquisher7360 I don't see you asking in literally every DCA video
Thanks, DCA; you always have a unique style of customising these cars, and you also provide us with useful information about them.
I have the regular faction as a Buick Regal build but it's a nightmare to drive because for some reason it goes flying if you hit a curb lmao.
Doesn't apply to the custom version tho
This is good to know. I thought it would have been worse in the slammed Bennie's version.
@@katdaddy469 The DONK version is pretty lit though. 180's on a dime.
It still does that? FFS
The Coquette Classic should be next
This channel hands down has the best gta5 car reviews
Can you please do one on the Karin Intruder? i don't believe you covered it yet if my memory is correct
The intruder i love that one its great lookin
Can’t wait to see the sultan RS!
Long day at work and the first thing i do when i get home is kick back with a cookie and watch DCA's latest vid! Thanks dude.
It’d be cool to see you customize the Moonbeam Custom next
Or the Minivan Custom
I love how this man got a story for each car he customize
It would be cool to see you review the mamba.
YES
This car was one of the first cars I bought when I started playing GTA V for the first time and never sold it since! I don’t care much about the speed, but more of how nostalgic it feels to me. Shout outs to rockstar who put this in the game!
Rockstar can't seem to grasp that the Grand National has a V6, the thing had a V8 in Midnight Club too
You forgot to mention that the regular faction absolutely hates curbs, but the custom version fixes that issue. Drive the regular faction and it's the most realistic car in game that reacts properly to curbing your vehicle
Would be cool to see the declasse tornado next.
Rockstar needs to have a professional car expert go through and update some of these old cars
Edit: I think it would create a bunch of hype if they did it right
Would be nice seeing the Baller, the version based on the Vogue since it looks really nice when customized
I'd love to see the Grotti Brioso R/A! That's a car you don't see very often!
This is one of few cars I keep selling and rebuying despite its notorious bug. Apart from skinny tires it stands out among other muscle cars
I love how you made it black as that was the only color available for the grand national
Fun fact, the Faction is the ultimate troll by R*, if you detach the stock hood it becomes the 'Power Bulge' hood like the GNX
you should do the surano next, haven’t seen you do that one yet
Yeah either the Surano or the Serrano
@@dirtymoneyyyy yeah it's a cool little SUV a lot of people forgot existed
Hmm, Surano is a sport car and Serrano is a SUV.
@@Wesley_C and both are Benefactors
I made a sick faction back in 2015. It would've won awards with how good it looked, it was wine red and gold.
The BF Bifta is SUUUPER underrated and I would love to see it in a vid
The banshee needs some love, vipers are just so clean in real life
The Karin Intruder (Infiniti Q45/Nissan Cima (F50) with Infiniti I30/Nissan Cefiro (A32) Rear Lights) I Guess
Still rooting for the Paradise van. We have to get there eventually!
I had a Faction once, I went with all black and I put on a specific set of rims from the Tuner section that resembled the GNX
I saw a completely original Grand National driving around my very small hometown the other day, that thing literally looked like it just rolled off the line
I own a 87 Buick Grand National IRL. In game I decided to sacrificed the hood option over the ridiculous wheel well and left it non Benny's. I just think it looks better stock. Slapped on a GNX plate and this has been one of my daily drivers in the game. However, not my daily driver IRL. It sits along side my 79 Trans Am, and gets pulled out about once a week.
Thanks for customising my favourite car in the world
Buick will always be one of my favourite cars ever both real life and gta 😂
I like this car good car you don’t really see this car around. Could you customize the Entity XF next
It wouldn't be a DCA video without mentioning how much darker the crew black is compared to the regular black
Bruh
I really wish they would add a 96 chevy impala ss, it's my dream car. But great video!!!
This Monday just got better!
I did the Grand national build in Benny’s custom… but then sold it and did the GN in stock build. Couldn’t get over the ridiculous ride height and annoying forced hydraulics. The stock build looks closer even without the hood bulge
Black suits a lot of cars, but black on a Grand National hits different
I mean, Grand Nationals only came in black, so makes sense.
grand national is still one of my dream cars
You can also control the hydraulics through the new interaction options now.
Man your videos are so great, thanks for being so awesome! ❤️
I just found the Lampdati Furore GT. And i wondered why you never made a video on it, cause i'd never hear of it. And i bought it and found out why.
Since the beginning I have been saying that this guy is the Doug Demouro of GTA!!!!!!
I would love to see the Dewbauchee Massacro get customize it's an awesome car love your videos.
I love your video is nice and customization vapid bullet😎
Thank you for choosing my requested car DCA!
Amazing car in GTA 5 online bro 😊

Probably the only Buick that doesn’t suck according to MrCarAddicts lol
Better be the Sultan RS next.
Also, you know what this game needs? A vehicle or two based on the GMC Syclone/Typhoon because those two were beefing with the Ferraris.
Maybe Ocelot Lynx next? Beautiful car if you ask me.
YESS I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!!
It would be nice if they gave us a supercharger option,turbo is cool but a whine could be cool on some cars
I know it has zero customization but the Oracle or Oracle XS would be really cool to see especially with the newer rims out that bring these cars back to life.Would be cool to see
you should do the hotknife it's sooo underrated! (day 2)
The Massacro would be a nice past DLC car to customise
I would love to see you customize Dewbauchee Massacro. Very forgotten car imo
I own a 1987 Buick Grand National, great car.
I absolutely loved the Faction in GTA 4 and I don't care about the lowrider or donk versions ,because I have it for the Grand National reference BUT the fact that R* gave the stock car the lowrider handling flags like the horrible curb crash crap is beyond me IT SUCKS TO GET CAUGHT ON PEBBLES EVERY SINGLE TIME IM CUTTING CORNERS 😫
Terreto in fast and the furious uses 1 of this cars in the intro.. and it looks fckn mad, the power
Also, I feel that the faction is more based off the regal Turbo T as it was available in multiple colors as the Faction is and the grand national was only available in black.
Should be able put swangas on this.
Would love to see the Surano highly forgotten car
I love this car reminds me of that pink car from burnout paradise
Do the voodoo custom next, its a nice experience
You can get this to look like denzels car In training day! seriously cool car
you should do a car cutomization battle with the comunity, based on types of cars or individual cars. let's goooooo, i wanna see more custom cars from more people
Youga next? Its got some pretty good customization parts
BIg reason to make it a Benny's version is for the GN style hood. Unless you can find a modder to get your stock one to have the GN hood!
Just as my Grand National! Down to the wheels
i remember this car from gta sa, it was my favorite
can you do the Vapid FMJ next please? ik it isn’t the most requested but you didn’t talk when doing the video? love the work keep it up 👑
Do the dubsta 6x6, please
The PBMC is late to the comment section again, but slow is the way to go. Slow in a MOONBEAM, that is. Please vote for the ultimate feelgood machine that does party tricks AND wheelies!
I would like to see the old Cavalcade
I love this car and I love the videos the next car you should do next is the Buffalo s
Thanks dude! Also, I did the buffalo S about 2 month ago 👍 th-cam.com/video/lNvMg2tQBOU/w-d-xo.html
There is a turbo on the stock engine intake. It’s in the passenger front corner of the engine bay
If they released this same car today it would go for over 1 mil for sure
Thank u for all the content keep it up
I love this car, I use it to replicate my 1985 cutlass, cuz there similar enough
Absolute beautiful car
Great job bro Good morning world God bless 💪💯🙏
