The Stinger in GTA III.

The Stinger is a sports car. It handles great, responds well, and sticks to the road. This vehicle first appeared in the original Grand Theft Auto, but has also been in Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The vehicle does not appear in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

In GTA 1 it's based on the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette (the name is a reference to the Corvette Stingray). In GTA 2 it's based on the 1963 Corvette Split-Window. It can only be found in the Industrial District of Anywhere City, and gives the Electrofingers power-up when crushed.

In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the Stinger appears in hard-top and convertible form. Its performance is better than most vehicles, but is the least powerful of all the 2-door sports cars, with little tendency to drift. Its Yakuza variant, the Yakuza Stinger, handles better and is all-wheel-drive, as opposed to the stock cars, which are rear-drive. The Stinger in both games resembles a Porsche Boxster or a Toyota MR2-Spyder.

In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, it resembles a Ferrari Daytona Spyder, however, the developers avoided giving the Stinger "pop-up" headlights, like the real Ferarri has, as a result, the altered headlights look similar to the 1973 Chevrolet Corvette concept, the XP-897 GT.
