Editor's Take
The Obey Tailgater S is a niche purchase at $1,495,000. For similar money, the Grotti Itali GTO Stinger TT ($2,145,000) provides more practical value in most gameplay scenarios. Buy it for the collection factor or personal preference, not competitive advantage.
The Obey Tailgater S is 2 speed points above the Pfister Neon at a similar price. For players weighing performance against cost, the value comparison favors whichever better fits their garage gaps.
Best Uses for the Obey Tailgater S
Enjoyable to drive around Los Santos in freemode.
For Grinders
Neutral choice for grinders. The Tailgater S doesn't specifically help with money-making, but at $1,495,000 it's a fun vehicle to own once you've established steady income streams. Consider purchasing after your core businesses are fully upgraded.
For Beginners
Consider this a mid-game purchase. Beginners should focus on establishing income first, but the Tailgater S makes a good goal to work toward. The learning curve is moderate, so expect a few hours of practice before you can exploit its full potential in missions and freemode activities.
For Racers
Viable for racing but not optimal. Currently ranked #27 out of 27 vehicles by top speed, the Tailgater S can win races in the right hands, but elite-tier alternatives will have a slight edge on most tracks. It excels on technical circuits where handling matters more than raw top speed, so track selection plays to its strengths.
For PvP Players
The Tailgater S has limited direct PvP applications. For dedicated freemode combat, invest in weaponized vehicles or Imani Tech upgrades instead.
For Collectors
Worth owning for collection completeness, though the Tailgater S isn't particularly rare or prestigious among dedicated collectors. Nice to have in a themed garage, but not a priority purchase unless you're specifically building a Sports showcase collection.
Bottom line: Buy it for the collection factor or personal preference, not competitive advantage.

Handling Tips
- The Tailgater S rewards trail braking—gradually release the brake as you turn in to unlock extra rotation without losing stability. This technique suits its balanced handling profile.
- In the Tailgater S, the gap between a clean lap and a messy one can be 2-3 seconds. Smooth throttle application through corners makes the difference in competitive lobbies.
- In the Tailgater S, tap curbs at the right angle on tight corners for a small speed boost. This curb-boosting technique is widely used in competitive Sports racing.
- Master weight transfer in the Tailgater S: braking loads the front for sharper turn-in, while accelerating plants the rear for better traction out of corners.
When NOT to Buy
- Don't impulse buy at full price. GTA Online has frequent sales - patience can save 30-40%.
