To everyone saying its something else, It's a mix of the GM third generation F-bodies (Camaro and Firebird/Trans Am). I personally think it looks more like a Camaro. The headlight buckets are black like the Camaro Z/28s came with, the headlights and buckets are taller like the Camaro (Firebirds had thinner ones with hideaway headlights I believe), it has wrap around tail lights like the Camaro (unlike the Firebird), the stock rims on the Ruiner look a lot like those on the Camaro, and the stock vinyls on the Ruiner are obviously derived from 1985-1990 Camaro IROC-Z ground effects. The Phoenix is most likely supposed to be the Firebird counterpart because of the iconic Phoenix hood decal Firebirds of that era could be bought with.
The Trans Am is the Firebird. The Firebird everyone knows is the 1978 Trans Am which is the Phoenix in GTA V while the Ruiner is the 1987 Trans Am which explains the Ruiner 2000 being K.I.T.T. but strangely K.I.T.T. is actually a 1982 Trans Am.
Ever I since I got GTA 5 back in 2013 I loved this car. I haven’t seen it ever since I got a second copy of the game. I tried this and I couldn’t find it. Any idea why?
I know this is irrelevant but the Gta wiki states the ruiners are based on Pontiacs. Clearly the Taillights are that of a third gen Camaro, with the head lights are too, but look like Pontiacs at the same time. The body style are the same because GM owned Pontiacs and Chevrolet. (P.s I'm a car nerd so I kind of know these things.) (PP.S I literally just searched "imponte ruiner" just to write this complaint down because I love camaros Lol)
Ya, I have it somewhere on my video idea list. By the way, I think you'll like my next video. I finally found one of those Merryweather patrol cars! I'll be sure to mention you in the video
It's unmistakably 3rd gen F-body, but it does have early RX-7 design cues on the front. Camaro from the rear, Firebird/Camaro from the front. With an RX-7 headlight and front bumper. Would be a cool build for a real car.
I've seen this hundreds of times if I knew it was that special and people couldn't find it, I would have get it sooner xD
ᴡʜᴏ ᴇʟsᴇ ᴡᴀɴᴛᴇᴅ ᴛʜɪs ᴄᴀʀ ғᴏʀ ᴅʀɪғᴛɪɴɢ?
Ezza OvO I want it because it looks like an ea86

I'm looking for a camaro too
my irl firebird is nearly identical to this
The Trans Am is the Firebird.

Ruiner is more 3rd gen camaro but them again transam/camaro are like the same car irl 😅
it worked!!! thanks a lot man now i can drift in a car that looks like the delorean
it looks as kitt(2000) from knight rider.. :D
7 years later and this video helped me again
Easily found tons of them on the 360 but none so far on PS4... :/
they're common on ps4
I just found one.
I have one now
ive been searching for a while now, had no luck with a ruiner or a pheonix... help?
add me ewokesteppa arl help you
I found 2 pheonixes pretty close to one another at the import/export docks
I was super lucky and found one fully maxed out and sold it for 40k
I usually find a ruiner every 5 car in La Mesa but today i went from the casino to the airport and haven't seen one
Thanks i actually found one in that exact same spot,finally i can revive my off-road drag firebird :)
It reminds me of the z28 Cammaro and a transam hood or engine it's a really good car kind of. Reminds me of the Deluxo without being able to fly
Ever I since I got GTA 5 back in 2013 I loved this car. I haven’t seen it ever since I got a second copy of the game. I tried this and I couldn’t find it. Any idea why?
Thanks! I couldn't find a vid about getting one in story mode... But, I found the ruiner! It took me 3 days.
Sick vid man

It’s an 80s Firebird which if I’m not mistaken was similar to a Camaro so you’re probably right
I just want this because it’s the closest that looks like a mark 3 Supra and I wanna make it look like mine
Its been 20 min the car is not there
Thank u for the video I wanted to make adam lz drift car. plus what's xb1 gt
Just like the Hotline Miami car!
Thanks help a lot bro
Everyone says go to the docks for the Futo and Ruiner but I never find mine there. I find them by the rich aparments in the north side of town.
Descent drifting??? its one of the best
schafter best
+Lamar Blackman its really not its preference but if your good at drifting the rapid gt is the best
+Devin Espinoza yeah your probably right
I prefer the phoenix personally.
omg thank you first try (:
Thank you for the tip, what song is used in this video?
I can't recall the exact song, but I know it came from either Argofox or Teknoaxe's royalty free dubstep playlists
TheXboxMod360 Thank you!
skyblueboy02 hate to burst your bubble but the Trans Am and a Firebird of the same thing but one has a v6 and the other has a v8
Is there any features in the headlight covers moving up and down?
I don't think so, but that would be awesome
Sadly no. I find that kinda stupid since the real life version actually does that
@@klein2042 I think this is more based of the Iroc z
Albin Söderberg It is supposed to be but the model is obviously taken from a Trans Am because it still has the outline of the pop up headlights
how do you get the roof?
Is there a way to take the roof off if you find one with the roof panels on?
I have two questions about this car.
1) Do the headlights flip up when activated?
2) Is there any way to get it with a standard roof, not a t-top?
Cr33p3rKid if you tint the windows limo black the top will be unnoticeable make sure your primary color is black
The lights don’t go up bur u can find a ruiner with roof but there rare
It looks like the knight rider car that's why I even wanted it I even added red neon lightning in the front
There's a panel-less Dune Buggy in Paleto Bay, only has one spawn so it's pretty rare, but not a lot of people know about it.
Ya, I have it somewhere on my video idea list. By the way, I think you'll like my next video. I finally found one of those Merryweather patrol cars! I'll be sure to mention you in the video
I have an 87 firebird irl so I had to get this car in gta
Roses are red violets are blue I didn’t get click bated so thank you
I had one of these and got out of it to look at another car and when i came back it was gone
Everybody in the comments talking about trans am this and Camaro that. I'm tryna get the runner because it look like my irl car '88 nissan 300zx.
A Trans Am is a type of Firebird, not two different cars.
xm360 i want you to modify the ruiner to the best ram bumper then i want you to try and ram every car in the game
I want one with no t top any sugestions?
I always thought it looked like a Pontiac firebird.
I’m pretty sure it is. It’s almost identical
Barrel Rider but I thought the Phoenix was the firebird
Martin Tapia They both are. The Phoenix is a 1977 and the Ruiner is a 1982
Barrel Rider I heard that it was the old school Chevy
Martin Tapia Even the GTA wiki says that it’s a 1982 Firebird
It's a version of a nissan 240sx or nissan 300zx
christian aguilar no
Can you do it in a invite only session
its a IROC-Z Camaro they used them for nascars
I use it because it looks like Takumi AE86
Its looks like a nissan 240sx s13
yeah I searched up 240sx and this came up
LØCUS I thought the same thing
ILLÜSIØN I came here cuz of street outlaws wen kyes camera beat them
ILLÜSIØN 240sx/camaro
Do you even know what a 170/200/240 looks like? This is not even close to a Nissan..
I'm here to get that nut case of Dwight Schrute's car.
what if you've been to several odd reason it does not spawn
The car is a 240sx not a camero
How do you unlock neon kits?
One more thing, I'm a HUGE Back To The Future fan and I love the delorean.
Looks like a silvia
I found my without even trying. Really. I was trying to find the Phoenix, and found that instead. I sold one, and 'bought' the other.

What's your Xbox 360 gt
He plays on Xbox one now Nathan
I know
Does anyone know how to pop up the headlights
Our caracters looks so similar

+It's Ya Boi Pooker i think it looks more like a 180sx
Pretty sure it’s a Pontiac Firebird. It’s almost identical
It's unmistakably 3rd gen F-body, but it does have early RX-7 design cues on the front. Camaro from the rear, Firebird/Camaro from the front. With an RX-7 headlight and front bumper. Would be a cool build for a real car.
