=== GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories ===
=== GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories ===
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 is based on a [[wp:Porsche Boxster#986|Porsche Boxster]] or possibly a [[wp:Toyota MR2#Third generation (MkIII) ZZW30 (2000–2007)|Toyota MR2 Spyder]]

A working name given to the Stinger in GTA III is "[[Shark]]", as evidenced in the "official" website for [[Capital Autos]] [http://www.rockstargames.com/grandtheftauto3/flash/capitalAutos/].


In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, it resembles a 1968-1973 [[wp:Ferrari Daytona|Ferrari Daytona]] Spyder, an apparent homage to [http://www.autofiends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/ferraridaytona.jpg Sonny Crockett's Ferrari Daytona Spyder replica], yet another one of GTA Vice City's references to [[wp:Miami Vice|Miami Vice]].
